If adjustment is required, pull and rotate the half round 180 degrees [180 degree rotation].

The post is adjustable and can be moved to any position within the slot.

Step 6: Install lever or knob

If screws are not visible on lever or knob, skip to Step 7.

A. Attach the strike plate to the door frame using screws C (x2), D (x2), and A (x2).

Make sure the hole in the door frame is drilled a minimum of 1" (25 mm) deep.

Longer screws (3" / 76 mm) install closest to the jamb for maximum security.
