Installation Diagram (AL30B)

This diagram illustrates the placement of various components on a door for installation. It shows the Outdoor assembly, Indoor assembly, Latch, Strike box, Strike plate, Gasket, Mounting plate, Keys, Screws (A, B, C), 3M tapes, and Stud. The diagram indicates how these parts connect and are positioned relative to the door. It also shows optional placement for the outdoor assembly and battery components.

Installation Procedure

1. Setting up the door

Follow these steps to prepare your door:

1. Tape the Installation Template at the desired handle height.
2. Mark for the holes and drill the marked location.
3. The hole A doesn't need to be drilled if the lock will be fixed by 3M Tapes.

Diagram shows a door edge with dimensions indicating recommended placement for drilling holes. Dimensions include 35mm - 53mm for door thickness and 60mm/70mm for backset. A red 'A' marks a specific hole location.

Make sure your door is set up as required, prior to installation. Please use the supplied Template for drilling holes if required.

2. Adjust the backset of the lock to 70mm (if needed)

Backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the hole drilled on the door. The default Backset is 60mm, but if you want to change the Backset to 70mm, grasp the body and twist the Faceplate as shown below:

60mm backset:

Diagram shows the latch bolt being pressed inside, the faceplate rotated, pulled out, and then rotated back to achieve the 60mm backset.

By default, the metal shaft twists over the center as shown:

Diagram shows two states of the metal shaft: one with a checkmark (✔️) indicating correct alignment, and one with a cross mark (❌) indicating incorrect alignment.

70mm backset:

Diagram shows the latch bolt being pressed inside, the faceplate rotated, pulled out, and then rotated back to achieve the 70mm backset.

3. Latch Installation

1. Before installing the Latch, make sure the Latch Bolt is in retracted (Unlocked) position and the arrow is facing upwards.Diagram shows the latch mechanism with an arrow pointing upwards, indicating the correct orientation for installation.
2. Secure the Latch by inserting the B screws.Diagram shows the latch being attached to the door edge with screws.

4. Installation of Outdoor assembly

There are two methods to install the Outdoor assembly:

Method 1: Installing with 3M Tapes

1. Paste a 3M Tape on the Mounting plate of Outdoor assembly.
2. 1) Make sure the highlighted Spindle is in the horizontal position, as shown. 2) Route the cable through the opening below the bolt. 3) Attach the Outdoor assembly to the door by inserting it through the Latch.Diagram shows applying 3M tape to the mounting plate, then aligning and attaching the outdoor assembly to the door, routing the cable.

Method 2: Installing with Stud

1. Move the Gasket away and fix the Stud on the Mounting plate of Outdoor assembly.
2. 1) Make sure the highlighted Spindle is in the horizontal position, as shown. 2) Route the cable through the opening below the bolt. 3) Attach the Outdoor assembly to the door by inserting it through the Latch.Diagram shows fixing a stud to the mounting plate, then aligning and attaching the outdoor assembly to the door, routing the cable.

5. Installation of Mounting plate with Gasket

Method 1: Installing with 3M Tapes

1. Paste a 3M Tape on the Mounting plate of Indoor assembly.
2. Attach the Mounting plate to the Gasket and route the cable through the hole on the Mounting plate and Gasket.
