Step 3
Prepare the new lock assembly.

  • First, remove the cylinder lock from the outside pull handle.
  • Now, using pliers, break off the tailpiece making sure that it’s the same exact length as your old tailpiece.
  • Replace the new cylinder lock on the outside pull.
  • This step is important; the leg of the cylinder lock must be in the upward position when replacing the unit, as illustrated above.
  • Before installing the assembly, make sure that the hole in the door is large enough to accept the base of the key lock and either drill or file the door to the appropriate size if necessary.
