Installation Guide

Prepare door and check dimensions

If drilling a new door, use
the supplied template and
the complete door drilling
instructions available at
weiserlock.com/doorprep

Confirm bottom hole location

Fold the supplied template along
the fold line and place on the
exterior side of your door so that
the holes in the template are aligned
with the holes in your door.

If you already have the bottom hole
drilled in your door, confirm that its
location falls between the highest
and lowest holes at the bottom of
the template. If it does not fall within
this range, drill a new hole in step 3.
If the bottom hole is not drilled, use
the template to mark the location of
the new hole on your door. Make sure
it is aligned with the other holes in the
door. Drill a new hole in step 3 at the
9-1/8” (232 mm) mark on the template

Drill new bottom hole (if needed)

Extend the top latch bolt

Adjust the backset of the top latch (if needed)

Hold the latch in front of the
door hole, with the latch case 
flush against the door edge.

If the D-shaped hole is centered
in the door hole, no adjustment 
is required. Proceed to step 6.
If the D-shaped hole is NOT
centered, adjust latch. See
“Latch Adjustment” (step 5C)

Latch Adjustment (only if needed)

Rotate the front of the
latch to extend it.

Pull plate to test for tight fit.
Use a screwdriver to
retract the latch bolt.  Prepare the bottom latch

Install the latch face on the BOTTOM latch.

Install the backplate and rectangular faceplate.

Ensure faceplate and 
backplate snap together.

Install the drive-in collar.

Hold the BOTTOM latch
in front of the door hole,   
with the latch face flush
against the door edge.

If the semicircular hole is centered
in the door hole, no adjustment is 
required. Proceed to step 8.
If the semicircular hole is NOT
centered, adjust latch. See “Latch
Adjustment” (step 7D).

Install the bottom latch

Install deadbolt

Locate the mounting
screws and keep
them within reach.

Make sure the interior
turnpiece is vertical.

The mounting plate should be
pre-installed on the interior.   
If removed, re-install.

Insert the interior torque
blade through the
D-shaped hole in the latch.

Insert the
EXTERIOR torque

blade into the
turnpiece hole.

Secure the
deadbolt with
mounting screws.

Troubleshooting

If the screws are difficult to tighten, make
sure the latch is installed correctly. 

If the turnpiece does not rotate, make
sure the turnpiece is vertical, the latch
bolt is extended, and the curve of the
exterior torque blade faces up.

Install handleset

Hold the handleset
on the exterior side
of the door and make
sure the round edge
of the spindle faces
the door edge.

Insert the spindle into the
semi-circular hole in the
bottom latch, and insert the
bottom post through the
bottom hole in the door.

Secure the handleset with the
washer, screw, and screw cover.

upward to insert and 
tighten the screws.

If the lever needs tightening, use
the supplied wrench to tighten
the pre-installed set screw.

Install strikes

Close the door and test the handleset operation. If the latch is loose in the strike,
adjust the strike tab so it grips the latch bolt better when the door is closed.

with your existing key.
