Important Installation Notes

• The bore must be drilled very straight for proper function
• The latch should slide easily into the bore hole
• Do not tap into place as this may cause damage or breakage
• The 1" edge bore must extend past the 2-1/8" face bore
  • See alternate version if you need one that does not extend past the face bore

  • 28° downward rotation retracts the latch
