This document provides instructions for installing the latch extension assembly on Sargent 10 Line and 10X Line Bored Locks. It is compatible with 3-3/4" and 5" backsets. Proper orientation of the yoke assembly is critical for the lock to function correctly.
Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble the latch extension:


- Insert Yoke Assembly: Place the yoke assembly into the extension housing. Ensure the yoke fork "A" faces the seam and cutaway "B". This specific orientation is required for proper operation.

Testing and Verification
After installation, verify the deadlocking function:

- Press and hold the guardbolt.
- The latchbolt must be blocked and unable to move when pressed.
