(push). Hinged on the right side.
B) Left Hand Door. Door opens inward
(push). Hinged on the left side.
C) Right Hand Reverse Door. Door opens
outward (pull). Hinged on the right side.

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.
