Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, locksmith, or qualified handyman following the door manufacturer's pre-bore specifications. Confirm the door backset measurement before installation to ensure the latch seats flush with the door edge. No special tools beyond a screwdriver are generally required for standard pre-bored doors. Follow all applicable local building codes for interior door hardware.
