Patent ID: 7971394

Claim:
A method of setting the height of a door locking mechanism at a desired height relative to a door and a door frame, the door having first and second vertical side edges, a front face and a back face separated by a thickness, and a lock cavity in the door thickness adjacent one of the vertical edges, the cavity opening to the adjacent one of the vertical edges and to aligned elongate slots in the front and back faces, and the door locking mechanism being disposed in the lock cavity and having a retractable plunger extending through the opening in the adjacent one of the vertical edge, and a working mechanism aligned with the aligned elongate slots in the front and back faces of the door to allow handles to be connected to the working mechanism to actuate the plunger, the method comprising: moving the locking mechanism and a generally U-shaped wrap plate extending around the front face, the adjacent one of the vertical edges, and the back face of the door, the wrap plate having an opening through which the plunger of the locking mechanism extends, and the portions of the wrap plate overlying the front and back faces having openings aligned with the working mechanism of the locking mechanism to allow the handles to be connected to the working mechanism, up or down to a desired height relative to the door and the door frame, with the working mechanism of the locking mechanism remaining aligned with the aligned slots in the front and back faces of the door, and the wrap plate covering the portions of the aligned slots not aligned with the working mechanism of the lock mechanism; and securing the wrap plate to the door to secure the locking mechanism at the desired height.
