A Few Things They Won't Tell You

This is a good product and works great. The 2-1/4" notch was lined with a combination square and carefully cut out with a multi-tool. The instructions don't say the front screws adjust it for the thickness of the door. The front of the lock is slightly wider than the 2-1 /4" notch so it won't fit the edge of the door perfectly. Hold it and use a sharp knife to remove a small piece of material from the top and bottom if you want it to sit perfectly flush. Once up the lock is in the door, latch to pull the latch hook and slide into the jamb to make a mark. The mark shows where to slam. Turn the step over so it is lying flat, and secure it with tape Bring him the door Watch as you operate the latch to make sure the latch is vertical so the latch's hook goes through its opening and latches there nn caught on lower lip as it comes down. Outline the line with a pencil. Hold it in place and run a utility knife around the perimeter to begin the cut. Rotate the latch right side out to install. A 15/16 inch hole in the nut is too much. Instead, I made 3 vertically overlapping 3/8" holes. This was much cleaner and easily provided the required latch spacing.
