4. Kurulum
The N262-196 V1320 Lever Latch is designed for easy installation on wood or metal screen and storm doors with 1-3/4 inch hole spacing. It fits doors ranging from 3/4 inch to 2 inches thick.
- Kapıyı Hazırlayın: Ensure your door has the standard 1-3/4 inch hole spacing. If replacing an old latch, remove it and clean the area.
- Install the Latch Body: Position the main lever latch assembly on the door, aligning the spindle and screw holes. Secure it with the provided mounting screws.
- Cut the Drive Spindle: The square drive spindle connects the interior and exterior handles. You may need to cut the longer spindle to the appropriate length for your door's thickness. Refer to the included instructions for precise measurements. A hacksaw may be required for this step.
- Çarpma Plakasını Takın: Attach the spring-loaded strike plate to the door jamb. Use the provided plastic spacers to adjust the strike plate's depth, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation with the latch. The two raised dots on the spacers help prevent slipping. If existing screw holes do not align, you may need to drill new pilot holes.
