Installing a doorknob with a locking mechanism ↑
First, at the end of the door bottom is 1,0 meter and is done by means of a square, the horizontal line. The mechanism is applied parallel to the side edges so that the upper hole was the fault line drawn. It is noted the upper and lower edges of the mechanism, and also the mark on the upper edge of the strap.
The holes in the side edges of drilled pen drill 16. Not to bury too much, the pen drill is applied to the mechanism and marker on the drill bit is marked 1 mm more is needed for the installation depth. Drill to this depth. The markings next to scarletdoherty, their edges are cut neatly with a chisel, then drill put the drill bit 16 and aligned the resulting oval hole for lock.
The aperture fits a lock mechanism and aligned in the height and in the centre and fixed with two small screws. Strap lock with a sharp knife to cut through the veneer, and then unscrewed the screws and removed the mechanism. For the contour strips required to choose a court on the thickness of the strap lock to the strap was at the same level with the side edges of the door. The sample is made with the chisel. More convenient to use the mill, but not in every house. Begin to choose a wide chisel, up to medium or narrow.
After this it is necessary to drill holes under the handle and under the latch (this is at the locks for the bathrooms). This lock mechanism is applied on both sides of the canvas, aligned to the size of the selected site and in the holes made with an awl mark. The holes are made on both sides towards each other, they need not be continuous. After the holes are ready, removed the chip and starts the installation of the handles.
The key that is in the bag with the screws before installing the handles loosened the screws to the Central pin, which handles dress up, was able to walk freely. The pin is inserted into the hole, it dress up the two knobs, the position should be horizontal, and then screws the handle attached to the door leaf. When the handles are secured with screws, using the key, tighten the screws at the bottom of the handles. When tightened the screws, pressing with one hand on the door handle, you pull out on the other side of the screws. The last operation in the installation of handles fixing the linings. Pads square shape should be aligned horizontally by means of a square.
Latch installed and first recorded with the key screw. This requires that the pins were at a sufficient distance from the outer side of the door and has not moved when tightening the screws. Completes this phase of the screwing of the fastener.
It remains to cut the pad under the counterpart in the door frame. For that, the door closed down (not through!), the top and bottom of the latch bolt is marked on the box. Using a square held two horizontal lines. Using again the angle is determined by the distance from the edge of the canvas to the center of the strap lock (are the centers of the holes for the screws), after which it is transferred to the box. The two points connect with a line to indicate the location for drilling holes.
After drilling and clearing the hole with a chisel checked, as the tongue comes in «otvetku». If all goes well, the return strap is installed on the box. In the presence of backlash screwdriver pressed the tongue in «answer».
