Make sure to drill the holes for the screws at the required depth and to use the correct bit of the drill machine for this purpose. Start first by drilling holes with a drill machine on the base plate of the loop. Make small holes on these marks by hammering a nail on the pencil marks. With one hand hold the two parts of the hasp at the desired position, and with the other hand mark the screw holes at the base plate of the loop on the door and those of the latch on the frame. The latch arm and loop plate should be positioned at a distance so that there is no friction when the lock or the door is opened. Now place the loop plate on the door and simultaneously place the latch on the frame in a manner so that the loop fits smoothly in the slit of the latch.
