Entry Lock Choices
There are many choices to choose from in regards to keyed entry door lever locks. Some are better than others. The choice ultimately is yours. Some things to consider before purchasing the keyed entry door lever are to decide if you need a lever that opens on the left or right. This is a very important step to find out because the lock will not function correct if you choose the wrong keyed door lever. Stay with known name brands like Quickset, Master, or Forsyth. These brands have been around a long time and have a good warranty and usability report to go along with their fine products.
How To Install The Keyed Entry Door Lever The Easy Way
Unpack the new lock and make sure all pieces are present. Remove both strike plate screws from the packaging and also remove the strike plate for the door frame. Line strike plate up with existing precut hole and install both screws supplied with your number 2 screwdriver. Make sure the strike plate is aligned with the curved edge facing the closing door. This is very important. The finished installed plate must be flush with door frame if not remove as much material with your hammer and chisel to facilitate this result. You’re done with that step. Your next step is taking the locking handle part of the lock and inserting this into the pre-drilled hole. Make sure the keyed lock handle faces the entrance from where you want to lock the door. Next pick up the other lock end with the lever and no lock slide.
Slide lock mechanism and striker into 1 inch hole on the door. The two halves of the lock and handle will go through this piece in the larger holes made for them. Secure the striker too the door with the 2 screws provided. Make sure that the mechanism on the lock is flush with the side of the door. If not, remove enough material with your chisel and hammer to facilitate this. Slide both pieces of the handle and keyed half together sandwiching the door and the lock striker mechanism in the middle between them. Install both screws to secure both halves together with your number 2 screwdriver. Insert key and make sure lock works and turns freely. Without closing door! If all is well close door and try the locks features.
