A. DETER INING THE LOCK LOCATION
nstall the lock with the exterior thumbturn at least
7" (18 cm) above your primary lock set so it is com-
fortable to operate and not in the way when you
turn the door knob. *A minimum stile width of
4" (10.16 cm) is required for mounting,
(See Figure 2-1).
B. ADJUSTING THE LATCH
( odel 7014 only)
This latch has been secured in the 2 3⁄4" back set
position with a spring clip. f your application
requires a 2 3⁄8" back set, remove the spring clip
by utilizing a small screw driver (or similar) and
inserting the tip through the latch as indicated by
the arrow, and gently pressing on the spring clip
until is removed from the latch.
C. ARKING THE DOOR
NOTE: Be sure to use the correct template
(right-hand or left-hand door - 2 3⁄8" or 2 3⁄4").
C-1 Carefully fold the template (found in the center
of this booklet) as indicated (See Figure 3-1).
C-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.
C-3 Use a center punch to make the marks for
drilling the seven holes precisely at the points
indicated on the template. The cen-ter punch mark in the edge of the
door must be centered based on the thickness of the door.
C-4 Remove the template.

D. DRILLING HOLES IN THE DOOR
CAUTION: Positioning and drilling must be done
straight to ensure troublefree operation of the
7000 Series lockset. mproper drilling may result
in excessive force being exerted on the lock which
may result in the premature wearing of its
mechanical parts.
You must do Step 1 first otherwise it will be impos-
sible to drill the 1⁄4" (6 mm) holes.
D-1 Use a 1⁄4" (6 mm) drill bit to drill the four holes
marked A (See Figure 4-1). 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 prevent splintering of the
door or breaking the drill bit.
D-2 Use a hole saw with pilot bit to make the 1 3⁄8"
(35 mm) hole. 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 3⁄8" (35 mm) hole is completed.
D-3 Repeat Step #2 for the 3⁄4" (19 mm) hole, (C).
D-4 The final 1" (25 mm) hole (D) is cross-bored
through the edge of the door. Carefully bore
4" (10 cm) deep (See Figure 4-1 and 4-2).
E. AKING THE LATCH FACE PLATE CUTOUT
This procedure is applicable to wood doors.
E-1 nsert the latch into the 1" (25 mm) hole until
the face plate butts up against the door edge.
Draw a line around the face plate, (See Figure
5-1), A. Remove the latch from the door.
E-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, (See Figure 5-1), B.
E-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. n order to accomplish this, you must remove more wood from the
higher edge of the door.

F. INSTALLING THE LATCH
F-1 For doors that swing outward, the curved
edge of the latch should be facing inward
towards the room. For doors that swing
inward, the curved edge of the latch should
be facing outward away from the room.
F-2 Put the latch into the 1" (25 mm) hole, (See Figure 6-1).
F-3 Secure the latch face plate to the door with the two Phillips-head screws
provided, pg.7, H.
G. INSTALLING THE TRI PLATE
G-1 Remove the two screws (A) from the back of
the lock, (See Figure 7-1).
G-2 Place the trim plate (pg.7,B) on the back of the
lock housing so that the large hole is at the
bottom. Make sure that the counter sunk sides
of the holes B are facing out, (See Figure 7-1).
G-3 Secure the trim plate to the housing with the
two screws.
H. ADJUSTING THE LOCK
The lock has been pre-assembled to accommodate
doors up to 2 1⁄4" (57 mm) thick. f your door is 1 3⁄8"
to 2" (35 mm to 51 mm) thick, you must shorten
both tailpieces X & Y (See Figure 8-1).
H-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 8-1).
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.
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 8-2).
H-2 While holding the lockset firmly against the outside surface of the door,
(See Figure 8-1), mark tailpiece Y at the point where it extends 1⁄2-5⁄8"
beyond the interior surface of the door. Shorten tailpiece Y using the
procedure described in Steps 1a & 1b.

