1. Using the allen wrench, loosen and remove the set screw on the outside of the latch assembly. Unthread the outer crank from the latch shaft so the parts can be taken off the door and discarded (save the original spacer washers for possible future use).

2. Place two of the spacer washers onto the new latch shaft and push the latch through the hole in the door. Retain the extra spacer washers for possible adjustment to the latch.

3. Slip the flat washer and coil spring onto the latch on the outside of the door.

4. Thread the outer crank portion onto the threads of the latch until it is flush to the surface of the door. Once it is in this position, back it off three turns, line the groove in the latch shaft up with the hole in the crank, and turn in the setscrew to lock it in this position. The coil spring will be inside the crank and the crank will be approximately 1/8” from the surface of the door.
