Step 2: Use a lockset installation guide to position the lockset holes
The lockset installation guide can be adjusted to fit the backset of the lockset you are installing. The backset distance is usually listed on the package. Position the locket installation tool on the edge of the door and match it to your markings and measurements. Using the screws that came with your lockset, attach it to the edge of the door so it can serve as a guide for cutting the holes for the lockset and latch.
Attach the lockset installation guide to the edge of the door following the markings for the striker opening and backset distance.
