5. Installation Guide
The OLUMAT B28 Smart Door Lock is designed for easy installation, typically requiring only a Philips screwdriver. No additional drilling or wiring is needed for most standard American front doors. The door handle is reversible for both left and right-handed doors.
Important Installation Notes:
- It is strongly recommended to install this lock while the door is open or ajar.
- Do not close your door until the batteries are inserted and the lock is fully tested.
- If you have an existing deadbolt lock, install the smart lock above it. Move the deadbolt lock to the bottom position to avoid installation issues.
Door Compatibility:
This lock fits doors with a thickness of 1.30" – 1.97" (33mm-50mm) and a bore hole diameter of 2.13" (54mm). The bore hole backset should be 2.36" (60mm) or 2.76" (70mm). It is not compatible with storm doors due to the lock handle size.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Door: Ensure your door meets the compatibility requirements. Remove any existing lock hardware.
- Install the Latch Bolt: Slide the latch bolt into the door edge. Secure it with the provided screws. Adjust the bolt length to 2.36" or 2.76" to center the spindle hole with the door bore hole. Ensure the spindle hole is squarely aligned with the ground.
- Install the Front Panel: Slide the lock spindle and wire connector from the front panel through the latch bolt and door bore hole. Ensure the front panel is facing outside.
- Install the Mounting Plate: Thread the wire connector through the mounting plate. Secure the mounting plate to the door using the appropriate screws.
- Connect the Back Panel: Connect the wire connector from the front panel to the wire connector port on the back panel. Ensure the cable line is under the studs to prevent pinching.
- Secure the Back Panel: Attach the back panel to the mounting plate, ensuring the spindle aligns correctly. Secure the back panel with screws.
- Install Batteries: Unscrew the battery box cover on the back panel. Insert 4 AA batteries, observing polarity. Replace the battery box cover and secure it with the screw.
- Attach Handles: Loosen the handle screws on both the front and back panels. Slip the outside handle onto the knob in either direction to fit your door. Secure the handle screw. Repeat for the inside handle.
