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 keyhole in place when you
remove the thumb-latch on the inside of the door.

Step 2:
Remove your existing
thumb-latch.
Position your thumb-latch so that you can unscrew
the existing screws on your deadbolt.
Remove the screws entirely from the deadbolt and
keep them to assist in the next step.
Your thumb-latch may include an additional back
plate underneath it. If so, remove the back plate. Use
the back plate and the longer screws for the next step.

Step 3a:
Select the correct
mounting plate.
Insert the existing screws in the thumb-latch to
help you choose the correct mounting plate. If there
was a back plate under your thumb-latch, insert the
screws into this back plate instead of the thumb-latch.
Slide the mounting plates onto the screws one at
a time until you find a mounting plate that allows the
screws to fit straight through the holes.

Step 5:
Position adapter and
align mounting plate.
Remove the tape from the key hole, and use your key
to turn your deadbolt to the fully unlocked position.
If your lock was not in the Compatibility Chart, select
the adapter that matches your tail piece. To do this, slide
each adapter onto the tail piece. The correct adapter
will have the small nub pointing up.
Place the correct adapter onto the tail piece with
the small nub pointing up, and tighten the two screws.
(Do not over-tighten.)
