The keeper should be the first part of the rim lock that you install. The rim lock keeper should be affixed directly into the door jamb.
Position the keeper at an appropriate height.
Place the rim lock keeper on the door jamb and mark the screw holes with a pencil. (This helps you screw in the keeper accurately.)
After this has been done, use a screwdriver to screw in the keeper so that is attached directly to the door jamb.
Once the keeper is in place, use it to align the position of the lock body. (The lock body will be adjacent to the keeper.)
Since rim locks are bi-directional, verify that the latch is in the appropriate direction before you begin mounting the rim lock body.
If the latch is not facing the proper direction, open up the rim lock body and flip the latch over. (The latch will be attached to a small node holding it in place.)
Remove the latch.
Turn it over.
Reattach it to the node.
Close the rim lock body.
Once the lock body and the keeper are aligned, mark the positions of the screw holes and the position of the doorknob spindle, as well as the keyway. (Use a pencil to make the necessary markings.)
Drill the holes for the spindle and the keyway.
After the holes have been drilled, you can begin screwing in the lock body to the door.
With the lock body appropriately screwed in, attach the doorknob and its spindle.
Insert the doorknob into the lock body and push it through the hole that was drilled. (This should cause it to emerge on the opposite end of the door.)
On the exterior section of the door, use a screwdriver to screw in the escutcheon plates for the door knob and the keyway.
Connect the exterior section of the doorknob to the spindle, and insert the set screw if applicable.
Test your rim lock to make sure it is working appropriately.
