A. DETER INING THE LOCK
LOCATION
Install the lock with the exterior thumbturn hole at
least 7" (18 cm) above your primary lockset so it is
comfortable to operate and not in the way when
you turn the door knob.
A minimum stile width of 4" (10.16 cm) is recom-
mended for mounting (See Figure 1-1).
B. ARKING THE DOOR
NOTE: Be sure to use the correct template
(right-hand or left-hand door - 2 3⁄8" or 2 3⁄4").
If the wrong template is used, you will have to
redrill the door, leaving previously drilled holes
exposed.
B-1 Carefully fold the template on 2 3⁄8" or 2 3⁄4"
line (found in the center of this booklet)
(See Figure 2-1).
B-2 Tape the template securely to the outside of the
door so that all the indicated folds are properly aligned with the edge of the
door.
B-3 Use a center punch to make the marks for drilling the seven holes precisely
at the points indicated on the template. The center punch mark in the edge
of the door must be centered based on the thickness of the door.
B-4 Remove the template.
C. DRILLING HOLES IN THE DOOR
CAUTION: Positioning and drilling must be done
straight to ensure trouble free operation of the 7100
Series lockset. Improper drilling may result in exces-
sive force being exerted on the lock which may result
in the premature wearing of its mechanical parts.
You must do C-1 first otherwise it will be
impossible to drill the 1⁄4" (6 mm) holes.
C-1 Use a 1⁄4" (6 mm) drill bit to drill the four holes
marked A (See Figure 3-1). Begin drilling at a
slow speed and increase the speed gradually
until the tip of the drill bit emerges from the other side of the door. Repeat
this procedure from the opposite side of the door. This technique will pre-
vent splintering of the door or breaking the drill bit.

C-2 Use a hole saw with pilot bit to make the 1 5⁄8"
(41 mm) hole (B). Apply pressure evenly until
the circular blade cuts the first side of the door
and the tip of the pilot bit emerges through the
other side, then stop. Drill from the other side
until the 1 5⁄8" (41 mm) hole is completed.
C-3 Repeat C-2 for the 3⁄4" (19 mm) hole, (C).
C-4 The final 1" (25 mm) hole (D) is crossbored
through the edge of the door. Carefully bore 4"
(10 cm) deep (See Figures 3-1 and 3-2).
D. AKING THE BOLT FACE PLATE
CUTOUT
This procedure is applicable to wood doors.
D-1 Insert the bolt into the 1" (25 mm) hole until the face plate butts up against
the door edge. Draw a line around the face plate. Remove the bolt from the
door, A (See Figure 4-1).
D-2 For doors without a beveled edge, use a sharp
1" (25 mm) wood chisel to remove approxi-
mately 1⁄8" (3 mm) of material or enough so
the face plate is perfectly flush with the edge
of the door, B (See Figure 4-1).
D-3 For doors with a beveled edge, follow step 2
except the face plate will not be flush with the
edge of the door, but rather square to the face of the door. In order to
accomplish this, you must remove more wood from the higher edge of the
door.
E. INSTALLING THE BOLT
E-1 Right Hand Door (see template)
a. Insert the bolt, with the arrow pointing up,
into the 1" (25 mm) hole (See Figure 5-1).
b. Secure the bolt face plate to the door with
the two Phillips-head screws provided.

b. Secure the bolt face plate to the door with
the two Phillips-head screws provided.
F. ADJUSTING THE LOCK
The lock has been pre-assembled to
accommodate doors up to 2 1⁄4" (57 mm) thick.
If your door is 1 3⁄8" to 2 " (35 mm to 51 mm) thick,
you must shorten both tailpieces X and Y (See
Figure 6-1).
F-1. Shorten the combination change tailpiece X
according to your door thickness. Tailpiece X
has been premarked for various door thick-
nesses for accuracy and convenience (See
Figure 6-1).
a. After determining the breakoff point, hold
the tailpiece firmly with a pair of pliers on
the lock side of the tailpiece, just beside
the desired break line (See Figure 6-2).
b. With a second pair of pliers, grip the
tailpiece at the other side of the line
and bend it up and down until it breaks
(See Figure 6-2).
F-2. While holding the lockset firmly against the outside surface of the door,
(See Figure 6-1), mark tailpiece Yat the point where it extends
1⁄2" - 5⁄8" beyond the interior surface of the door.
a. After determining the breakoff point, hold the tailpiece firmly with a pair
of pliers on the lock side of the tailpiece, just beside the desired break
line (See Figure 6-2).
b. With a second pair of pliers, grip the tailpiece at the other side of the
line and bend it up and down until it breaks (See Figure 6-2).

