Should the lock be in the open or locked position when installing the rod from the key cylinder?
Should the key/cylinder be in the lock or unlock position or in "center"?
Thoughts will be appreciated.

I don't know if my experience with the '37 is applicable, but my recollection is the key/cylinder was in the unlock position. Note: the cylinder is in the handle in '37 models. Given the '46's are in the door, it might be otherwise? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2016 Posts: 236 DLBrooks | | DLBrooks Joined: Jun 2016 Posts: 236 | I just put one in a 46 in the open position. I had to jiggle it a little ---slight turn --to get the square rod to slide thru. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 | Tried it in open position & set the arm on the latch to open, put it together and it works!!! One more project done.
Thanks for all your comments.
