The backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the spindle cam.

The spindle cam must sit straight (B3) and at the center of the bore hole to install

the lever. The two most common backset measurements are 2-3/8” (60 mm) or

2-3/4” (70 mm). To change the backset from 2-3/8” (60 mm) (B1) to 2-3/4” (70 mm)

(B2) pull the spindle cam away from the faceplate.

CARING FOR YOUR LOCK

Our locksets are polished and then protected with a coating to help prevent tarnishing. This protective coating has limitations and in time may deteriorate

from handling, cleaning or exposure to atmospheric conditions such as extreme climate, pollution and proximity to salt water, humidity and ultraviolet rays.

Eventual tarnishing is, therefore, not a defect, but a normal process which is unavoidable. With proper care, these products will last a long time.

To care for your lock, wash and clean only with water and polish with a soft, clean cloth.
