A-1. Door Preparation
Note: Drill from both sides of the door to prevent unsightly damage.
1. Determine which template fits your E-Plex 2xxx installation (either the
23⁄8" [60 mm] Backset or the 2 3⁄4" [70 mm] Backset).
2. Place appropriate paper template (supplied) onto door and mark for
holes. Drill the three 1⁄2" (13 mm) holes first. Next drill the 2 1⁄8" (54 mm)
cross bore hole. Drill the 1" (25 mm) hole last.
3. Mortise door edge for latch unit faceplate 3⁄16" (5 mm)
deep to dimensions shown. Insert latch unit into the
1" (25 mm) hole, making certain that the latch bolt
bevel faces direction of closing door.
4. Secure the latch to the door using two 1" (25 mm)
Phillips Mounting screws supplied. Latch unit
faceplate must be flush with door (for doors with
1" diameter hole, use sleeve on latch).
A-2. LOCK HANDING
The E-Plex 2xxx is a non-handed lock
that is preassembled for left-hand
door installations.
1. Determine the hand of your door. For Left Hand doors, proceed to section C.
For Right Hand doors, follow steps below.
2. Remove the two connecting screws from the
cylindrical drive unit. Rotate cylindrical drive
unit 180º. Reposition spacer(s) as found
before disassembly. Remount drive unit with
the two connecting screws.

A-3. DOOR THICKNESS
Depending on the kind of spacers shipped with the lock, choose Table 1 or
Table 2 to prepare the attachment plate and cylindrical drive unit for door
thickness different than 1 3⁄4" assembled in the factory.
Note: It is very important to assemble the spacers in the position shown.
1. LOCK WITH 3 DIFFERENT SPACERS
The cylindrical unit and plate assembly is
shipped assembled in factory for 1 3⁄4"
(44 mm) door thickness (1 11⁄16" [43 mm]
to less than 1 7⁄8" [48 mm]) with 2 spac-
ers "04"; 1 spacer "02" and 2 flat head
screws 5⁄8" (16 mm) LG. For other door
thicknesses, use Door Thickness Table 1
for appropriate spacers and screws
included in the hardware bag.
Prepare attachment plate and
cylindrical drive unit for door
thicknesses less than 1 11⁄16"
(43 mm) or 1 7⁄8" (48 mm) and
above according to the
Door Thickness Table 1.

2. LOCK WITH 2 DIFFERENT SPACERS
The cylindrical unit and plate assembly is
shipped assembled in factory for 1 3⁄4"

mm] with 2 spacers "07"; 1 spacer "08"
and 2 flat head screws 5⁄8" (16 mm) long.
For other door thicknesses, use Door

A-4. INSTALLING LOCK HOUSINGS
1. Insert the slotted end of the square spindle
into the outside lever hub until it locks, at an
angle of 45º. (The spindle can be removed
by pulling on it, if oriented incorrectly.)
2. Assemble gasket onto the outside
housing (a). Assemble cylindrical plate
assembly onto the outside lock hous-
ing. (Not required for PowerStar ver-
sions)
3. Place the outside housing (a) and
cylindrical plate assembly on the
door so that it engages the latch as
shown.
4.
On the inside trim assembly, turn the
lever to the correct horizontal rest
position for the handing of the door. Install the
tension spring (l) between
the stop plate (h) and the post (p).

A-5. INSTALLING THE STRIKE
Note: Use only the strike and strike box supplied. The
use of non-approved parts will result in a functionality
problem and may void the warranty.
1. Mark location of strike on the door frame, making
certain that the strike opening is aligned with
latch bolt.
2. Mortise doorframe for strike 3⁄32" (3 mm)
deep minimum to dimensions shown. Make
cut out for dust box. Secure strike to the
door frame using two 1" (25 mm)
combination screws.
Caution: Check the operation of the latch by making sure that the deadlatch
stops against the strike as shown and does not slide into the strike opening
when the door is closed. If that situation occurs, then a total lockout may
occur. This will void our warranty of the complete lock mechanism. If
necessary, correct the door over-travel by using the rubber bumpers as
described in Section P (Installing Rubber Bumpers).
5. Put the thumbturn (T) in a vertical
position. Assemble 3 spacers (S) on
the door (for recent models only).
Place the inside trim assembly on the
door so that the upper and lower
spindles (F) and (G) engage the
thumbturn and the inside lever. Fasten
to the outside housing using the three
1/8" hex drive mounting screws (I).
Install the screws without tightening.
Verify the inside lever and thumbturn
operates smootly. If not move the
inside and outside housings slightly.
Then tighten the screws.
