Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style interior lever trim for single cylinder residential door hardware installations. Confirm door prep dimensions and hardware series compatibility before ordering, as lever trim components are series-specific.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith or door hardware technician, though experienced DIYers can complete this work with standard hand tools. Before beginning, ensure the door is closed and secure and that no one is relying on the door latch for access during the service window. Follow the fastener sequence specified in the hardware manufacturer instructions to ensure proper lever operation and trim seating. Verify that the existing door preparation and backset are compatible with this trim before final installation.
