5. Setup and Installation
The Phillips Model MX2202 features an Instant Version (IF) design for simplified installation. Follow these general steps:
- Prepare the Door: Ensure the sliding door frame is clean and free of obstructions. If replacing an old lock, remove it completely.
- Position the Lock: Place the main lock body on the interior side of the sliding door frame. The outer body is integrated for direct mounting.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the lock body or an installation template (if provided) to mark the screw holes and the cylinder opening on the door frame.
- Drill Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes for the mounting screws and the main cylinder opening. Ensure holes are straight and of the correct diameter.
- Install Lock Body: Secure the main lock body to the door frame using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is flush and stable.
- Install Strike Plate: Close the sliding door to determine the exact position for the strike plate on the opposing door frame or wall. Mark and drill pilot holes, then secure the strike plate. Ensure the latch engages smoothly.
- Test Operation: Insert a key into both sides of the cylinder and test the locking and unlocking mechanism. Ensure the latch extends and retracts fully and smoothly.

6. Operating Instructions
To operate your Phillips Model MX2202 Double Cylinder Sliding Door Lock:
- To Lock: Insert the key into the cylinder on either the interior or exterior side. Turn the key clockwise (or counter-clockwise, depending on installation) until the latch fully extends and engages with the strike plate. Remove the key.
- To Unlock: Insert the key into the cylinder on either the interior or exterior side. Turn the key counter-clockwise (or clockwise) until the latch fully retracts. Remove the key and open the door.
Note: As a double cylinder lock, a key is required for both locking and unlocking from both sides.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your lock:
- Cleaning: Wipe the lock body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a silicone-based spray specifically designed for locks into the keyway. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt.
- Check Screws: Occasionally check and tighten any loose mounting screws to maintain security.
- Door Alignment: Ensure your sliding door remains properly aligned. Misalignment can cause the lock to bind or not engage correctly.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your lock, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key is difficult to turn or remove. | Dirt in keyway, worn key, or lack of lubrication. | Apply lock lubricant. Try a spare key. Clean keyway with compressed air. |
| Latch does not engage the strike plate. | Door misalignment, strike plate misalignment, or loose mounting screws. | Adjust door alignment. Realign and re-secure strike plate. Tighten all mounting screws. |
