5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. A screwdriver is required.

5.1. Prepare the Door

1. Mark Door: Using the provided template, mark the hole on both sides of the door at the required backset. Then, mark the latch hole on the door edge.
2. Drill Holes: Bore a 2.13-inch hole on the door face. Then drill a 0.98-inch hole in the door edge to intersect with the center of the 2.13-inch hole. Note: Drill the 2.13-inch hole from both sides of the door to prevent wood splintering.

5.2. Install Latch and Strike Plate

1. Install Latch: Insert the latch into the hole and mark a line around the edge of the latch plate. Remove the latch. Chisel approximately 0.12 inches deep or until the latch plate sits flush with the door edge. Re-insert the latch, then drill 0.08 x 0.12-inch holes for mounting screws and fasten the latch.
2. Install Strike: Close the door and mark the horizontal center of the latch on the door frame. Mark a vertical line where the door edge meets the frame and measure in half of the door thickness to find the vertical center. Extend both lines until they intersect and drill a 0.98-inch hole to 0.59 inches in depth. Position the strike plate and mark around its edge. Chisel the frame to approximately 0.06 inches in depth or until the strike sits flush. Drill 0.08 x 0.12-inch screw holes and fix the strike to the frame.

5.3. Assemble the Lock

1. Install Outside Knob: Feed the power cable through the latch and guide the spindle through until the outside rose sits flush.
2. Install Inside Knob: Feed the power cable through the hole in the knob and guide the spindle into the handle. Screw the inside knob to the outside knob using mounting screws.
3. Install Batteries: Install 4 pieces of LR6 / 1.5V AA alkaline batteries into the battery box. Install the + / - batteries in strict accordance with the arrow shown in the figure. Incorrect battery installation will prevent the product from working and may cause damage.
4. Connect Power Cable: Plug the power cord into the power socket. Recycle any excess power cord into the hole. Install the battery cover in the correct orientation and fasten with 2 mounting screws.

5.4. Initial Test

After installation, perform an initial test:

• Input the default password (e.g., 0123#) to prompt a sound and turn the knob to verify that the unlocking mechanism functions normally.
