STEP 1: Prepare the door and check dimensions

If drilling a new door, use the supplied template and complete door drilling instructions.

1. Measure to confirm the hole in the door is 2-1/8" (54 mm).
2. Measure to confirm the backset is either 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" (60 or 70 mm).
3. Measure to confirm the hole in the door edge is 1" (25 mm).
4. Measure to confirm the thickness of the door is between 1-3/8" and 2" (35mm and 50mm).

STEP 2: Install the latch and strike

1. Insert the latch bolt into the door:
   • Ensure the T-shaped hole is in the bottom position.
   • If the latch bolt is not retracted, twist it to adjust the length.
   • Proceed to the next step.
2. Install strike on the door frame:
   • Make sure the hole in the door frame is drilled a minimum of 1" (25mm) deep.

STEP 3: Install the exterior assembly

• Route the cable through the door below the bolt.
• Push the keypad onto the door.
• Note: The key must be pulled out when installing.

STEP 4: Install the interior assembly

1. Remove the mounting plate by loosening the two screws.
2. Route the cable through the bottom of the mounting plate.
3. Tighten screws evenly.
4. Ensure a tight cable connection. The smooth side of the plug should be at the bottom.
5. Tighten screws evenly.
6. Note: Support the exterior assembly during mounting plate installation.
7. Testing: Insert key and test latch. If the latch does not extend or retract smoothly, adjust the mounting plate screws.
8. Troubleshooting: If the keypad and mounting plate have deflection, loosen mounting plate screws and adjust.

STEP 5: Install the batteries and perform the door handing process

Note: Do not use rechargeable batteries or Non-alkaline batteries.

1. Install 4 AA batteries in the battery pack. The batteries are not included.
2. Perform the door handing process: Press the button, and the latch bolt extends by itself.

Troubleshooting: If the latch bolt extends or retracts not smoothly, check the latch and re-install the lock.
