Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith, finish carpenter, or qualified contractor following the door manufacturer's prep specifications and applicable local building codes. Verify door thickness and backset measurement before installing the latch and deadbolt assembly. Ensure the door is not under load and is properly aligned in the frame before final strike plate positioning. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can affect bolt throw and cylinder function.
