Install Considerations

• Strikes were rarely used with full mortise locks. Typically wood is notched to accept bolt. However if preferred a generic #4521 strike is available separately.
• When using on doors: use on right and left hand doors. Place lock to account for keyhole location.
• When using on drawers: Keyholes are off-center requiring lock to be positioned accordingly.
• Lock fits into cut out pocket in top-edge of drawer or side-edge off door. Once installed only brass selvedge and keyhole are exposed.
