For factory prepared doors only
Caution: If you use hollow metal doors, determine whether the
doors are reinforced enough to support the lock. If door rein-
forcement is not adequate, consult the door manufacturer for
information on proper reinforcement.
Simplified instructions
1 Install the latch so that the bevel on the latchbolt faces the strike.
2 Adjust the outside rose assembly so that the chassis is centered in
the door. Install the chassis from the outside of the door.
3 Install the inside liner, through-bolts, rose, lever, and strike.
For field door preparation and detailed installation instructions, see the
following steps.
1Position template
1 Fold the template and place in position on the high edge of the door
bevel (see Figure 2).
2 Mark the drill points for lock and latch.
Note: The suggested height from floor to centerline of the lock is
40 5/16″. If steel frames are used, the latch centerline must be in line
with the center of the strike preparation.
2Bore two holes and install latch
1 Bore a 2 1/8″diameter hole from both sides of the door, to the center
of the door as shown in Figure 3.
2 Drill a 1″diameter hole from the edge of the door that intersects the
21/8
″hole.
3 Mortise the door edge for the latch face.
4 Install the latch and check the door swing. Latch tabs should project
into the 2 1/8″diameter hole.
3Remove inside knob and
rose & liner assembly
1 Insert the spanner wrench tip into the knob keeper hole and depress
the keeper.
2 Slide the knob off.
3 Remove the rose and liner assembly.

4Adjust to door thickness
■Rotate the outside rose in or out until the
retractor is centered in the door.
5Engage retractor in latch
1 With the latch in place, install the chassis
from outside of the door.
2 Make sure that the latch tabs fit into the
chassis frame and the latch tailpiece fits into
the retractor.
6Install liner and rose
1 Separate the rose and liner (gently pry apart
at the tab slot).
2 Place the liner in position with the tab slot
at the bottom and tighten the through
bolts.
3 Align the rose slot with the liner tab slot at
the bottom and press the rose firmly onto
the liner until flush with the door.
7Install inside knob
1 Align the two lugs (“dimples”) on the knob
shank with the long slot in the sleeve and
slide the knob onto the sleeve.
2 Make sure that the knob keeper snaps into
place.
3 Test both knobs for functionality.
8Install strike plate
1 Mortise the door jamb to fit the strike box
and strike plate. Make sure to align the
strike plate and latchbolt centers.
Caution: The deadlocking plunger of the
latchbolt must not enter the strike plate
opening. The plunger deadlocks the
latchbolt and prevents forcing the latch
when the door is closed. A gap of more
than 1/8” may reduce security and/or
cause improper operation of the latch-
bolt.
2 Insert the strike box and secure the strike
plate with the screws provided.
9Check handing
Note: When BEST 6K locks are properly
installed, the figure-8 hole must be in the
upper half of the knob. If it is not, change the
hand of the lock.
To change the hand of the lock
1 Remove the core and throw member (if
already installed). See Figure 11.
2 Rotate the knob face one-half turn so that
the figure-8 is in the upper half of the knob.
10 Install core
For ‘R’ function locks only
■Simulating the throw member, insert a
screwdriver into the figure-8 opening and
turn the locking mechanism counterclock-
wise as far as it will go before installing the
core.
For all functions (including ‘R’ function)
For 6-pin core users only: Slide the spacer
— supplied with your 6-pin cores — over
the 7-pin throw member.
Note: If you have ordered 6-pin cores, you
will get one spacer per core with your order.
Spacers are not supplied with locks.
1 Insert the throw member (or throw member
and spacer) into the back of the core.
2 Insert the control key into the core and turn
the key 15 degrees clockwise.
3 Insert the core and throw member into the
knob with the control key as shown in
Figure 11.
4 Turn the key 15 degrees counterclockwise
and remove the key.
