Installation Steps:

  1. Test Your Deadbolt: Before disassembling, ensure your existing deadbolt throws smoothly without pushing or pulling the door. This confirms proper door alignment.
  2. Disassemble Your Existing Lock: Unscrew and remove your current lock housing, deadbolt, and strike plate.
  3. Install the Backset and Motor: Insert the Level Lock+ backset into the cross bore hole, ensuring the word "TOP" faces upwards. Secure it with the provided bolt plate screws using a Phillips screwdriver (do not overtighten or use a power tool). Then, slide the motor onto the backset and tighten the connecting screw.
  4. Install the Strike Plate: Fasten the appropriate strike plate (short or long) that best fits your door jamb with the provided strike plate screws.
  5. Install the Housing and Interior Plate: Line up the tailpiece of the exterior housing with the horizontal opening in the tailpiece adapter and slide it through. For the interior plate, align its horizontal opening with the end of the tailpiece and secure it with the two supplied security screws.
  6. Activate Your Lock: Unscrew the cap on the end of the bolt and insert the CR2 battery with the negative end towards the cap. If you've adjusted the bolt to the long position, use the included long cap. When you screw the cap back in, you will hear a welcome chime, indicating successful activation.

If you encounter issues with your Level Lock+, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Level Connect Wi-Fi Bridge is within 20 feet of the lock and connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Check your home Wi-Fi signal strength.
  • App Not Responding: Close and reopen the Level Home app. Ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled and you are within range of the lock.
  • Lock Not Responding: Check the battery level in the Level Home app. If the battery is low, replace it. Ensure the lock is properly installed and the deadbolt moves freely.
