1. Prepare the Door: Ensure your door is properly prepped with standard bore holes for the knob and latch. A drilling template and mounting hardware are included for new installations or if adjustments are needed. This tall plate design is ideal for doors 84 inches or higher, providing an aesthetically pleasing plate-to-door ratio.
2. Install the Latch Mechanism: Insert the latch mechanism into the edge of the door. Secure it with the provided screws. Ensure the bevel of the latch bolt faces the door frame.
3. Attach the Exterior Knob and Tall Plate: Position the exterior knob and tall plate assembly onto the door, aligning the spindle through the latch mechanism.
4. Attach the Interior Knob and Tall Plate: Place the interior knob and tall plate assembly onto the door, ensuring the privacy spindle engages with the exterior assembly. For this left-handed privacy knob, the privacy pin will be located on the right side of the interior knob.
5. Secure the Assemblies: Use the long mounting screws to connect the interior and exterior assemblies, tightening them evenly until snug. Do not overtighten.
6. Install the Strike Plate: On the door frame, align and install the strike plate with the provided screws, ensuring the latch bolt engages smoothly when the door is closed.
7. Test Operation: Close the door and test the knob's operation, including the privacy locking function, to ensure smooth and correct engagement.
