We’ve included everything you need to get Lockitron
Bolt set up.
If your door has difculty closing easily or problems
locking due to misalignment, you’ll want to diagnose
and remedy those issues for best Lockitron Bolt
performance. A metal le can be useful to relieve mild
cases of poor alignment.
While not required, a piece of painters tape can be
helpful to hold your lock cylinder in place during
installation.

Any deadbolt is easily swapped with Lockitron Bolt. You
can verify compatibility at lockitron.com/compatibility.
IS LOCKITRON BOLT COMPATIBLE?
Interconnected locks need to be entirely
removed and a replacement door handle
will need to be installed (not included).
Mortise locks are not drop-in compatible
with Lockitron Bolt. To install Lockitron
Bolt you will need to drill a new hole.
5

Most deadbolts have two Phillips head screws holding
the thumb turn in place (some might have an
additional set of two screws under the thumb turn
which also need to be removed).
1. UNSCREW THUMB TURN
A few deadbolts require an Allen Key
(also known as a hex key) to remove
the thumb turn.
Remove the two screws holding the thumb turn in
place. Hold the front of the lock while doing this to
prevent it from falling out.
6

Remove the old lock cylinder from the front of your door.
Tip: Certain models of Schlage deadbolts can be adapt-
ed to work with the internal portion of Lockitron Bolt. Use
all included Lockitron Bolt components except for the
cylinder and thumb turn screws which you should re-use
from your Schlage lock.
See “Tips and Troubleshooting” for information on using a
Schlage cylinder.
2. REMOVE OLD CYLINDER
7

3. REMOVE EXISTING LATCH
Remove the two screws holding the latch in place.
Depending on how your latch was originally installed, it
may or may not slide out easily.
Tip: If your old latch is difcult to remove, you can use
the screwdriver to carefully pull it out.
To do so, slide the shaft of the screwdriver through one of
the two highlighted holes. Then slowly and carefully pull
on both sides of the screwdriver towards the edge of the
door to slide the latch out.
8

You should now be all set to install Lockitron Bolt! If
your door’s holes (or “prep”) don’t appear similar to the
one above, you might need to make adjustments.
Tip: If your old latch had rounded corners, as shown
above, you might need to use a hammer and chisel to
remove a small amount of material and square off the
recess.
Certain older style or Canadian locks might require addi-
tional chiseling - please contact [e-mail]
for more help with this.
4. VERIFY DOOR PREP
9

On the frame of your door, locate
and remove your existing strike
plate.
5. REMOVE EXISTING STRIKE PLATE
10

Screw in the new strike plate.
Tip: Strike plate alignment is very important to ensure
that Lockitron Bolt locks and unlocks smoothly.
If you have signicant weather stripping, you might need
to pull your door closed to ensure Lockitron Bolt can lock
and unlock properly.
Minor alignment issues can be overcome by using a
metal le on the inside edges of the strike plate where
it contacts the latch.
6. INSTALL NEW STRIKE PLATE
11

With the latch in the unlocked position and the arrow
pointing up, slide it into the side of the door prep and
screw into place.
Looking through the door prep, verify that the cross of
the latch is centered vertically in the prep. If the cross
is not centered, you will need to adjust the latch.
7. INSTALL NEW TAPERED LATCH
1Grip both ends of latch
2Twist then pull to extend
3Twist to lock into place
12

Before installing the lock cylinder the latch should be in
the unlocked position.
Make sure the tailpiece is rotated fully counter-clock-
wise if you’re installing Bolt on the right hand side of the
door (“right handed”, shown above) or fully clockwise
if you’re install Bolt on the left side of the door (“left
handed”).
Slide the tailpiece through the cross in the latch.
8. HOLD LOCK CYLINDER IN PLACE
13

Holding the cylinder in place, make sure that the key-
hole is at the bottom of the cylinder.
Once in the right position, we recommend using a piece
of painters tape to hold the cylinder in place.
9. VERIFY LOCK CYLINDER ALIGNMENT
14

Place the mounting plate over the tailpiece on the
inside of the door. Feed the mounting plate screws
through the plate, latch and into the cylinder.
Make sure both screws catch in the cylinder before fully
tightening. Be careful not to over tighten screws.
10. INSTALL MOUNTING PLATE
Tip: Look straight through the
screw and latch holes to align
the cylinder holes correctly. The
screws need to pass through
the latch holes in order to
secure in the cylinder holes.
15

Turn the tailpiece to lock and unlock the latch to ensure
that your tailpiece alignment is correct. If not, return to
step 6.
11. VERIFY LOCK TAILPIECE ALIGNMENT
Tip: When looking at the door
straight on from the edge, make
sure that the front cylinder and
mounting plate are level.
If not, loosen the mounting plate
screws a little and adjust.
16

With the latch in the unlocked position, match
Lockitron Bolt’s thumb turn to the correct direction.
Install the two mounting screws for Lockitron Bolt.
Tip: If you’re installing Bolt on the right side of the door
(“right handed” as shown above), the thumb turn should
be turned fully counter-clockwise.
If you’re installing Bolt on the left side of the door (“left
handed”), Lockitron Bolt’s thumb turn should be turned
fully clockwise.
12. INSTALL LOCKITRON BOLT
17

Insert each battery above the battery ribbon in the
alternating directions indicated. The battery ribbon can
be used to easily and quickly remove all the batteries.
After inserting the last battery you should hear a boot
up chime from Lockitron Bolt.
Tip: If you install the batteries without the ribbon behind
them, we recommend using the screwdriver to carefully
pry the batteries out. The batteries are tightly secured
into place so that they won’t pop out even if the door is
slammed.
13. INSTALL BATTERIES
18

If your door is right-handed (shown) and Bolt is mount-
ed on the right side of the door, press and hold the right
button for three seconds until you hear a beep.
Alternatively if your door is left-handed (Bolt is mount-
ed on the left side of the door), press and hold the left
button.
Tip: When handedness is set correctly, quickly pressing
the left button will lock the door and pressing the right
button will unlock the door.
14. SET HANDEDNESS
19

Slide the battery cover on, ensuring that the tab at the
bottom slots into Lockitron Bolt.
Turn Lockitron Bolt by hand with the door closed and
and verify that the latch is not catching on anything. If
it “sticks” or is obstructed, review the troubleshooting
tips on page 24.
You’re now ready to set up Bolt in the Lockitron app
(and you’ve nearly completed set up!).
15. SLIDE BATTERY COVER INTO PLACE
