STEP 1 (Disassembly)
Snap the Assist Clip 4 in place over the edge of the door and over the lock area as shown in diagram 1 to hold lock assembly together during disassembly & reassembly. Carefully remove the original 2 screws (ref. “A” on Diagram 1) from the inside on the door lock unit. These 2 screws will not be used for reassembly, please discard. Note if you have an existing interior handle, take care when removing screws so not to drop, and cause damage to it. The existing inside portion of the lock remains in the door and is not to be removed during the handle installation.
STEP 2
Remove the Assist Clip 4 from the door temporarily. Remove the existing outside recessed handle from door (ref. “B” on Diagram 2). This part will not be used for reassembly, please discard.
STEP 3
Apply your new Handle-Man Handle Assembly (ref. item 5 in Diagram 3) to the outside of the door and position flush in the door cutout and re-apply Assist Clip 4 back on the door for the final assembly step.
STEP 4 (Final Assembly)
With the Assist Clip 4 holding the inside half of lock and new outside Handle Assembly 5 in place (apply interior handle also if included in reassembly, reference Diagram 4 for positioning), and begin applying mounting screws. Note, various screw lengths are provided in kit due to variations in door thicknesses.
VERT IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE INTSTRUCTIONS!
Start with the #1 medium length (1-1/8″) screws and tighten to secure assembly. IMPORTANT, if screws are tightened, but assembly appears to still feel loose replace the #1 screws with #2 screws the shorter length (1″). BUT if #1 screw seems short with little thread engagement (appearing not long enough) replace with #3 Longer Length (1-1/4″) screws and tighten to secure assembly. Congratulation your new handle assembly is completed. Remove & Discard Assist Clip and enjoy your new handles!
ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW SCREW SELECTION CLOSELY WHEN REASSEMBLING!
