Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith, door hardware contractor, or qualified residential installer. Confirm the door bore and cross-bore dimensions match the latch and knob requirements before installation. Follow local building codes for residential entry hardware, and ensure the strike plate is secured with fasteners of appropriate length for the door frame material. Do not force the latch mechanism during alignment; adjust the strike plate position as needed for smooth latch engagement.
