Fit the Handle 4 The next step is to fit the handle of the door facing the hinges. Ensure that snib faces an upward direction. Then, you need to attach the interior handle in the inside position and then fit the outdoor handle as well and tighten it with the screws.
Insert Lock Cylinder 5 Now is the time to insert the lock cylinder. First, ensure that the key is rotating properly. Don’t remove the key while pushing the cylinder in the body of your lock.
