Installation Instructions

1. Door Measurements

Ensure your door measurements are compatible with the lock specifications:

• Standard door hole diameter: 2-1/8" (54 mm)
• Backset options: 2-3/8" (70 mm) or 2-3/4" (60 mm)
• Door edge hole: 1" (25mm)
• Door thickness: 1-3/8" to 2" (35 mm to 50 mm)

2. Adjust Latch Backset

Backset: The distance from the door edge to the center of the hole on the door face.

• For 2-3/4" (70mm) backset, rotate the latch to extend it.
• For 2-3/8" (60mm) backset, no adjustment is needed.

3. Install the Latch

Insert the latch into the door edge and secure it. Do not overtighten screws.

4. Install Strike on the door frame

Attach the strike plate to the door frame using the provided screws. Ensure the hole in the door frame is at least 1" (25mm) deep.

5. Check Alignment

With the door closed, verify that the latch aligns with the strike plate. Ensure the deadbolt extends smoothly into the bolt hole without hitting the strike or door frame.

6. Install Keypad Assembly

Mount the keypad assembly on the exterior of the door. Do not insert the physical key until the lock is completely installed.

7. Install Mounting Plate

Attach the mounting plate to the interior side of the door, ensuring it is parallel to the door edge. Secure it with the provided screws. Do not overtighten screws.

8. Install Interior Assembly

• 8a: Do not insert batteries yet.
• 8b: Connect the cable by pushing the connector in firmly until it is completely seated.
• 8c: Ensure the thumbturn is in the vertical position.
• 8d: Connect the cable (G) and the thumbturn (J).
• 8e: Check deadbolt operation by turning the thumbturn back and forth. If it doesn't rotate, repeat steps 8c and 8d, applying more force if necessary.

Detect Door Orientation / Factory Reset

! Always reset your lock after installation. The motor will not operate before completing this step.

9a. Install Batteries

Install 3 AA batteries. Use new, non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries only and do not mix old and new batteries.

9b. Press and Hold Reset Button

Press and hold the Reset button with a pen or paper clip.

9c. Complete Battery Installation and Latch Extension

Place the 4th battery while continuing to hold the reset button until the latch extends. If the latch does not extend within 15 seconds, repeat steps 8c and 9a, ensuring the latch is retracted.

Safety Warnings

• Protect your Master Code.
• Restrict access to your lock's interior assembly and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.
• Proper cleaning and maintenance of your lock ensures it will continue to work as it should.
• Do not apply cleaner or detergent directly to any part of the lock.
• The HuTools lock meets IP54 water-resistance. It can withstand water splashes; however, do not let water and liquids get into the lock.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Long-term exposure to direct sunlight may damage the lock.
• The temperature range of the HuTools lock is between -4°F to 129°F.

Troubleshooting

Solutions:

• A: The latch and strike are misaligned, causing the latch to bind. Adjust the position of the strike plate on the latch bolt. Make sure you reset the lock with the door opened. Do not overtighten screws.
• B: Clear residual charge: remove all batteries and unplug power cable wire; press random buttons on the keypad for one minute; let the lock sit for 2 minutes, before reconnecting the cable and reinstalling batteries.
• C: Slightly loosen the screws (H and I) that secure the latch bolt and exterior keypad.
• D: Remove the lock from the door and reassemble the lock by holding all the parts together with your hands. Reset your lock and enter your code to see if the lock works.
• E: Repeat (Step 9) for factory reset. Make sure to reset it properly. Once the reset is completed, all codes and settings will be erased, and the master code will return to the default value (12345678).
• F: Door handing is the same as factory reset. Your lock has restored to factory default. Re-program your codes.
• G: Six rapid beeps indicate entry error or time out. Check your master code and code format.
• H: Remove and re-install the whole lock, making sure that the thumbturn is vertical and the lock is in the unlock position when installing. Do not insert the backup key when installing.
• I: Make sure the cable is properly connected. Change the batteries with 4 fresh AA standard alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.
• J: Make sure the bolt hole on the door frame is at least 1 inch deep so the bolt fully extends. Check if the door closes properly. Make sure when the deadbolt is extended, it is going into the bolt hole and not hitting the deadbolt strike or door frame. Check for loose door hinges.
