Installation Instructions

Tools Required:

• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Door: Ensure the door surface is clean and free of debris. This dummy lever does not require a bore hole for a latch mechanism, only mounting points for the plate.
2. Position the Arc Plate: Place the arc plate with the Newport lever on the desired side of the door. Ensure it is level and at the correct height.
3. Insert Dummy Spindle: Insert the dummy spindle through the door from the side where the lever will be mounted. The spindle provides a mounting point for the lever assembly.
4. Secure the Assembly: Align the mounting holes on the arc plate with the dummy spindle and the door. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the plate firmly to the door. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the door or the hardware.
5. Test Operation: Gently pull and push the lever to ensure it is securely attached and functions as a non-latching pull.
