- Determine Mounting Location: Identify the desired position for the latch on the cabinet frame and the strike plate on the door. Ensure proper alignment for smooth operation.

- Mount the Strike Plate: Close the door gently to align the strike plate with the installed latch mechanism. Mark the screw holes on the door. Open the door and securely fasten the strike plate to the door using appropriate screws.
