Installation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Door & Check Dimensions

  • Door Hole Diameter: Confirm 2-1/8 in (54 mm) or 1-1/2 in (38 mm). An adapter ring is required for 1-1/2 in holes.
  • Backset: Confirm 2-3/8 in (60 mm) or 2-3/4 in (70 mm).
  • Door Edge Hole: Confirm 1 in (25 mm) diameter.
  • Door Thickness: Confirm between 1-3/8 in (35 mm) and 1-3/4 in (44 mm). Contact Kwikset customer service for thick door kits if needed.

If drilling a new door, use the supplied template and instructions from www.kwikset.com/doorprep.

Step 2: Install the Latch & Strike

  • Hold the latch in front of the door hole, flush with the door edge. Ensure the rectangular shaped hole is centered.
  • If the door edge is chiselled, install the latch with supplied screws. If not chiselled, remove the latch face, twist off the collar, and install the drive-in collar. Ensure the slotted hole is at the bottom of the latch.
  • Install the strike on the door frame. Ensure the hole in the door frame is drilled a minimum of 1 in (25 mm) deep.
  • Important: Make sure the latch bolt is fully retracted (in the unlocked position) before proceeding.

Step 3: Install the Exterior Keypad

  • Route the cable from the exterior keypad underneath the latch.
  • Position the exterior keypad and mounting plate, ensuring the flat blade is horizontal and the top of the mounting plate is visible and parallel to the door edge.
  • Secure the mounting plate with screws. Tighten evenly, but do not overtighten.
  • Insert the key and test the latch to ensure smooth extension and retraction. Remove the key and ensure the latch bolt is fully extended.

Step 4: Install the Interior Assembly

  • Remove the interior cover.
  • Ensure the latch bolt is in the extended/locked position and the turnpiece shaft is rotated upwards.
  • Connect the cable from the exterior keypad to the interior assembly, ensuring a tight connection. Route the cable around the side notch and bottom.
  • Insert the flat blade into the turnpiece shaft.
  • Secure the interior assembly to the mounting plate using the correct screws.

Step 5: Install the Batteries

  • Ensure the door is open and the interior cover is off before installing batteries.
  • Install 4 new, non-rechargeable AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Batteries are not included.
