Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have the necessary tools, which typically include a Phillips head screwdriver, tape measure, and pencil. Verify your door's backset and bore hole dimensions match the lock's requirements.
- Prepare the Door: If replacing an existing lock, remove it. Ensure the door bore holes and edge bore are clean and correctly sized.
- Install Latches: Insert the deadbolt latch and the leverset latch into the door edge. Secure them with screws. Ensure the "UP" marking on the latch is facing upwards.
- Install Deadbolt Exterior Assembly: Place the exterior deadbolt cylinder through the door bore hole, ensuring the tailpiece aligns with the latch mechanism.
- Install Deadbolt Interior Assembly: Attach the interior deadbolt thumb-turn assembly, connecting it to the exterior cylinder's tailpiece. Secure with screws. Test the deadbolt operation with the thumb-turn.
- Install Leverset Exterior Assembly: Insert the exterior lever assembly through the door bore hole, aligning the spindle with the latch mechanism.
- Install Leverset Interior Assembly: Attach the interior lever assembly, ensuring it engages correctly with the exterior assembly and latch. Secure with screws. Test the leverset operation.
- Install Strike Plates: Install the strike plates for both the deadbolt and leverset on the door frame, ensuring proper alignment for smooth operation and security.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the lock's exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
