   pocket 10mm deep into the door.
4. Unscrew the jig from the door.
5. Using a chisel, remove the radiused corners from the pocket.

   depth of the door.
8. Screw the threaded bar through the plate and door into the lugs
   on the back of the second plate.

   carefully tighten up the screws.
10. Screw roses and handles onto the spindle, leaving a small gap
    between the rose and handle.
11. If there is a gap bigger than 1mm between the handle and rose,
    use the washer to fill the gap.

Handle Finalization:

13. Screw grub screws in, ensuring the handle is level and turns
    smoothly.
14. Ensure spindle is oriented so that the grub screw is screwed
    into the groove in the spindle.
15. Remove handles.
16. Apply thread lock to spindle, then re-install handle.
17. Replace grub screws with pre-applied thread lock. Re-install
    and wait for thread lock to set for 45 minutes.

   you may need to switch the mechanism on the back of the plates
   following these steps:

   the hinges. If not, proceed to step 2.
2. Unscrew the mechanisms from the back of the plates.
