Step 2: Check the Door Opening Direction & Adjust the Smart Deadbolt Lock’s Key Nail

To ensure the right installation of the deadbolt door lock, it is necessary to determine the door opening direction.

You could determine the door opening direction through the door fixing method. If you see the door from the outside and find the door's front body is fixed on the right side of the door frame, the door opening direction is the right side. Whereas the door is fixed on the left side of the door frame, the door opening direction is the left.

Then you accordingly turn the smart deadbolt door lock's toggle button to the Right or Left.

 

Step 3: Install the Deadbolt Latch Set

Insert the retracted deadbolt latch set into the door edge hole with the word “UP” and the arrow on the extension plate facing UP. And, the cross-shaped spindle connector should be at the bottom of the deadbolt latch set.

Ensure the face plate sits flush with the door. Notice: do not force the latch into the mortise flush.

Screw two provided “ST3.5*20” to fix the latch into the door with the use of the handheld screwdriver. Tips: Don’t over-tighten the screwing.

 

Step 4: Combine the Front Body with the Front Rubber Pad & Fix it on the Door

 

Step 5: Make The Key Nail Piece Go Through the Deadbolt and the Cable Through the Door Hole

Step 6: Rotate The Key Nail Piece to Test If the Deadbolt Works Smoothly

Step 7: Check the Cable position and Fix the Front Body

Make sure the cable is held the position near the mounting plate. Then fix the front body of the digital deadbolt lock with 2 screws (M4*30). The ST3.5*20 screw also is available.

Insert the cable into the wire connector, and ensure the cable is installed properly and securely. Insert the key nail piece into the hole in which the back of the thumb turns

Step 10: Fix the Back Body to the Mounting Plate with Three Screws

Step 11: Correctly Place the Batteries and Close the Battery Cover
