Set the overlay panel on the door front, align the edges, and clamp together. Clamp the panel firmly but be careful not to damage the door or the panel. Mark center of hinge adapter hole on wood panel, top and bottom. (See Figure 10.) Remove wood panel from door and drill 5/16” (8mm) diameter clearance holes into the overlay panels 3/4” (20mm) deep. These will be clearance holes for the top and bottom hinge pins.

Step 7: Mark and drill lock hole (if required)
Locate and mark with a pencil the location of the lock hole on the overlay panel, this is the hole in the top corner of the handle side of the door. Remove the clamp and remove the overlay panel from the door. On the backside of the panel where you marked the lock location drill a 13/16” (20.5mm) diameter counter bore 7/16” (11.0mm) deep into the overlay panel. Drill a 15/32” (12.0mm) diameter hole through the overlay panel cen- tered on the counter bore being careful not to splinter the wood on the face side of the panel. (See Figure 11).
Step 8: Assemble the lock parts (if required)
Two (2) lock extensions are supplied with the lock. Use the lon- ger extension for a 3/4” thick overlay panel and the shorter one for a 5/8” thick panel. Assemble the lock extension, cam stop washer, spring washer, and set screw to the lock as shown in Figure 11 and 12. Install this assembly into the overlay panel and secure with the retaining nut using a 15mm socket. Make sure the key slot in the lock is vertical.
