Once the bolt is in place, you can install your cylinder, cylinder ring and cover plate on the exterior side of the door (in that order). The video above shows exactly how this is done. Do this by twisting the latch and releasing it to a longer length. If you latch does not line up with your new handles or knobs, you must adjust the length. Latches come with two standard settings: a 2 3/4″ or 2 3/8″ setback from the edge of the door. Start by placing your latch into the hole for your new handles, and make sure that your handles line up with the latch. With the handles removed, you can then take out your bolt from the deadbolt hole and your latch from the door knob holes. Once those are removed you can just slide them off the exterior side. Use a screwdriver or drill to remove the knobs and deadbolt face from the interior of your doors. Install the inactive deadbolt if desired (we didn’t).Install your deadbolt on the active door (the functional lock).Open up hardware boxes and unwrap materials.Remove the old hardware (knobs, deadbolts, etc).
