Step 2: Drill Pilot Holes
-
1Marking the Drill Holes with the Install Template
-
Inside the HAVEN box is an Install Template. It is a thin piece of plastic that has six holes in it. It is the exact shape of the lock. Take the install template and place it in front of your door. Align the install HAVEN with the two marks you have made in Step 1: The center point of the door and the line on the floor marking the correct distance from the door. If you have not made these marks, go back to STEP 1 and follow the those instructions before proceeding.
-
Now that your HAVEN Install Template is placed at the center of the door and on the line on the floor, you are can mark the six holes of the template on the floor. Mark them well since this will be where you will be drilling. Mark all six holes on the floor.

2Drill pilot holes
Using your power drill and the 1/8" drill-bit, drill your pilot holes 2 inches down.
Using a towel or vaccum, clean up any saw dust left from drilling the holes.
