Instructions:
1. Remove Old Thumbturn and Release (If Replacing): a. Open the Door: Ensure the door is open and stable. b. Unscrew Old Thumbturn: On the interior side of the door, unscrew and remove the old thumbturn. c. Remove Exterior Release: On the exterior side of the door, unscrew and remove the old release mechanism.
2. Prepare the Door: a. Inspect the Existing Holes: Ensure that the holes in the door for the spindle and screws are compatible with the new thumbturn and release set. Typically, these holes are already in place if you are replacing an existing set. b. Check the Spindle: Make sure the spindle of the new thumbturn fits through the bathroom mortice lock. Adjust or replace the spindle if necessary.
3. Install the Thumbturn (Interior Side): a. Insert the Spindle: Slide the spindle through the mortice lock’s follower (the square hole in the lock mechanism) from the interior side of the door. b. Align the Thumbturn: Position the thumbturn on the interior side of the door, aligning it with the spindle. Ensure the thumbturn sits flush against the door surface. c. Secure the Thumbturn: Use the screws provided to attach the thumbturn to the door. Tighten the screws securely, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the door.
4. Install the Release Mechanism (Exterior Side): a. Align the Release: On the exterior side of the door, align the release mechanism with the spindle and the existing holes. b. Secure the Release: Attach the release mechanism to the door using the provided screws. Ensure it is securely fastened and properly aligned with the thumbturn on the interior side.
5. Test the Mechanism: a. Operate the Thumbturn: Turn the thumbturn on the interior side to ensure it engages the mortice lock’s privacy function, locking the door. b. Test the Release: From the exterior side, use the release mechanism to unlock the door. Ensure it functions correctly and releases the lock smoothly.
6. Final Checks: a. Check Alignment: Ensure the thumbturn and release are aligned and operate smoothly. b. Tighten Screws: Once satisfied with the operation, securely tighten all screws. c. Test Multiple Times: Open and close the door several times, testing the thumbturn and release mechanism to ensure everything works properly.
