Pre-Installation Check

• Measure your door's backset, cross bore, and thickness to ensure proper fit.
• Ensure the existing deadbolt hole is properly prepared.

Installation Steps

1. Install the Latch: Insert the latch into the prepared door edge. Secure it with the provided 3/4-inch mounting screws. Ensure the deadbolt is retracted before proceeding.
2. Align Keypad Assembly: Align the exterior keypad assembly with the door hole, ensuring the driver bar passes through the installed latch. The connector cable should pass over the top of the latch to the interior side.
3. Install Interior Mounting Plate: Align the interior mounting plate with the interior door hole. Ensure the cam is in the down position. Thread the connector cable through the opening. Gently pull excess wire through so the plate lies flat against the door.
4. Secure Mounting Plate: Insert the two 2-inch mounting screws on either side of the cam. Before fully tightening, ensure both assemblies are straight. Then, tighten the screws.
5. Connect Battery: Connect the wire harness from the battery to the connector cable. Attach the 9-volt battery to the wire harness and place it into its compartment. Carefully tuck excess cable wire into the assembly to prevent pinching.
6. Install Interior Cover: Rotate the interior thumbturn so it points towards the door hinges. Carefully place the interior lock assembly cover over the mounting plate, ensuring the driver bar fits into the center opening. Secure the cover with the two 3/4-inch mounting screws.

Maintenance
