The Hilitand Smart Deadbolt Lock is designed for easy installation on doors with a thickness between 35mm and 55mm. No complex drilling is typically required for standard installations. Follow these general steps:

1. Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has a standard deadbolt bore hole. Measure the door thickness to confirm compatibility (35-55mm).
2. Install the Deadbolt Latch: Insert the lock core (deadbolt latch) into the door edge. Ensure the latch bolt faces the correct direction for your door swing. Secure it with screws.
3. Install the External Unit: Place the external lock unit (with keypad/fingerprint sensor) on the outside of the door, aligning the spindle and wires through the deadbolt hole.
4. Install the Internal Unit: Connect the wires from the external unit to the internal unit. Position the internal unit on the inside of the door, aligning it with the external unit and the deadbolt latch. Secure both units using the provided screws and mounting accessories.
5. Insert Batteries: Open the battery cover on the internal unit. Insert 4 AA dry batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the battery cover.
