Installation Guide
Tools Required: Phillips screwdriver. Do not use a power drill.
Step 1: Remove Existing Lock
Remove the entire deadbolt, including the bolt. You may also want to remove the strike. A standard Schlage deadbolt is shown. Check with your specific deadbolt manufacturer if you need help.

Step 2: Install the Bolt
You may have to adjust your bolt length. Ensure the slot in the bolt is centered in the hole. Make sure the word "TOP" is facing up. Twist the faceplate to extend the bolt to the correct length (up to 2 3/4 inches).

Step 3: Install the Strike into the Door Frame
Install the strike into the door frame. If you have a window next to your door, you may not be able to use the longer wood screws to install the strike. Install the strike reinforcer for enhanced security.

Step 4: Install the Touchscreen
Route the cable through the door BELOW the bolt. Align the tailpiece as shown and push the touchscreen onto the door. The bump on the tailpiece aligns with the slot in the bolt.

If the through hole seems too small or the tailpiece is not installing correctly, you may need to remove the spacer. Visit alle.co/encode.
Step 5: Install the Backplate
Route the cable under the bolt and through the hole on the bottom of the backplate. Secure the backplate with screws. Make sure the outside touchscreen is straight before tightening screws all the way.

Step 6: Connect the Cable
Tuck the cable and connector in the space above the spindle.

Step 7: Secure the Lock to the Door
Secure the lock to the door. If the bump on the tailpiece doesn't align with the slot in the back of the inside assembly, make sure your thumbturn is vertical (up and down). The bump on the tailpiece aligns with the slot in the back of the inside assembly.

Step 8: Install Batteries and Slide the Cover On
Pull out the battery holder. Install batteries into the holder. Reinstall the battery holder, turning it around so the batteries face the door. Slide the battery cover on.

- Your lock will enter a setup routine. When the bolt stops moving, setup is complete.
Final test:
- Close your door.
- Extend and retract the bolt using the inside thumbturn.
- Make sure the bolt retracts smoothly.
- Open your door.
- Extend the bolt using the inside thumbturn.
- Now enter a user code at the touchscreen.
