2. Install the Latch
Insert the latch into the edge bore hole of the door. Ensure the bevel of the latch bolt faces the door frame. Secure with screws.
3. Install the Knobs
Align the posts of the exterior knob with the holes in the latch. Slide the exterior knob into place. Then, align the interior knob and secure it to the exterior knob using the provided screws.
4. Install the Strike Plate
On the door frame, align and install the strike plate where the latch bolt will engage when the door is closed. Secure with screws.
Rekeying the Lock (SmartKey Cylinder)
The SmartKey cylinder allows you to rekey your lock to a new key in three easy steps. This is useful if you lose a key or want to match your lock to other SmartKey locks.
- Insert your functioning key fully into the cylinder and turn it 90 degrees clockwise.
- Insert the SmartKey rekeying tool fully into the SmartKey hole. Apply firm pressure and remove the rekeying tool.
- Remove your functioning key. Insert your new key fully into the cylinder and turn it 180 degrees counter-clockwise. Your lock is now rekeyed.
Operating Instructions
The Weiser Troy Entry Knob operates as a standard keyed entry knob. To lock the door from the exterior, use the key. To lock from the interior, rotate the turn-button on the interior knob. To unlock, use the key from the exterior or rotate the turn-button from the interior.
The SmartKey cylinder provides pick-resistance and bump-resistance for enhanced security.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the bright brass finish and ensure smooth operation of your Weiser Troy Entry Knob, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the knob with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the keyway to ensure smooth key insertion and turning. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
