Installation Guide
What’s in the box
What you’ll need to provide

1. Prepare your existing deadbolt
Use the supplied adhesive strip to hold the keyed side of the lock in place.

2. Remove your existing thumbturn
Unscrew and remove the screws from your existing deadbolt thumbturn. If there is an
additional back plate, remove that as well. Be sure to unlock your deadbolt before
removing the thumbturn entirely.

3. Prepare the Mounting Plate
The included mounting plate has two adjustable screw-holes that can be repositioned as
needed. Remove the screws from the thumbturn and insert them into the front of the
mounting plate.

4. Attach the Mounting Plate
Tighten the screws by hand until the mounting plate is secured against the door.

5. Choose your adapter

Select your adapter from the Compatibility Chart above.
(If your lock brand is not in the chart, slide each adapter onto the tailpiece to find the right
one. The correct adapter will have one of the nubs pointing up.)

6. Attach the Correct Adapter
Place the correct adapter onto the tail piece. One of the triangle shaped nubs should
facing up if you have the correct adapter.

7. Rotate to unlocked position
Rotate the thumbturn all the way to the unlocked position, which may take some moderate
force. The direction you turn will depend on which side of the door your deadbolt is on.

8. Open the wing latches
Pull out both side wing latches to prepare for mounting.

9. Attach the August Smart Lock
Before placing the August Smart Lock on the door, ensure the thumbturn is in the correct
unlocked position.
Slide the August Smart Lock over the tailpiece and attach it to the mounting plate. Make
sure the back of the lock is flush with the door. To secure the August Smart Lock, clamp
down both side wing latches to the mounting plate completely.

10. Remove the faceplate
Slide the top of the front face upwards to remove the battery compartment cover.

11. Remove the battery tab
While holding the batteries in place, remove the clear plastic battery isolation tab on the
left side. Make sure that the battery is properly seated in its compartment.
NOTE: Avoid pulling the longer gray tab, as it will remove all of the batteries.

12. Replace the faceplate
Place the faceplate back onto the August Smart Lock over the batteries until it clicks into
place.

13. Install DoorSense™
DoorSense™ enables your lock to know when the door is open and closed. For
instructions on installing DoorSense™, please see: DoorSense™ Installation Guide for
August Smart Lock
14. Use the August Home app to complete setup
Download and install the August Home app. Select "Get Started" from the home screen,
or, if already logged in to the app, select "Set Up a Lock" from the main menu.
