1” Edge
Hole
21/8” Face Hole
Use 1” hole saw to drill door edge
2"deep. Hole must be drilled
parallel to the door face
and level.
It is very important that the bolt assembly is flush
in the mortise. If the door is beveled, ensure that
the bolt assembly is flush with the low
side of the bevel. The barrel of the bolt
must be parallel to the door face and
perpendicular to door edge. Trace with
pencil or utility knife to outline mortise.
Mortise edge of door to accept bolt assembly
and face plate.
Insert latch and tighten screws.
Drill door jamb using 1” hole saw 9/16" deep in door jamb on center line
of screws.
Locate screw holes on strike with
center line on jamb. Outline edges
and chisel 5/64" for A01 (ANSI) strike
plate and 1/16" deep for A02 and A03.
Predrill 11/64" pilot holes for A01 (ANSI)
or 1/8" pilot holes for A02 or A03
strike plates.
Install strike plate and
tighten screws.
Adjustable tang on A03 strike
plate permits bending to
eliminate loose fit between
door and stop.

Door Preparation
For new slab door, start at
least 36" above floor.
Fold and apply template to
high side of door bevel.
Ensure that template is level
and square.
Mark center hole on door face
through guide on template
for 23/8" or 23/4" backset.
Repeat on door edge for latch.
With template in place, transfer center line to door jamb.
UltraLatch® units are packed to a specific backset (23/8" or 23/4")
depending upon door thickness. Normally If your door is 13/8"
thick, you will have a 23/8" backset; if your door is 13/4" or thicker,
the backset is 23/4".
To determine position for strike plate,
ensure that center of hole is level with
center of 21/8" face hole on door.
To measure, insert end of
template against flat of latch
bolt and close door against stop.
Mark template from edge of jamb
and transfer lines around face of
jamb to locate strike opening.
Mark center line for screws and
1" hole, using dimensions shown
on chart at right.
Drill 21/8" hole through door face
as marked for lockset. Hole must
be drilled perpendicular to the door
face and level. Drill the 21/8" hole
first. To avoid splintering, stop when
pilot bit starts to exit opposite side.
Reverse drill to remove and
repeat on opposite side using
pilot hole as a guide.

Important Notes
If you are prepping the door for a standard
round deadbolt, leave at least 8" between the
center of deadbolt and center of UltraLatch®
bolt to allow clearance for UltraLatch® handles.
If using any other type of deadbolt, measure
before placing hole to ensure that you have
enough clearance.

Determining Door Orientation
BeforeinstallingtheUnirose/ChassisAssemblyyoumust
determine if your door is a Right or Left hand door. This is
accomplished by noticing hinge location when facing the
Push side of the door. If the hinges are on the left, it's a left
hand door and if on the right, it's a right hand door. The
assembly is set at the factory for a left hand door.
Set Up for a Right Hand Door
