Installation Steps
Learn how to install our high quality push-pull iron door handles with this guide.
Drill Driver
Utility Knife
Painter’s Tape
5/16″ Drill bit
Top bore hole is for the deadbolt installation
Â
Bottom borehole is for the upper handle installation
Â
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
Â
This is important to add some rigidity to the doors while you are drilling the handle holes
Â
***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***
Â
Mark the female portion of the bolt studs on the lower part of the handle with the paint.
Â
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
Â
Place the handle with the screw holes on the inside of the door fastening the screws to the outer handle
Â
***Do not overtighten***