G. INSTALLING THE LOCK
• For 1 3⁄8" - 1 1⁄2" (35 mm - 38 mm) thick doors, use the 2 3⁄8" (44 mm) thru bolts.
• For 1 1⁄2" - 2" (38 mm - 51 mm) thick doors, use the 2 3⁄8" (44 mm) thru bolts.
• For 2" - 2 1⁄4" (51 mm - 57 mm) thick doors, use the 3" (76 mm) thru bolts.
G-1. With the bolt extended in the locked position,
mount the lock from the outside of the door.
Insert the tailpiece Yinto the vertical cutout of
the bolt assembly and the tailpiece Xinto the
3⁄4” (19 mm) hole (See Figure 7-1).
G-2. Hold the exterior lock assembly firmly against
the door. Try the factory-set combination.
Press buttons #2 and #4 together, release,
press button #3, and release. A distinctive
click must be felt to indicate that the button
has been correctly depressed. Turn the out-
side thumbturn to the right (clockwise) to the
stop position and release (the bolt should be
fully retracted). If not, turn the thumbturn to
the left (counterclockwise) to the stop posi-
tion and repeat Step G-2.
G-3 While holding the lock firmly against the out-
side surface of the door with one hand, use
the other to mount the inside thumbturn
assembly to the interior side of the door with
two thru-bolts finger tight (See Figure 7-2).
Make sure that tailpiece Yis engaged into the
vertical cutout of the inside thumbturn assembly.
G-4 Insert tailpiece Xinto the horizontal slot of the
combination change assembly. It may be nec-
essary to use a screwdriver to align tailpiece X
with the combination change assembly (See
Figure 7-3). Once aligned, secure with two
thru-bolts, but do not tighten (See Figure 7-4).
Note: The inside thumbturn is shown in a vertical position to show the two
thru-bolts. It may be assembled either vertically or horizontally.
I PORTANT: Tailpiece Xmust be inserted in the horizontal slot in order to
change your combination.
G-5 Make sure that both assemblies are correctly centered over the holes.
Tighten the thru-bolts evenly. Uneven tension could cause a malfunction
or damage to the lock.

H. CHECKING THE LOCK’S OPERATION
I PORTANT: The following steps MUST be performed while the DOOR IS OPEN.
Note: Turning the outside thumbturn to the left (counterclockwise) to the stop
position and releasing extends the bolt to the locked position. To retract the
bolt from the outside, depress the buttons of your preset combination, then
turn the thumbturn to the right (clockwise) to the stop position.
H-1 Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (coun-
terclockwise) until it stops, then release it (See
Figure 8-1).
H-2 Press the preset factory combination (2 and 4
pressed together, release, then 3, and release)
(See Figure 8-2). A distinctive click must be
felt to indicate that the buttons have been cor-
rectly depressed.
H-3 Turn the outside thumbturn to the right (clock-
wise) until it stops; the bolt should fully retract
(See Figure 8-3). If the bolt does not retract,
turn the thumbturn to the left (counterclock-
wise) until it stops. This will clear previously
depressed buttons. Release it and repeat Steps
H-2 and H-3.
H-4 Release the outside thumbturn; the bolt will
stay in the retracted position.
H-5 Turn the inside thumbturn Ato the stop posi-
tion; the bolt will extend to its locked position
(See Figure 8-4).
H-6 If the bolt does not retract or extend fully,
loosen the two thru-bolts of the inside thumb-
turn assembly A (See Figure 8-4). Move the
inside thumbturn assembly upward or down-
ward to properly center the inside thumbturn
assembly with the tailpiece, then tighten the
thru-bolts, and repeat Steps H-1 to H-5.
H-7 If the bolt still does not fully retract or extend
after repeating Step H-6, loosen the two thru-
bolts of the inside thumbturn assembly Aand combination change
assembly B (See Figure 8-4). Move the lock upward or downward to
properly align both tailpieces of the inside thumbturn assembly and
combination change assembly. Tighten the four thru-bolts and repeat
Steps H-1 to H-5 to ensure proper operation.
