Instruccions de configuració i funcionament
Follow these steps to properly install a door lock using the TOLSEN kit:
Step 1: Prepare the Door and Position the Guide
Ensure the door is securely held in place. The adjustable positioning frame accommodates door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inches (35mm) to 1-3/4 inches (45mm). Place the yellow positioning frame on the edge of the door where the lock will be installed. Align it to the desired height for the lockset.

Use screws to firmly attach the positioning frame to the door. This prevents movement during drilling and ensures accurate hole placement.
Step 2: Drill the Main Lock Body Hole
Attach the 2-1/8 inch (54mm) hole saw to the arbor, then secure the arbor into your drill. Insert the hole saw into the larger opening of the positioning frame on the face of the door.

Begin drilling at a moderate speed, applying steady pressure. Allow the hole saw to cut through the wood. Drill from both sides of the door to prevent splintering and achieve a clean cut.
Step 3: Drill the Latch Bolt Hole
Remove the 2-1/8 inch hole saw and attach the 1 inch (25mm) hole saw to the arbor. Insert this smaller hole saw into the opening on the edge of the door, guided by the positioning frame.
