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 placement of hole pattern 
of lock and trim. ** Paper template is located on the low side 
of the bevel on the door. 
 
When installing hardware on metal doors, ensure the door was 
designed to accommodate tubular 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 finishing materials 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 Hardware 
Corporation's assistance.
