- In order to install door lock hardware into a
door 10, a user must properly drill a front hole and a side hole into thedoor 10. The two holes must be properly positioned and aligned for the door hardware to function as designed. Typically, the side hole is drilled at a proper elevation (i.e., distance above the floor) in the center of aside edge 15 of thedoor 10. The front hole is drilled at the same elevation through the front andrear faces 20 of thedoor 10. The center of the front hole is spaced back from theside edge 15 of the door 10 a predetermined backset distance. Two standard backset distances are commonly used with doors 10 (e.g., 2.375 inches and 2.75 inches). In addition,standard doors 10 are typically either 1 inch thick or 0.75 inches thick. - The door lock installation kit 25 (DLIK) can assist an individual while installing a door lockset on
doors 10 with various thicknesses and made from many different materials. TheDLIK 25 can also accommodate backsets of a variety of distances, with an embodiment capable of accommodating two backsets illustrated herein. TheDLIK 25 can be constructed using a variety of materials including but not limited to plastics, steel aluminum, other metals, and composite materials. -

Thethird arm 175 has the same configuration as thesecond arm 85 of the front hole guidehousing 30 and thefourth arm 180 has the same configuration as thefirst arm 70 of the front hole guidehousing 30. The fourarms first arm 70 is located near the uppermost corner of the front hole guidehousing 30 and thefourth arm 180 is located near the lowermost corner of theback arm 50. Thesecond arm 85 is located near the lowermost corner of the front hole guidehousing 30 while thethird arm 175 is located near the uppermost corner of theback arm 50. - In some constructions, the
strike plate locator 55 is formed as part of theback arm 50 or attaches to theback arm 50 as illustrated inFIG. 4 andFIG. 6 . In the illustrated construction, thestrike plate locator 55 includes a pair ofarms 185 that support atrapezoidal cross member 190. Thecross member 190 is sized to engage a strike plate to position theDLIK 25 at the proper level above the floor as will be discussed in greater detail. Thearms 185 engage a base 192 that is sized to slide into a pair ofshoulders 193 which hold thestrike plate locator 55 in the desired position. - The
side hole guide 45 includes a substantiallyrectangular block 195 that includes a first elongated side 200 and a secondelongated side 205. Alarge aperture 210 is formed in therectangular block 195 and is preferably centered between the first side edge 200 and thesecond side edge 205. Twosmaller apertures 215 are formed adjacent thelarge aperture 210 and extend in a direction parallel to thelarge aperture 210. Afirst slot 220 is positioned near the top of therectangular block 195 and extends from the first side 200 through to thesecond side 205. Theslot 220 includes a rectangular cross-section sized to receive thethird arm 175. Alock member 225 is formed within the first slot 220 (shown inFIG. 5 ) and is sized to engage thehook 90 of thethird arm 175.

Thelock member 235 of thefirst slot 220 and thesecond slot 230 are formed on opposite ends of therespective slots FIG. 4 . Athird slot 240 extends from the first side 200 toward thesecond side 205 just below thefirst slot 220. Thethird slot 240 is substantially rectangular and intersects with one of thesmall apertures 215 adjacent thelarge aperture 210. Thefourth slot 245 extends from thesecond side 205 toward the first side 200 and is positioned just above thesecond slot 230. Thefourth slot 245 is rectangular in cross section and intersects the secondsmall aperture 215 adjacent thelarge aperture 210. - With continued reference to
FIG. 4 , theDLIK 25 is assembled by first positioning thecylindrical wall 115 of theguide slide 40 within thelarge aperture 65 of the front hole guidehousing 30. Thetabs guide slide 40 fit within therecess portions 100 with thekey portion 140 fitting within one of the twoslots 105. Thefront hole guide 35 is then inserted into thelarge aperture 65 of the front hole guidehousing 30 and into theaperture 120 defined by thecylindrical wall 115. Thetabs 165 of thecylindrical portion 150 of thefront hole guide 35 engage theslots 125 of thecylindrical wall 115 to lock thefront hole guide 35 to theguide slide 40 with the front hole guidehousing 30 sandwiched therebetween. Thekey portions 140 of thetabs front hole guide 35 in one of two backset positions and are movable between those positions as will be discussed. - The front hole guide
