Certainly! Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install the EMTEK 8161NW Privacy xxxx or Lever:

1. Door Prep:
- Ensure that the door is properly prepared for installation. This may include drilling a bore hole for the xxxx or lever and preparing the door jamb for the strike plate.

2. Door Jamb Prep:
- Make sure the door jamb is properly prepared to accommodate the strike plate. This may involve chiseling out a recess for the strike plate.

3. Install Strike Plate:
- Attach the strike plate to the door jamb using the provided screws. Ensure that it is aligned properly with the latch.

4. Install Latch:
- Insert the latch into the edge of the door, making sure it is properly aligned with the strike plate. Secure it in place using the provided screws.

5. Install Outside and Inside Trims:
- Step 1: Position the outside trim through the bore hole on the exterior side of the door.
- Step 2: Fasten the inside trim to the interior side of the door using two #8 machine screws provided.
- Step 3: Install the Privacy Pin, which is used to lock the xxxx or lever from the inside.

Dummy Installation:
- If you have a dummy xxxx or lever, the installation process is similar. However, since dummy knobs or levers do not have a latch or strike plate, you can skip those steps. Simply follow the steps for installing the outside and inside trims.
