Push-Pull Iron Door Handle Installation Instructions

Tools Needed for Basic Push-Pull Handle and Deadbolt Installation:

Drill Driver

Utility Knife

Painter’s Tape

5/16″ Drill bit

Top bore hole is for the deadbolt installation

Bottom borehole is for the upper handle installation

You will need to drill holes for the lower handle installation

Adjust the backset on the deadbolt to fit your door by twisting the sleeve of the bolt hub

Install the deadbolt in the top bore hole and secure with faceplate and screws

Install the blank faceplate with screws in the bottom bore hole

Install the remainder of the deadbolt on the top bore hole

This is important to add some rigidity to the doors while you are drilling the handle holes

***Do not overtighten***

Determine the installation position of the handle set by placing it so it covers the entire bore hole but does not interfere with the deadbolt

Using painter’s tape, mask the area where the bottom screw holes of the handle will rest

Be sure to mask both sides of the door

***We used spray paint but you can use whatever paint you have available***

Mark the female portion of the bolt studs on the lower part of the handle with the paint.

You will transfer the mark to the painter’s tape for drilling reference

Transfer the drill reference marks to both sides of the door

Make sure you lift up on the handle enough to cover the lower borehole but not so much as to interfere with the deadbolt

Drill a level hole through the door making sure your exit is at the rear marks

Place the flush handle (no screw holes) on the outside of the door with the female bolt studs going through the drilled holes

Place the handle with the screw holes on the inside of the door fastening the screws to the outer handle

***Do not overtighten***
