• The long metal piece sticking out of the exterior knob is called the spindle. The spindle turns with the knob and causes the springs within the latch to slide the bolt into the door so it opens.

• Install both knobs by sliding the spindle through the slot in the latch.

• Align the two long screws from the inside knob into the cylinders on the exterior door knob and tighten the screws.

• Remove the two screws holding the strike plate in place on the door jamb and install the new one in the same position.

• Open and close the door several times to check that the latch aligns properly with the strike plate and that the knob turns smoothly.
