Checking lock function

1. Operate the deadbolt from the inside (Keyed or Thumb Turn)
   • Is the motion smooth and the bolt can be fully retracted and extended with the door closed?
   • Indicator sign always shows the correct bolt position.
2. Operate the deadbolt from the outside (Keyed, Emergency Turn)
   • Is the motion smooth and the bolt can be fully retracted and extended with the door closed?
   • Indicator sign always shows the correct bolt position.
   • If the sign does not match the latch bolt position, return to step 4 and ensure that the latch and trim are all in retracted/unlocked/vacant positions prior to installation.
   • If motion is not smooth or the bolt cannot be fully extended, review the door prep template and verify the door prep is correct.
3. Mounting bolts difficult to install
   • Return to step 2, ensure the fire cup is pointing in the recommended position.
