1. Prepare the Door and Check Dimensions
A. Compatibility Check
Ensure your door is compatible. A compatible door typically has a standard deadbolt mounted separately from the handle below it.
Compatible: [Standard deadbolt setup]
Not Compatible: [Rim Lock, Mortise Lock]
B. Door Hole Diameter
Measure the hole in the door. It should be either 2-1/8" (54 mm) or 1-1/2" (38 mm).
Note: Additional door preparation may be required for doors with 1-1/2" (38 mm) holes. Consult kwikset.com/doorprep.
C. Door Thickness
Measure the door thickness. It should be between 1-3/8" and 2" (35 mm and 51 mm).
D. Backset Measurement
Measure the backset (distance from the edge of the door to the center of the large hole). It should be either 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" (60 or 70 mm).
E. Door Edge Hole
Measure the hole in the door edge. It should be 1" (25 mm).
F. Drilling New Doors
If drilling a new door, use the supplied template and refer to complete door drilling instructions available at kwikset.com/doorprep.

A. Extend the Latch Bolt
Extend the latch bolt by rotating it.
B. Position the Latch
Hold the latch in front of the door hole, with the latch face [flush] against the door edge.
C. Check D-shaped Hole Alignment
Is the D-shaped hole [centered] in the door hole?
YES: No adjustment is required. Proceed to the next step.
NO: [Rotate] the latch face as shown to extend the latch.
D. Install the Latch
Insert the latch into the door hole. Secure it with two screws (03809).
E. Install the Strike
Install the strike on the door frame. Ensure the hole in the door frame is drilled a minimum of 1" (25 mm) deep. Use the longer screws (46780) closest to the door jamb.
3. Install the Exterior Keypad
A. Door Hole Diameter Check
Confirm the door hole diameter (2-1/8" or 1-1/2"). An Adapter Ring is required for 1-1/2" holes; install it on the Exterior Assembly. The Adapter Ring is not needed for 2-1/8" holes.
B. Prepare Mounting Hardware
Locate the screws (48654) for step 3D and keep them within reach.
C. Remove Mounting Plate
Remove the mounting plate from the interior assembly.
D. Install Exterior Keypad and Mounting Plate
Support the exterior assembly during mounting plate installation. Route the cable underneath the latch. Push the cable through the center hole, then into the bottom hole. Ensure the torque blade is [centered] in the mounting plate hole. Keep the assembly parallel to the edge of the door. [Tighten] screws (48654) evenly, but do not overtighten.
E. Test the Latch
Insert the key and test the latch. If it does not extend or retract smoothly, adjust the mounting screws. Remove the key when finished, ensuring the latch bolt is fully extended.
4. Install the Interior Assembly
A. Prepare Interior Assembly
Ensure the turnpiece shaft is pointing up. [Remove] the interior cover and battery pack from the interior assembly. If the turnpiece shaft is pointing down, reattach the cover and [rotate] the turnpiece until it clicks, then remove the cover again.
B. Install Interior Assembly onto Mounting Plate
Align the interior assembly with the mounting plate. Ensure a tight cable connection. Lay the excess cable flat inside the bottom of the interior housing. Secure the assembly using screws (69316). Note: Three remaining screws (69316) and one screw (68611) will be used in Step 7.
5. Install Batteries and Perform Door Handing
This step teaches your lock the door's orientation, crucial for operation.
A. Install Batteries
Install 4 AA batteries (not included) into the battery pack. Ensure correct polarity. Use new, non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries for best results.
B. Initiate Auto-Handing
With the door open, [install] the battery pack to initiate auto-handing.
C. Handing Process
The latch will retract and extend to learn the door's orientation. The latch bolt will only retract halfway.
If the bolt does not move, check battery installation and repeat step 5B.
D. Status LED Indicator
Green (solid): Door handing successful. Proceed.
Red (solid): Door handing unsuccessful. Ensure lock interior and batteries are correctly installed. Repeat step 5B. If still unsuccessful, see Manual Door Handling section on page 4.
6. Test the Lock and Check Door Alignment
