Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a residential locksmith or skilled finish carpenter following the door manufacturer's bore specifications. Disengage the door from its frame and ensure all existing hardware is removed before fitting the latch and strike plates. Fastener selection and strike reinforcement should comply with local building codes and any applicable security standards. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can bind the latch mechanism or distort the escutcheon.
