3. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure your door thickness is between 1.38 inches and 2.95 inches (35mm to 75mm).

3.1. Adjusting Handle Direction

The handle direction can be adjusted to suit your door's opening direction (left or right).

1. Locate the screw on the back of the lock panel that secures the handle.
2. Loosen this screw using a screwdriver.
3. Rotate the handle to the desired opening direction.
4. Tighten the screw firmly to secure the handle in place.
5. On the back panel, ensure the triangular arrow inside the square hole points towards the direction of the handle. Adjust if necessary using a screwdriver.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Initial Password and Unlocking

The lock comes with an initial factory password, typically '123'. To unlock:

1. Press the 'C' key to clear any previous entries.
2. Enter the initial password (e.g., '123').
3. Press down the handle to open the door.

The lock cannot be opened without entering the correct password after pressing 'C'.

4.2. Changing the Password

To change the password, you will need to access the internal mechanism of the lock. This process involves identifying which pins are set as part of the current password and then reconfiguring them for a new password.

1. Remove the lock from the door to access the back panel.
2. On the back of the keypad panel, observe the small rectangular holes next to each number. The numbers with a red indicator visible through these holes are part of the current password.
3. To change the password, use a small flat-head screwdriver to push the pins corresponding to the old password numbers from red to silver (or vice-versa, depending on the current state).
4. Then, push the pins corresponding to your new desired password numbers from silver to red.
5. Ensure that the 'C' key pin is always set to red (password).
6. Reassemble the lock onto the door.
7. Test the new password: Press 'C', enter your new password, and press down the handle.

4.3. Automatic Locking and Normal Opening Mode

The lock is designed for automatic locking after the door closes. This provides enhanced security. For situations where the door needs to remain unlocked for flexible entry and exit, the lock can be set to a normal opening mode (specific instructions for this mode are not detailed in the provided information, but generally involve a specific sequence or a hold-open feature if available).

5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Souyou Mechanical Keyless Entry Door Lock, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the lock's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Inspect the handle and keypad for any signs of wear or damage.
• Environmental Protection: The lock is designed to be waterproof and resistant to various weather conditions. However, extreme conditions may still affect its appearance over time. Regular cleaning can help maintain its aesthetic.

6. Troubleshooting

• Lock not opening with correct password: Ensure you press the 'C' key before entering the password. Verify that the handle direction is correctly set and the triangular arrow on the back panel points towards the handle.
• Handle feels loose or does not engage: Check the handle screw on the back of the panel and tighten it if necessary. Ensure the square spindle is correctly inserted and engaging with the latch mechanism.
• Spindle too long: If the spindle is too long for your door thickness, it may need to be shortened. This can typically be done with a hacksaw. Exercise caution to avoid cutting it too short, as this will render it unusable.
• Difficulty changing password: Refer to the password setting video and ensure all pins are correctly flipped for the old and new passwords. The 'C' key pin must always be set to red (password).
• Lock mechanism stiff: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and internal moving parts.
