Making the Latch Face
5
Plate Cutout
This procedure is applicable to wood doors.
1) Insert the latch into the 1" (25 mm) hole
until the face plate butts up against the
door edge. Draw a line around the face
plate, figure 5-1, A. Remove the latch
from the door.
2) For doors without a beveled edge,
use a sharp 1" (25 mm) wood chisel to
remove approximately
material or enough so the face plate is
perfectly flush with the edge of the door,
figure 5-1, B.
3) For doors with a beveled edge, follow
Step 2 except the face plate will not be
flush with the edge of the door, but rather
square to the face of the door. In order to
accomplish this, you must remove more
wood from the higher edge of the door.
