Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, maintenance technicians, or general contractors using basic hand tools. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and that fastener holes are properly aligned before driving screws to avoid misalignment of the bolt throw. No power shutoff is required for hardware installation, but verify the door or gate is in a stable, unloaded position during mounting. Follow any applicable local building or security codes for latching hardware on egress or access-controlled openings.
