In some states, employers may require employees to provide proof that they were called for jury duty before they take any time off work. For most employees, the most important issue is whether or not they will be paid for time spent on jury duty.ome employers doggedly resist the idea of allowing employees to take time off for jury duty -- and apply subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) pressure on them to try to get out of serving. Recognizing this problem, most states prohibit employers from firing or disciplining employees called to serve on a jury.
The two important variables when installing a lockset are the height of the knob above the finish floor and the backsetâthe distance from the center of the knob to the near edge of the door.

Step 3: Make a hole. With the paper template from the lock kit, mark the centers of the bolt and the lock. Using these marks, drill through the face of the door with the holesaw. When the pilot bit just pokes through, finish the hole from the opposite side. Then, drill into the door's edge with a 1-inch spade bit.Tip. To accommodate the throw of the bolt, drill a half-inch past the far edge of the lock hole. Step 4: Install the bolt, latch, and cylinder. Insert the bolt into the hole you drill on the edge, and screw the bolt plate in place.Then, slide in the latch side of the lock, and make sure it engages the bolt mechanism. Finally, install the cylinder half of the lock on the opposite side of the door. Secure everything with the screws from the lock kit.Tip. Apply lipstick to the raised part of the end of the bolt. Close the door and turn the bolt out to leave a spot of color on the jamb. Center your strike plate over this mark.inally, install the cylinder half of the lock on the opposite side of the door.
