Step 1:
Prepare existing deadbolt.
Ax the supplied adhesive strip over the key
hole, securing it to the exterior side of your door.
This should hold the key hole in place when you
remove the thumb-latch on the inside of the door.
On some doors, such as those with glossy paint, the
included tape may not be strong enough. In this case
you should apply additional stronger tape to ensure
that the key hole stays in place. Use caution. Some
types of tape, such as duct tape, may damage the
paint on certain types of doors.
