DOOR PREP: INITIAL STEPS
1. INSPECT THE DOOR BEVEL
Inspect the door for a bevel and, if beveled, determine which side is "longer" in width and which side is "shorter" in
width (see "top view" example in Fig. 1). For beveled doors, be sure to use the correct marks printed on the template
for the correct length of the outside door surface (either the "long" or "short" side of the door).
2. PREP DOOR FOR MORTISE LOCK
If not done already, use standard door prep kit tools and the instructions included with the mortise lock to prep the
door and door jamb as required. These include mortising the door edge for the latch plate and mortising the door
jamb for the strike plate.
Do not install the lock hardware yet.
