Step 6 - BUIT 4545 PRESENTATION, Q12: INSTALLING DOOR HARDWARE


Step 6 - The first video explains the process of attaching the striker onto the door jamb (that the door latch will sit in) and the second video shows the actual installation to finished status.

Additional step is to install a door stop on the skirting of the wall where the door swings up against.  This is important as it stops damage occurring to the wall from the handle swinging into it.  
The best way to measure where it goes is to swing the door so it is sitting against the wall and line up the stopper so it sits low enough of the skirting so that the screw that will hold it in place will drill through the bottom plate of the wall.  Mark a temporary line where this is to go, then pre drill and attach stopper.  The stopper itself should split into two parts so that you see the screw section inside and then can put the top on so the fixings are hidden.
