Installation Instructions
Setup and Screw Replacement
These instructions cover the general process for replacing or installing screws in compatible Kwikset deadbolts. Always refer to your specific deadbolt's primary installation manual for detailed steps.
- Preparation: Ensure the deadbolt is disassembled or partially disassembled as required for screw access.
- Identify Screws: Match the screws from this pack to the corresponding screw holes in your deadbolt assembly. Pay attention to length, thread type, and head style.
- Insert Screws: Carefully insert the correct screws into their designated positions.
- Tighten: Using an appropriate screwdriver (typically Phillips head), tighten the screws until snug. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads or damage the deadbolt components.
- Test Functionality: After all screws are in place and tightened, reassemble the deadbolt (if necessary) and test its operation to ensure smooth locking and unlocking.
Maintenance
The screws in this pack are designed for durability. Regular maintenance is generally not required for the screws themselves.
- Periodically check that all deadbolt screws remain securely tightened.
- If a screw becomes loose, gently tighten it. Avoid overtightening.
- Do not apply lubricants directly to the screw threads unless specified by the deadbolt's primary manual.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Screw Does Not Fit:
Ensure you are using the correct screw from the pack for your specific deadbolt model and location. Refer to your deadbolt's original manual for screw identification.
- Screw Strips:
This usually occurs from overtightening. If a screw head strips, it may need to be carefully extracted and replaced. If the receiving thread strips, professional assistance may be required.
- Deadbolt Malfunctions After Screw Replacement:
Verify that all screws are correctly installed and tightened. Incorrect screw placement or overtightening can impede the deadbolt's internal mechanisms. Re-check the deadbolt's primary installation instructions.
