INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

TOOLS NEEDED

CAUTION: Use of manual tools recommended. When using power tools, adjust to lowest torque setting.

REPLACING AN EXISTING LOCK

(NO DOOR PREPARATION NECESSARY)

1. CHOOSE YOUR LATCH TYPE
   To change the latch from a drive-in latch to a faceplate latch, remove the sleeve using a screwdriver (A1), attach selected faceplate to backplate (A2) and fasten to latch.

2. ADJUST THE BACKSEAT
   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.

3. INSTALL LATCH
   A. Drive-in Latch: Insert latch into the door edge and tap it into place using a wood block (not included) until it is flush with the door edge. B. Faceplate Latch: Secure to the door edge using latch screws (BB). If it does not sit flush with the door edge, mark an outline using the faceplate and chisel 1/8” (3 mm) deep or until the faceplate is flush.

4. INSTALL STRIKE PLATE

   • A. Secure the strike plate to the door jamb using wood strike screws (BB).
   • B. If there is no hole for the latch bolt, mark a centerline on the door jamb that aligns with the centerline of the door latch. Drill one 1” (25 mm) hole 5/8” (16 mm) deep.
   • C. Use the strike plate to make an outline on the door jamb and chisel 1/8” (3 mm) deep until it sits flush.
   • D. Drill two 1/8” (3 mm) drill holes and secure the strike plate to the door jamb.

5. INSTALL LOCKSET

   • A. Remove the interior lever from the lock mechanism by loosening the set screw with the Allen Key (CC). Remove the interior rose by twisting and pulling it off the interior lock mechanism.

   • B. Install exterior lock assembly inserting square spindle and posts through latch.
     Note : For privacy functions, the emergency release hole can be positioned either above or below the lever.

   • C. Attach the interior lock assembly to the exterior assembly using the mounting screws (AA). Note: For privacy functions, ensure the lock button aligns with the emergency release hole on the exterior side.

   • D. Re-attach interior rose to lock mechanism.

   • E. Re-attach interior lever with the set screw (DD) using the Allen Key (CC).

   • Note: To ensure correct alignment of the lever, tighten the mounting screws on the interior lock mechanism while holding the exterior lever upwards.

DOOR PREPARATION TEMPLATE

IMPORTANT: Print template to scale if not factory-supplied instructions.

NOTE: For beveled doors, apply a template to pull the side of the door

NEW DOOR PREPARATION

1. USE THE TEMPLATE PROVIDED TO MARK CENTER HOLES ON THE DOOR
   • A. Stand so the door swings towards you. Fold the template over the door edge approximately 36” (914 mm) from the floor.
   • B. Make a center mark for a 1” (25 mm) hole on the door edge and a center mark for a 2-1/8” (54 mm) hole on the door surface.
   • C. Drill the 2-1/8” (54 mm) door surface hole. Drill the 1” (25 mm) hole to meet surface hole.
   • Note: Drill surface hole from both sides to reduce risk of wood splitting.

See other side for lock installation instructions.

CHANGE LEVER HANDING

• A. Remove the set screw on the side of the lever using the Allen Key.
• B. Swap levers. Align the hole on the lever with the catch hole on the rose and press until secure. Reinstall the set screw. Tighten using the long leg of the Allen Key

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.

Taymor Industries Ltd. will replace any Taymor Premier series lock which fails to meet this warranty. Any finish deterioration occurring from use of paints, solvents or other chemicals is not a defect and therefore is not covered by this warranty. Taymor Industries Ltd. is not liable for incidental or consequential damages.
