No wiring here — just careful measuring, drilling, and mounting. Mortice locks take a bit more patience than a simple knob.

Before you begin

• Mounting — surface installation on doors, drawers, or cabinetry; check your product's dimensions for placement and drilling points

What you'll need

• Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead), drill and drill bits, Allen key
• Tape measure, pencil, level
• Chisel (for mortice lock installation)
• Screws and anchors, safety goggles

Step by step

1. Cabinet hardware — mark drilling points — use a tape measure and pencil; a template helps for uniformity across multiple pieces.
2. Cabinet hardware — drill holes — use a bit matched to the screw diameter, keeping the drill straight.
3. Cabinet hardware — mount — insert screws from inside the cabinet or drawer, secure the hardware on the front face, and tighten without overtightening.
4. Cabinet hardware — align and inspect — confirm straightness and spacing before fully securing.
5. Thumb lock or dummy handle — confirm orientation — determine left- or right-hand door swing and adjust as needed.
6. Thumb lock or dummy handle — mark installation height — typically 36–38 inches from the floor to the handle center; align the mounting plate.
7. Thumb lock or dummy handle — drill and attach — drill pilot holes and secure the backplate and handle with the included screws. Dummy handles install directly, no latch mechanism.
8. Thumb lock only — install the strike plate — mark the latch location on the door frame, chisel a recess if needed, and screw the strike plate in.
9. Mortice lock — cut the mortice pocket — use a chisel and drill to create a cavity in the door edge, following the provided measurements.
10. Mortice lock — insert the lock body — fit it into the cavity and attach through the faceplate with screws.
11. Mortice lock — install the handle — align the spindle through the lock, attach handles on both sides, and tighten with a screwdriver or Allen key.
12. Mortice lock — install the cylinder (if applicable) — insert the key cylinder and secure with the cylinder screw from the door edge.
13. Mortice lock — mount the strike plate — align with the latch mechanism and secure to the door frame.

Good to know

• Double-check measurements before drilling.
• Use a level for consistent alignment across multiple units.
• If you're unfamiliar with mortice installation, consult a locksmith or professional.
• Make sure all moving parts operate smoothly before final tightening.
• Dummy handles are decorative or pull-only — they don't engage latches or locks.