housing 30 is then connected to theside hole guide 45. Thefirst arm 70 is inserted into thethird slot 240 and freely slides within thethird slot 240. Thesecond arm 85 is inserted into thesecond slot 230 by pushing thehook 90 beyond thelock member 235 formed in thesecond slot 230. Once passed, thehook 90 snaps outward and engages the lock member 235 (seeFIG. 5 ) to inhibit the unwanted separation of the front hole guidehousing 30 and theside hole guide 45. - The
back arm 50 is then connected to theside hole guide 45. Thefourth arm 180 is inserted into thefourth slot 245 and freely slides within thefourth slot 245. Thethird arm 175 is inserted into thefirst slot 220 by pushing thehook 90 of thethird arm 175 beyond thelock member 235 formed in thefirst slot 220. Once passed, thehook 90 snaps outward and engages the lock member 235 (seeFIG. 5 ) to inhibit the unwanted separation of theback arm 50 and theside hole guide 45. - The use of the
DLIK 25 will be described with reference toFIGS. 1-3 .FIG. 1 illustrates theDLIK 25 in a first configuration in which the front hole guidehousing 30 and theback arm 50 are arranged to accommodate the narrowest of the two standard door widths. In this arrangement, the front hole guidehousing 30 and theback arm 50 are pushed into an abutting position with respect to theside hole guide 45. In this position, oneaperture 75 of theFIG. 8 shapedaperture 80 of thefirst arm 70 aligns with one of thesmall apertures 215 in theside hole guide 45. The user can insert a pin through the twoholes housing 30 and theside hole guide 45. Similarly, theaperture 75 in thefourth arm 180 aligns with the other of thesmall apertures 215. The user can insert a second pin in thesecond aperture 75 andsmall aperture 215 to lock the position of theback arm 50 with respect to theside hole guide 45. In other constructions, screws pass through thesmall apertures 215 and theapertures 75 and engage thedoor 10 to attach the DLIK 25 to thedoor 10. - Returning to
FIG. 1 , the fronthole guide slide 40 is shown positioned in a first standard backset position. As illustrated, thekey portion 140 is disposed within theslot 105 closest to theside hole guide 45 to lock the position of thefront hole guide 35. -
FIG. 2 illustrates theDLIK 25 in a second configuration that allows theDLIK 25 to accommodate adoor 10 having a second standard width that is wider than the first. In this position, the front hole guidehousing 30 and theback arm 50 are spaced apart from theside hole guide 45. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , thehooks 90 engage, or are close to engaging thelock member DLIK 25. In the second configuration, thesecond aperture 75 of theFIG. 8 shapedaperture 80 of thefirst arm 70 aligns with one of thesmall apertures 215 of theside hole guide 45 for receipt of the pin. With the pin inserted, the position of the front hole guidehousing 30 is locked with respect to theside hole guide 45. Similarly, thesecond aperture 75 of theFIG. 8 shapedaperture 80 of thefourth arm 180 aligns with the othersmall aperture 215 for the receipt of a pin. With the pin installed, the position of theback arm 50 is fixed with respect to theside hole guide 45. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 also illustrate the fronthole guide slide 40 in a second backset position that is different than the first. Specifically, the second backset position is further back from theside hole guide 45 than the first backset position. In this position, thekey portion 140 engages thesecond slot 105 to lock theguide slide 40 and thefront hole guide 35 in the desired position. - To use the
DLIK 25, the user first positions theDLIK 25 in one of the two door width positions corresponding with thedoor 10 to which the lock hardware is being installed. The user than positions theguide slide 40 in the proper position for the desired backset. TheDLIK 25 is then positioned on thedoor 10 and thestrike plate locator 55 is extended. Thestrike plate locator 55 is aligned with the strike plate to position theDLIK 25 at the proper elevation on thedoor 10. The user than drills, or marks the location to be drilled for the front hole and the side hole to complete the preparation of thedoor 10 for the installation of the door lock hardware. - The
