Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the Pella Polished Brass Storm Door Outside Handle:
1. If you are replacing an existing lever, you can reuse the holes from your previous lever. If needed, you may have to drill new holes.
2. Cut out the template provided in the instruction manual. Fold and tape it onto the door edge, approximately 39-1/2" up from the bottom of the door.
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.
9. Secure the lever with the upper xxxx .
10. Close the door and position the strike plate to make contact with both the latch and slide bolts.
11. Mark the centers of the slotted holes on the strike plate and predrill them using a 3/32" drill bit.
12. Secure the strike plate with two screws.
Note: Shims are included in the package if necessary to build out the strike plate.
