DOOR CONDITIONS

HAND OF DOOR IS ALWAYS DETERMINED FROM THE OUTSIDE

Here are some rules to follow:

• The outside of an exterior door is the street or entrance side.

• The outside of a room is the hall side.

• The outside of a single communicating door is the side from which the hinges are not visible when the door is closed.

• The outside of a closet door is the room or hall side.

GENERAL NOTES

Paper template is designed for 1-3/4" thick doors. For extra thick doors, measure backset from center of door edge. Tape supplied template to the door to locate fastener pattern for lock and trim.

When installing hardware on metal or fiberglass doors, ensure the door was designed to accommodate mortise locks. If in doubt, check with your local door distributor or door manufacturer.

Removal of hardware from doors is recommended before painting and finishing of the door. Allow paint/stain to fully cure before reinstalling hardware, usually ten days to two weeks. Check paint manufacturer instructions.

Retain these instructions in a safe place should you need to disassemble the lock trim or require Baldwin's assistance.
