To install your EMTEK Single Cylinder Deadbolt Lock on a standard door, follow these steps for a secure fit:
-
Door Preparation:
- Determine the deadbolt height and mark it on the door edge.
- Using a hole saw, drill a 2-1/8" diameter hole through the door at the marked height.
- Drill a 1" diameter hole from the door edge to intersect the larger hole, creating the latch hole.
-
Jamb Preparation:
- Mark the strike plate location on the door jamb.
- Use a chisel to mortise the strike plate into the door jamb.
-
Latch Installation:
- Insert the latch into the 2-1/8" hole, making sure the beveled side faces the direction the door closes.
- Fasten the latch with the supplied screws.
-
Exterior Assembly:
- From the outside, insert the exterior assembly into the latch.
- Align the assembly with the latch holes and secure using the provided screws.
-
Interior Assembly:
- From inside, insert the interior assembly into the latch.
- Align the assembly with the latch holes and fix it with the included screws.
