INSTALLATION OF CORVAN LATCH & DEADBOLT
PREPARING THE DOOR FOR INSTALLATION
The Lane Corvan Entrance Lockset is suitable
for doors with a thickness of 35mm – 45mm.
Using the template supplied, mark
all locations where you need to drill.
For accuracy and alignment, fold the
edge of the template where shown
around the door edge. The two lines
on the template edge that folds
around the door will be the position
for the Latch and Deadbolt.
Next, mark the centre
of the door edge.
Using the face plate
template, align the
centre of the template
with the centre line on
the door edge, then
mark all hole positions.
Drill the 25mm (1”) holes (x2) in the
edge of the door to a depth of around
95mm. (Ensure that these holes are
drilled squarely). Insert the Latch in
the top hole, Deadbolt in the bottom
hole then mark around the face plate
ready for Mortising.
Chisel out the timber to a depth of
around 3mm deep to allow the
Latch and Deadbolt to sit in flush
with the door edge.
IMPORTANT
THE DEADBOLT TAIL PIECE MUST BE
HORIZONTAL AND WHEN THE TWO PLATES
COME TOGETHER THE TAIL PIECE MUST
ENGAGE INTO THE TURN SNIB OR CYLINDER
SLOT LOCATED ON THE OPPOSITE TRIM PLATE.
Secure both trim plates with the
two long metal thread screws.
Tighten the screws and check all
locking operations work freely.
Insert the spindle through the Latch
then place the external trim plate
against the door. The bottom tail
piece MUST BE in the horizontal
position and pass through the
Deadbolt section. Then place
the internal trim plate into position.
When you are positive that all
locking operations work, push in
place the screw cover supplied.
N.B. There are four screw covers
supplied in the event you need to
remove the lockset at a later date
then re-install.
Insert the Latch into the top hole,
ensuring the taper on the Latch is
positioned towards the door jamb
where the strike plate will be located.
Place the Deadbolt into the bottom hole,
observing the ‘up’ direction indicated
on the Deadbolt, then screw into place
with the short wood screws supplied.
INSTALLING THE LATCH
& DEADBOLT STRIKE PLATES
> Next throw the Deadbolt then gently close the door
so the centre locations of the Latch & Deadbolt
can be marked in pencil against the door jamb.
> Retract the Latch & Deadbolt then close the door.
> When the door is fully closed, release the Latch
and gently throw the Deadbolt. Then mark the
position of the Latch & Deadbolt where they meet
the inside of the jamb.
> Retract the Latch & Bolt and then open the door.
The centre lines on the jamb indicate the centre of
the Latch & Deadbolt. The markings inside the
jamb will need to be positioned inside the 25mm
(1”) holes you drill into the inside of the jamb.
> Drill two 25mm (1”) holes inside the jamb to a
depth of around 25mm.
> Centre the ‘D’ shape strike plate supplied into the
top hole and the rectangular shaped strike plate
into the bottom hole. This is where the Latch and
Deadbolt will engage to lock the door closed.
> If the door binds with the two strike plates, we
recommend you draw around the edges of each
strike, then Mortise to a depth of between 1.6mm
- 2.0mm to allow a flush fit of the strike plates.
> Then using the short timber screws supplied,
secure both strike plates.
