Installation of the latch:
1. Remove the set screw on the outside of the cast iron crank assembly with the 5/32” allen wrench
2. Turn the cast crank counterclockwise until it separates from the threaded latch shaft.
3. Push the latch shaft through the door and discard the original latch, washers, and coil spring.
4. Place two of the adjustment washers onto the new latch shaft (an extra washer is included in the kit).
5. Apply a small amount of high temp grease to the smooth area of the shaft.
6. Push the latch through the hole in the door and slide the 1” OD washer over the outside portion now sticking through the door.
7. Place the coil spring onto the latch on top of the 1” OD washer,
8. Thread the cast iron crank back onto the latch shaft until it is about 1/8” from the surface of the door. Line the hole in the crank up over the groove in the shaft and lock the pieces together by turning in the setscrew. The tab on the end of the setscrew will insert into the notched groove in the edge of the latch shaft. Tighten the assembly with the Allen wrench.
Installation of the wooden handle:
- Locate the set screw on the outer surface of the steel crank. Using the 5/32” Allen wrench, completely turn out the setscrew holding the original crank. While holding the latch with the pliers, rotate the outer steel crank until it disengages from the threaded portion of the latch.
- Reach down the center of the latch crank with the 3/16” Allen wrench, back out the 3/8” set screw to separate the wooden handle from the crank. Install the new wooden handle to the crank. Pay attention to the orientation in which the original handle was installed. If the wooden handle is installed backwards, it will point in the opposite direction.
- If the latch was removed from the door, count how many brass spacers were on the original latch. Be sure to use the same quantity when reassembling the latch.
- Thread the steel crank onto the latch shaft. Continue to turn until it bottoms out on the surface of the door. Now turn it back until it is approximately 1/8” from the surface of the door (3 turns).
