03 Trim Preparation
This section applies only to the 03A function. The cylinder tailpiece must be cut to the correct length based on the door thickness:
- 1-3/4" and 2" Thick Doors: Use the standard tailpiece.
- 2-1/4" Thick Doors: Use the appropriate tailpiece for this thickness.
Ensure the tailpiece is cut to 1-1/16" (Min) to 1-1/8" (Max) length. Assemble the tailpiece to the cylinder before installing the trim unit on the door.
Door Preparation
Follow these steps to prepare the door for installation:
- Interior Prep: Mark the center hole for the 03 function and mark the mounting plate holes. Use a center punch to mark the holes.
- Drilling: Drill pilot holes through the door. For the 03 function, drill a 3/8" hole through the door.
- Interior Face: For the 03 function only, drill a 3/4" hole through the interior door face.
- Exterior Prep: Mark 1/4" up from the center mark. For the 03 function only, drill a 1-1/2" hole through the exterior door face only.
Installing the Trim
- Mark the bottom hole for the thru-bolt. For 01 trims, measure from the device centerline.
- Drill a 3/8" hole once marked.
- Fasten the top of the pull to the trim plate using the provided screw.
- Position the trim unit onto the exterior door face. Ensure the tailpiece is vertical.
- For the 03 function, ensure the cam engages with the tailpiece on the mounting plate.
- Fasten the mounting plate to the pullplate.
- Fasten the bottom of the pull with the PFH screw, ensuring the finished washer is used.

Common problems
Trim does not sit flush or mechanism binds
Ensure all holes were drilled straight and level. Re-check alignment of the mounting plate.
Tailpiece is too long or too short
Verify door thickness. Use the correct tailpiece for 1-3/4"/2" doors or 2-1/4" doors, and ensure it is cut to the specified 1-1/16" to 1-1/8" range.
Before use
- Verify door thickness (1-3/4", 2", or 2-1/4").
- Ensure you have the correct trim function (03A, 02A, or 01A).
- Gather all required tools: Power drill, pencil, hammer, safety glasses, tape measure, center punch, screwdriver.
- Confirm the device centerline for 01 trim installation.
