Prepare the cutout for the mortise in the edge of the door using a mortis-
ing machine, router and chisel (for dimensions, refer to template). Ensure
clearance is provided for moving latch parts as indicated on the template.

When making holes, drill from both sides of the door to prevent unsightly
damage (for dimensions, refer to template). Drill the small holes before
the large holes. This will keep small holes on location before the 2

C. INSTALLING THE STRIKE
C-1
Align the paper template on the door frame
to match with the desired handle height,
and along the vertical center line of the
mortise (CL), which is also the center line of
the door, allowing for any bumpers on the
door frame.
Respect applicable building codes regarding
handle height.
C-2
Select the strike for the desired handing, according to
the depiction on the template. Mark the location of the
strike cutout and mounting screws.
B. DOOR PREPARATION
If using the installation jig to prepare the door, refer
to the instructions provided with the jig, then pro-
ceed with step 7.
B-1
Mark the handle height on the edge of the door,
as determined directly from the strike.
The axis of rotation of the handle is level
with the bottom lip of the strike.
B-2
Align the template along the vertical
center line of the mortise (CL) at the
desired handle height, and tape it to
the door.
B-3
Mark all holes and cutouts for
the mortise in the edge of the
door and remove the template.
B-4
Locate the two sets of vertical fold
lines on the template allowing you to
adjust the positioning of the template
depending on the bevel of the door.
Note
: Fold lines on template are for

" door. Some thickness and bevel
conditions may make it necessary to
re-position the template for marking
each side of the door.
B-5
If the door has no bevel, fold the
template along the solid lines. Align
the fold with the edge of the door
and mark the holes for the lock.
Repeat on the other side of the door. If the door has a 3° bevel, fold and
align the dashed line marked “H” on the template with the higher-beveled
edge of the door and mark the lock holes on that side of the door. Repeat
on the side with the lower-beveled edge using the dashed line marked “L.”
