Install the latch through the 1" diameter hole, and use a pencil to outline the latch plate. Using a 1" bit, drill a hole from the side of the door slab, finishing when the hole extends into the new hole for the deadbolt. Then, finish drilling from the opposite side.

It is recommended that you drill about 3/4 of the way through the door slab from one side, just until the pilot bit of the hole saw protrudes from the opposite side. If necessary, use a hole-saw to drill a 2-1/8" (54mm) diameter hole, centered on a 2-3/8" backset. Additionally, mark a point at the center-point on the edge of the door, directly even with your backset point. Otherwise, mark a point at a 2-3/8" backset at the desired height from the bottom of the door. If you are replacing an existing deadbolt and do not need to drill a new hole, confirm that the backset measures 2-3/8". The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center-point of the hole that you will need to drill. Most residential door hardware requires a 2-3/8" backset.
