Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the Pella Polished Brass Storm Door Outside Handle:

3. Verify that the interior lever will not interfere with your entry door. Adjust the template up or down as necessary to ensure proper clearance.
4. Centerpunch and drill the 5/16" holes according to the template.
5. Determine the appropriate xxxx and spindle lengths based on the thickness of your door.
6. Rotate the lever for either a left or right hinge installation and insert the spindle into the lever.
7. Assemble the components onto the door and secure the two lower screws as indicated in the provided chart.
8. Drill the top hole 3/8" deep using a 3/32" drill bit. Be careful not to drill through the door.
