If you are prepping the door for a standard
round deadbolt, leave at least 8" between the
center of deadbolt and center of UltraLatch®

If using any other type of deadbolt, measure
before placing hole to ensure that you have
enough clearance.

Determining Door Orientation
y
Before installing the Unirose/Chassis Assembly you must
determine if your door is a Right or Left hand door. This is
accomplished by noticing hinge location when facing the
Push side of the door. If the hinges are on the left, it's a left
hand door and if on the right, it's a right hand door. The
Important Notes
DO NOT use power tools to secure screws.
DO NOT remove lubrication from internal parts.
DO NOT remove linear cam shipping pin until told to do so.

position (as shown). Reinstall and tighten the screws at the
4 and 10 O'clock positions. If this is a 2" door installation
(L3) then you must also reinstall the Spacers between the
Chassis and Unirose at the 4 and 10 o'clock positions.

Important Note
The UltraLatch® requires a precisely located screw hole drilled perpendicular to the door face above the face hole. Follow instructions in 7 or 7a below to
locate this hole. We highly recommend the purchase of the optional UltraLatch® drill guide to ensure proper location of this hole.

Tighten screws slightly, check with torpedo level to ensure that Drill
Guides are level. If both sides are level, tighten screws and recheck for
level. Adjust if necessary. Drill first hole from the Push-Side of the door,
then go to the Pull-Side and drill until the holes meet.
If Latch Disassembly from Door is Required.
Remove Pull Side handle, cover and Unirose by removing the three
screws. Depress spring clip while gently pulling on the Push Side
Unirose to free bolt to allow removal. While removing assembly,
depress clip from Pull Side, depress rack slightly to allow clearance for
