pocket on both sides of the door.
Use a slow speed when drilling.
(You can also use a 3/4” brad
point bit on a wood door only.)
8. With the 3/4” hole saw still in
the drill, drill the 3/4” wire run
hole through the door. Drill half
way from both sides of the door.
Use a slow speed when drilling.
9. Drill the four 3/8” holes
located around the 3/4” spindle
hole. Drill to the mortise pocket
from both sides of the door
10. If your AD Mortise Lock is
equipped with a dead bolt function, drill the DB hole at this time.
NOTE: The factory template calls
for a 5/8” hole, a 3/8” hole will
work perfectly. Drill to mortise
pocket on inside of door only.
11. If installing a lock with a
door position switch, drill a 1/2”
diameter hole on the inside only.
Drill a little past center, this hole
will meet up with the angled hole
drilled in the next step.
12. Using a 5/16” diameter long
drill bit, drill to the DPS hole
drilled in the step above. When
drilling a deep hole, pull the bit
out when drilling to remove chips.
NOTE: Schlage template calls for
a 1/2” hole, a 5/16” hole works
perfectly and is easier to drill.
OMIT THIS STEP IF INSTALLING ON A STEEL DOOR.
