Care and Cleaning

Installation

1. Preparing the door and checking dimensions

Measure to confirm that the hole in the door is 2-1/8 in. (54 mm).

Measure to confirm that the backset is either 2-3/8 in. or 2-3/4 in. (60 or 70 mm).

Measure to confirm that the hole in the door edge is 1 in. (25 mm).

Measure to confirm that the door is 1-3/8 in. to 2 in. (35 mm to 50 mm) thick.

Dimensions:

• Backset: 2-3/8 in. or 2-3/4 in. (60 or 70 mm)
• Door Thickness: 1-3/8 in. to 2 in. (35 mm to 50 mm)
• Door Hole Diameter: 2-1/8 in. (54 mm)
• Door Edge Hole Diameter: 1 in. (25 mm)

2. Installing the latch and strike

Hold the latch (C) in front of the door hole, with the latch face flush against the door edge. If the slotted hole is centered (backset 2-3/8 in.), no adjustment is required. If the slotted hole is not centered (backset 2-3/4 in.), rotate and pull backwards the latch to extend, then rotate it back as shown.

For doors with a chiseled edge: Install the latch directly into the door edge hole with latch screws (K).

For doors with a non-chiseled edge: Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the rectangular faceplate, rotate off part of the latch face, then install the drive-in collar (N). Then install the latch in the door using a wood block and hammer.

Insert a flat head screwdriver into the latch slot and rotate to test if the deadbolt works smoothly.

Install the strike (J) in the door frame with strike screws (L). For BHMA Grade 3 compliance, install the reinforcement plate (I).

3. Installing exterior assembly

IMPORTANT: Up arrow needs to face up on latch.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the hole in the door frame is drilled a minimum of 1 in. (25.4 mm) deep.

IMPORTANT: Before installation, make sure the latch is fully retracted (in the unlocked position).

Route the power cable (M) below the latch.

Install the exterior assembly (B) and send the power cable through the bottom horizontal slot in the mounting plate (D).

Secure the mounting plate with the mounting screws (E).

4. Installing interior assembly

IMPORTANT: Do not load batteries until the lock is completely installed.

Remove the battery cover (G).

Connect the power cable (M) and ensure a tight cable connection.

Rotate the thumb turn to the vertical position and install the interior assembly (F).

Secure the interior assembly with the supplied screws (H).

5. Detecting left/right hand door installation

Reset the lock to teach the lock the orientation of the door.

IMPORTANT: This step is required and crucial for the lock to operate properly.

While the door is OPEN and UNLOCKED, load three AA batteries into the interior assembly.

IMPORTANT: For best results, use new, non-rechargeable alkaline batteries only.

Press and hold the Reset button on the interior assembly using the reset tool (O) included in the package.

Load the last battery and keep holding the reset button for at least 3 seconds, until you hear a "beep". The latch bolt will extend to learn the orientation of the door.

Test the thumb turn for smooth rotation. If the thumb turn doesn't rotate, repeat the last step, making sure the thumb turn is in the vertical position.

IMPORTANT: The lock knob will only rotate to the lock position in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction based on your door handing, not both.

See the User Guide for additional information.

Definitions

• MASTER CODE: Required for programming and feature settings. Can be used to unlock the door under Away Mode. The default master code must be changed before programming.
• AUTO LOCK: Automatically locks the deadbolt 30 seconds after unlocking. This feature can be set to a delay between 10 and 99 seconds.

Entering the master code on the keypad can disable the alarm and Away Mode.
• ONE TIME USER CODE: This code can only be used once and is automatically deleted when used.