I. INSTALLING THE LOCK
- For 1 3⁄4"-13⁄4" (33 - 44 mm) thick doors, use the 2 3⁄8" (45 mm) thru bolts.
- For 2"- 2 1⁄4" (51- 57 mm) thick doors, use the 3" (76 mm) thru bolts.
Mount the lock from the outside of the door.
I-1 nsert the tailpiece Y into the horizontal cutout
of the latch assembly and the tail piece X into
the 3⁄8" (19 mm) hole (See Figure 9-1).
I-2 Hold the exterior lock assembly (pg.7, A) firmly
against the door. Try the factory-set combina-
tion. Press buttons #2 and #4 together,
release, press button #3, and release. A dis-
tinctive click must be felt to indicate that the
button has been correctly depressed. Turn the
outside thumbturn to the right (clockwise) to
the stop position (the lach should be fully
retracted). f not, turn the thumbturn to the
left (counter clockwise) to the stop position
and repeat Step 2.
I-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 (pg.7, D) to the interior side of the
door with two thru-bolts finger tight (See
Figure 9-2). Make sure that tailpiece Y is
engaged into the horizontal cutout of the
inside thumbturn assembly.
I-4 nsert tailpiece X into the horizontal slot of
the combination change assembly, (pg.7, E). t
may be necessary to use a screwdriver to align
tailpiece X with the combination change
assembly (See Figure 9-2 and 9-3). Once
aligned, secure with two thru-bolts, but do not
tighten, (See Figure 9-4).
Note: The inside thumbturn is shown in a vertical
position to show the two thrubolts. t may be
assembled either vertically or horizontally.
I PORTANT: Tailpiece X must be inserted in the horizontal slot in order to
change your combination.
I-5 Make sure that assemblies A and B are correctly centered over the holes
(See Figure 9-4). Tighten the thru-bolts evenly. Uneven tension could
cause a malfunction of the lock.

J. CHECKING THE LOCK’S OPERATION
I PORTANT: The following steps MUST be performed while the door is open.
J-1 Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (counterclockwise) until it stops,
then release it.
J-2 Press the preset factory combination (2 and 4 pressed together, release,
then 3, and release). A distinctive click must be felt to indicate that the
buttons have been correctly depressed.
J-3 Turn the outside thumbturn to the right (clockwise) until it stops; the latch
should fully retract (See Figure 10-1). f the latch does not retract, turn
the thumbturn to the left (counterclockwise) until it stops. Release
it and repeat Step 2.
J-4 Release the outside thumbturn; the latch will
return to its fully extended position.
J-5 Turn the inside thumbturn A in either direction
until it stops; the latch will retract as in Step 3.
J-6 Release the inside thumbturn and the latch
will return to its initial fully extended position.
J-7 f the latch does not fully retract, loosen the two thru-bolts of the inside
thumbturn assembly. Move the inside thumbturn assembly upward or
downward to properly center the inside thumbturn assembly with
the tailpiece, (See Figure 10-2) then tighten the thru-bolts, and repeat
Steps 1 to 5.
J-8 f the latch (See Figure 10-2) still does not
fully retract after repeating Step 7, loosen the
two thru-bolts of the inside thumbturn assem-
bly A and combination change assembly B
(See Figure 10-2). Move the lock upward or
downward to properly align both tailpieces of
the inside thumbturn assembly and combina-
tion change assembly. Tighten the four thru-
bolts and repeat Steps 1 to 5 to ensure proper operation.

the two thru-bolts and push the combination change assembly B upward,
tighten the two thru-bolts, and repeat Steps 1 to 3.
K. INSTALLING THE STRIKE
K-1 Mark the vertical and horizontal center lines
of the strike on the door frame by using the
center line of the bolt. Make sure the vertical
and horizontal center lines are well aligned
with the latch bolt center lines.
K-2 Where the center lines meet, drill a 1⁄8" (2.5 mm) diameter by 5⁄8" (16 mm)
deep hole to guarantee that the latch will be completely extended in the
door jamb (See Figure 11-1).
K-3 Mortise (chisel out) the marked area to 1⁄16" (1.5 mm) deep so that the
strike will be flush with the door frame.
K-4 Secure the strike, (PG.7, F) with the two screws provided, (PG.7, H).
K-5 Close the door to ensure proper alignment of the latch with the strike
plate hole.
