Installation Steps ?

Step 1: Install the Latch and Strike

Latch Installation:

• Check if the door edge is chiseled.
• If not chiseled, use a flathead screwdriver to remove the latch faceplate. Twist the collar off, install the drive-in collar, and then install the latch using a wood block and hammer.
• If chiseled, install the latch with the supplied screws.
• Ensure the slotted hole in the latch is at the bottom.
• Ensure the latch bolt is fully retracted (unlocked position).

Strike Installation:

• Install the strike on the door frame.
• Ensure the hole in the door frame is drilled at least 1 inch (25 mm) deep.

Step 2: Install the Exterior Keypad

• Determine if an adapter ring is needed based on the door hole diameter (1-1/2 inch holes require an adapter).
• Install the exterior keypad and mounting plate using the provided screws (53646). Do not overtighten.
• Ensure the flat blade of the exterior assembly is horizontal and centered in the mounting plate hole.
• Route the cable underneath the latch and push it into the bottom hole of the interior assembly.
• Ensure the TOP of the mounting plate is visible and parallel to the door edge.
• Insert the key and test the latch operation. Remove the key when the latch bolt is fully extended.

Step 3: Install the Interior Assembly

• Remove the interior cover from the interior assembly.
• Ensure the latch bolt is in the extended/locked position.
• Rotate the turnpiece shaft as shown in the diagram.
• Secure the interior assembly onto the mounting plate using the provided screws (52502).
• Connect the cable to the interior assembly, ensuring a tight connection.
• Insert the flat blade into the turnpiece shaft.
• Reinstall the interior cover.

Step 4: Install Batteries

• With the door open and interior cover removed, install 4 AA batteries into the interior assembly.
• Ensure correct polarity. Use new, non-rechargeable alkaline batteries for best results.
• Install the interior cover.
