Section 3
Installation (Retrot)
This section details installation steps needed if you are installing the TL116 on a door with a single cutout already
made. Replacing an older xture with a newer one is known as a retrot. If your door has never had a lock or doorknob
installed or otherwise has no cutout, please skip to Section 4.
• For easier installation, have another person help to hold the lock.
• Remove all parts of any old lock before installing the TL116. In some cases, the old strike plate and/or box may be used.
• For your convenience, installation instructions are broken into segments. Read and follow the instructions for both Pre-
Installation and Main Installation.
• If your door happens to have two cut-outs, check the clearance between the two. Make sure there is enough distance so that
you may seal o󰀨 any extra openings.

Section 4
Installation (New)
This section details installation steps needed if you are installing the TL116 on a door
without a cutout. If you are using the TL116 to replace an old lock or if your door otherwise
already has a cutout, please go back to Section 3.
• For easier installation, have another person help to hold the lock.
• For your convenience, installation instructions are broken into segments. Read and follow the
instructions for both Pre-Installation and Main Installation.
4.1 Pre-Installation
Part 1 - Making the Opening
Step 1. Using the provided template, mark the locations for the centers of the backset and the latch
hole (Fig. 12).
Step 2. Bore a 54mm (about 2” or 2 1/8”) hole on door face, then drill a 25mm (about 1”) hole into the
edge of the door so that it intersects with the larger hole (Fig. 13).
• When drilling the 54mm (about 2” or 2 1/8”) hole, it’s recommended to drill from both sides of door to stop the wood from
splintering.
• It may be easier to drill the 54mm hole with a hole saw bit (not included).
• It may be easier to drill the 25mm hole with a hole saw bit (not included) or a 7/8” spade bit (not included). If using a spade bit,
do not drill at high speeds as this may tear out too much wood and/or damage the door.

Part 2 - Disassemble the Lock
The lock is pre-assembled upon arrival. Before installation, loosen the wood
screws and mounting screws to separate the lock into four main parts:
Outside Assembly x 1
Inside Assembly x 1
Latch Assembly x 1
Plate x 1
Part 3 - Installing the Latch
Step 1. Check the
UP
icon on the latch and insert the latch into the hole. Using
a pencil, mark a line around edge of latch plate to use as a guide. After
marking at all four sides of the plate, remove the latch (Fig. 14).
Step 2. Chisel about 3mm (0.1”) deep or until latch plate sits ush with door edge
(Fig. 15).
During chiseling, it’s highly recommended to stop and reinsert the latch every
once in a while to see if it sits ush. If not, chisel a little more and check again.
Be careful not to chisel too deep; otherwise, the lock may not function correctly after installation.

Step 3. Insert the latch into the hole and check it. The latch’s plate should sit ush against the edge of the door (Fig. 3). If there’s
too much space behind the latch, or if it’s sticking out of the door, the latch should be adjusted. If the latch needs adjusted,
move to Step 4; otherwise, skip to Step 5.
Step 4. Hold the front of the latch and the square opening from both sides, pull or push to extend or
retract the latch end as needed (Fig. 4). Insert the latch back into the door.
Step 5. Check the latch’s bolt and make sure the rounded side faces in. Use the 2x Wood Screws
and a screwdriver (not included) to secure them (Fig. 5).
Part 4 - Creating a Mortise & Installing the Strike
Step 1. Push the door until nearly closed and check where the latch’s bolt touches the frame.
Step 2. Use a pencil to mark the horizontal center of the latch on the door frame (Fig. 16).
Step 3. Open the door again and extend the line over the edge of the door and inside the frame.
Step 4. Measure the inside of the frame. Determine and mark the halfway point. From this point,
use a ruler to draw a line straight down so that it intersects the existing line (Fig. 17).
Step 5. Use a 7/8” (22.2mm) spade bit and a drill to make two partially overlapping holes about 0.6”
(15mm) deep centered both above and below the center line. If needed, use the chisel to
make the hollow (aka “mortise”) more square. If you choose to use the strike box, you may
need to chisel slightly deeper (Fig. 18).
If using a spade bit, do not drill at high speeds as this may tear out extra wood and/or
damage the door or doorframe.

TURBOLOCK TL116 15
Step 6. Hold the strike plate over the mortise. Using a pencil, mark a line around the
edges of plate to use as a guide. After marking at the straight edges of the plate,
remove the plate.
Step 7. Chisel about 1.5mm deep or until strike plate sits ush with door frame.
• If you choose to use the strike box, you may need to chisel slightly deeper.
• During chiseling, it’s highly recommended to stop and check to see if the strike
plate sits ush in the doorframe over the strike box. If not, chisel a little more and
check again.
Be careful not to chisel too deep; otherwise, the lock may not function correctly after installation.
Step 8. Position the strike and strike box, then use a pencil to mark the center points of the screw openings in the strike plate. Set
the strike and strike box aside and drill two small holes at each center point.
Step 9. Position the strike and strike box. Add the two remaining Wood Screws and use a screwdriver (not included) to secure them
(Fig. 19).
