- Prepare the door stile by drilling required holes and routing as specified in manufacturer instructions, taking care to maintain structural integrity of the narrow stile.
- Install the deadlock case and secure with provided mounting screws per manufacturer torque specifications, selecting appropriate hub slot position based on available turn clearance.
- Adjust bolt projection using the exposed adjustment screw to achieve proper alignment with jamb strike, utilizing the full 3/16" adjustment range as needed to compensate for misalignment.
