- Bore Hole Dimensions: The cross bore hole must be 2-1/8 inches in diameter. The edge bore hole must be 1 inch in diameter.
- Backset: The latch is adjustable for backsets of 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches.
- Existing Hardware: Remove any existing door hardware before beginning installation.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Door: Ensure the door is prepped according to the specifications listed above.
- Install the Latch:

- Adjust the latch for the correct backset (2-3/8" or 2-3/4") if needed.
- Slide the latch into the door's edge bore hole, ensuring the horizontal rectangular hole is centered in the cross bore hole.
- Secure the latch with the two wood screws provided. Do not overtighten.
- Install the Exterior Keypad:
- Check the orientation of the tailpiece; the arrow should face upward, and the tailpiece should be vertical.
- Position the exterior keypad flush on the outside of the door.
- Guide the cable under the latch and through the cross bore hole to the interior side.

- Seat the cable under the cable hook on the interior side of the lock.
- Ensure the thumb turn is in the horizontal position.
- Mount the interior side of the lock onto the mounting plate, being careful not to pinch the cable. Hook the bottom first, then push the top into place until it clicks.
- Insert the two small black screws into the battery compartment holes and tighten.
- Install Key-Free Cylinder and Levers:
- Insert the key-free cylinder into the opening on the keypad side. The bar on the cylinder should face the opposite direction from the latch.
