For height align-
ment, close the door 
until the latch makes 
contact with the door 
jamb. Use a pencil 
and mark the top 
and bottom of the 
latch. 

Use a combination square and transfer the 
lines on the front edge of the door to the side. 
This will show the location of the latch when 
it is in the locked position. 

Find the center line of the jamb. This  
example shows the center line on a 4” wide 
offset hung door. The center line is 7/8” from 
the stop, or one half the thickness of the 
door. Use a combination square and draw a 
vertical line at this point.
