- Drill holes for the latch
Locate and drill holes in the door from the outside edges using the dimensions provided in the installation guide. Ensure that you do not drill holes for rod guides.
- Install the handle gasket
Place the nylon washers and handle gasket on the outside of the door to ensure proper sealing. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the latch.
