3.2 Step-by-Step Installation

Installation typically requires only a screwdriver. Follow the voice prompts during basic digital lock setup.

1. Remove Existing Lock: Carefully remove your current deadbolt and any associated hardware.
2. Adjust Deadbolt Latch: Adjust the length of the deadbolt to either 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" as required by your door. Ensure the word "UP" on the deadbolt faces upwards and the deadbolt is in the retracted (unlocked) status.
3. Install Deadbolt: Insert the deadbolt into the door edge. Secure it with the provided screws.
4. Install Exterior Assembly: Place the exterior lock assembly onto the door, ensuring the spindle is vertical and the cable passes under the deadbolt. Do not insert the mechanical key during this step.
5. Install Mounting Plate: Pass the spindle through the central hole of the mounting plate and the cable through the right bottom hole. The side with the words "Cable Hole" should face outside. Secure the mounting plate firmly with screws.
6. Connect Cable: Plug the cable from the exterior assembly into the port on the interior assembly.
7. Install Interior Assembly: Align the interior assembly with the mounting plate, ensuring the knob is vertical. Tighten the screws into the interior assembly.
8. Insert Batteries: Open the battery cover on the interior assembly and insert 4 AA batteries (not included), observing polarity. Close the cover.
