How do I install an EMTEK Single Cylinder Deadbolt on a standard door?

[DelDallas]

Installing an EMTEK Single Cylinder Deadbolt Lock on a standard door involves several key steps. First, prepare the door by measuring and marking the desired height for the deadbolt on the door edge. Use a hole saw to drill a 2-1/8" diameter hole through the door at the marked height. Then, drill a 1" diameter hole from the door's edge to intersect the 2-1/8" hole, creating the latch hole. Next, prepare the door jamb by measuring and marking the strike plate's location. Use a chisel to mortise the strike plate into the door jamb. To install the latch, insert it into the 2-1/8" hole on the door edge, ensuring the beveled side faces the closing direction of the door. Secure the latch with the provided screws. For the outside installation, insert the exterior assembly into the latch from the outside, aligning the holes and securing it with screws. Finally, install the interior assembly from the inside, aligning the holes and securing it with the appropriate screws.
