Hardware checklist

 Outside housing: This is the "exterior" portion of your hardware with the spindle extending from the back.
 

 Inside housing: This is the "interior" portion of your knob or lever. For privacy knobs and levers, you'll want to be sure the push-button lock is on the inside.
 

 Latch: The spring operated bolt with a beveled face to permit a latching action when the door closes.
 

 Round drive-in faceplate: This is an optional faceplate that may replace the rectangular faceplate already attached to the latch if your door calls for it.
 

 Strike plate: The strike plate is the metal plate that will be affixed to the door frame.
 

 Short screws: These will be used to secure the bolt and faceplate with the door.
 

 Tapered long screws: These will be used to secure the inside housing to the outside housing.
 

 Pin tool: This will only be used for curved levers that may need to change handing.

Installation instructions

*If you need to replace the rectangular faceplate with the round drive-in faceplate, follow steps a-c below before going further. You'll also need to add a flat head screwdriver, hammer and block of wood to your tool set.

a. Remove faceplate with a flat head screwdriver

b. Twist and remove remaining support plate

c. Install round drive-in faceplate with just a snap
 

For the drive-in faceplate, slide into place with the bevel facing the doorjamb and gently tap in to place, flush with the door edge using a block of wood to protect the latch.

4Begin installing the lever or knob by placing the outside housing first. If you're installing a lever, you'll want to make sure the lever is pointing away from the door edge.
