Before installation, ensure your door dimensions are compatible with the smart lock. Refer to the diagram below for measurements.

Figure 3: Door dimension compatibility check.

If your original strike plate matches the illustrated dimensions (Width: Roughly 13/16" (21mm), Height: Roughly 1¼" (32mm), Depth: At least 1" (25mm)), replacement is not necessary.

3.2 Step-by-Step Installation

For a visual guide, please refer to the official installation video below.

1. Adjust Deadbolt Length (If needed): If the backset is 2¾" (70mm), rotate the faceplate approximately 30 degrees, pull it down to the bottom, then rotate it back to secure the fixed point at the 2¾" (70mm) position.
2. Install Deadbolt: Keep the deadbolt in the unlocked position and ensure the torque blade hole is centered in the cross bore. Keep the hole vertical. Secure with strike screws.
3. Install Exterior Assembly: Route the cable below the deadbolt. Ensure the deadbolt is in the unlock position and the torque blade is vertically oriented.
4. Install Mounting Plate: Use the appropriate mounting screws based on your door thickness (1⅜"-1¾" (35-45mm) use 1⅛" (28mm) screw; 1¾"-2⅛" (45-54mm) use 1⅜" (35mm) screw).
5. Install Interior Assembly: Connect the wire to the interior assembly. Keep the thumb turn on the unlock position.
6. Check Manual Lock: By turning the thumb turn, lock and unlock the deadbolt a few times to ensure it works smoothly.
7. Check Unlock/Lock Button: Press the unlock/lock button to confirm normal operation.
8. Check Auto-lock Function: Wait for 10 seconds. The lock bolt should automatically extend, and the door lock will be in a closed state.

The smart lock requires 8 AA alkaline batteries (not included). These batteries can last about 8 months based on 10 uses per day under ideal conditions. Carbon batteries are not recommended.

1. Open the battery cover on the interior assembly.
2. Insert 8 AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
3. Close the battery cover.
