Measure and mark the desired position for the night latch on the inside face of the door. Ensure it is at a comfortable height and clear of any existing hardware. Mark the center point for the cylinder hole on the door face and the door edge. The backset for this model is 60mm, which is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the cylinder hole.
- Drill Cylinder Hole:
Using a 25mm (or appropriate size) drill bit, drill a hole through the door from the inside face to the outside face at the marked center point. Ensure the hole is straight and clean.
- Install Rim Cylinder:
Insert the rim cylinder into the drilled hole from the outside of the door. Place the escutcheon ring over the cylinder on the outside. On the inside, align the cylinder's tailpiece with the slot on the main latch body. Secure the cylinder to the latch body using the provided through-bolts, ensuring they pass through the latch body and screw into the cylinder.

Position the main latch body on the inside of the door, aligning it with the cylinder. Mark the screw holes. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws. Secure the latch body to the door using the provided wood screws.

Close the door and mark the position where the latch bolt meets the door frame. Position the strike plate on the door frame so that the latch bolt can smoothly enter the opening when the door is closed. Mark the screw holes. Drill pilot holes and secure the strike plate with the provided screws. For a flush fit, you may need to mortise (chisel out) a shallow recess for the strike plate.
