Determine measurements on existing door and hardware.

• The "backset" is the distance from the door's edge to the center of the handle.
• 2 3/8" is fairly standard for this distance, but 2 3/4" is also commonly used.
• Most door handle holes are 2 1/8", while most deadbolt holes are 1 1/2".
• It's important to know these measurements in order to match new hardware.

Remove the existing hardware.

• Loosen and remove the screws holding the two halves of the handle together.
• Separate the two halves (they should separate easily).
• Loosen the two screws holding the latch and remove it.
• Remove the deadbolt by loosening the thumb-turn from the keyed cylinder.
• Remove the deadbolt latch in the same manner as the door handle latch.
• If the project involves installing a new door which has no holes, use the template which comes with the new hardware to drill a hole for the new lockset/hardware.

Install the new handle and deadbolt.

• First, install the new latch at the edge of the door and secure it with screws.
• Next, install the deadbolt latch the same way.
• Place the outside handle into position, making sure the thumb latch is inserted into the latch mechanism.
• On the inside of the door, align the mounting plate and start the two screws, which affix it to the outside handle.
• Attach the inside knob to the mounting plate and secure with screws.
• Check the operation of the latch to make sure it operates smoothly.
• If applicable, pre-drill a pilot hole for the bottom of the latch where indicated.
• Secure it into place with the screw provided.
• Install the two halves of the deadbolt in a similar manner and secure with screws.
