the intended lock.
Mortise the pocket in the door 1/8" deeper
than the lock being installed. Refer to the
Installation Template Guide Chart (blue

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.
