is determined with the door in the closed position,
from the exterior or pushbutton side of the door.
A) Right Hand Door. Door opens inward
(push). Hinged on the right side.
B) eft Hand Door. Door opens inward
(push). Hinged on the left side.
C) Right Hand Reverse Door. Door opens

B. MARKING THE TEMPLATE AND DRILLING THE D R
B-1 Find and remove the template from the installation manual. Carefully fold
along the dotted line that matches the backset the application requires.
B-2 From the exterior (or push button side) of the
door, place the dotted line of the template
along the edge of the door.
B-3 Carefully mark the 3 holes on the template
(2 mounting holes and 1 spindle hole.
B-4 Drill the 3 holes, making sure to drill
them straight.
C. INSTALLING THE LATCH
C-1 Using the center line of the latch (marked on template), mark the point
where the cross bore for the latch should be drilled.
C-2 Drill a 1" (25 mm) diameter hole, 3 3⁄4" (96mm) deep, on that center point
of the edge of the door.
C-3 Insert the latch into the hole and outline the face of the latch (already
prepped on most metal doors).
C-4 Remove the latch.
C-5 Using a chisel, remove the material 1⁄8" (3 mm) deep from the door for
the faceplate of the latch (already prepped on most metal doors).
C-6 Reinsert the latch and install the latch using the mounting screws provided.

6
D. INSTALLING THE SPINDLE
D-1 For doors ranging in thickness from 1 3⁄8"
(35 mm) to 1 7⁄8" (48 mm) use the shorter
spindle (supplied) and align as shown.
D-2 For doors ranging in thickness from 2"
(51 mm) to 2 1⁄2” (64 mm) use the longest
spindle (supplied) and align as shown.
D-3 Make sure the spindle matches the picture
shown depending on the hand of the lock.
E. INSTALLING THE L CK
E-1 Place the rubber gaskets around the lock
body with the lock body sitting into the
recessed portion of the gasket. Assure
the holes in the back of the lock and the
gasket match.
E-2 If using the cover plates (supplied), an
additional hole must be drilled in the cover
plates before the installation continues
(See back of cover plate).
E-3 Once additional hole has been drilled, place the cover plate on the back of
the lock between the gasket and the door.
E-4 For doors ranging in thickness from 1 3⁄8”( 35 mm) to 1 5⁄8”( 41 mm), use
the shorter mounting screws (supplied) and align as shown
E-5 For doors ranging in thickness from 1 3⁄4" (44 mm) to 2” (51 mm), use the
medium mounting screws (supplied) and align as shown.
E-6 For doors ranging in thickness from 2 1⁄8" (54 mm) to 2 1⁄2” (64 mm), use
the longest mounting screws (supplied) and align as shown.
Note: If cover plates are used, it may be necessary to use the next size
screw to mount the lock.
E-7 Hold the outside and inside units on the door with the spindle in the
proper position.
E-8 Finger-tighten the (2) mounting screws, assuring the lock is vertical and
sitting flush against the door.

E-9 Before final tightening, make sure the code works and all features on the
unit work as intended.
Note: Do not close the door until the lock has been tested and you are
confident it works properly.
E-10 Tighten the mounting screws firmly, being careful not to over tighten the
screws, as this may cause the lock to function poorly or not at all.
F. INSTALLING THE STRIKE PLATE
F-1 Push the door nearly shut to locate the center line of the latch bolt. Mark
the center line on the door frame.
F-2 Using the strike, align the center of the strike opening with the center just
marked.
Make sure to account for any weather stripping or door stop if necessary.
F-3 Carefully trace the outside profile of the strike. Also trace the latch hole in
the strike.
F-4 Using a chisel, carefully remove approximately 1⁄16”
(1 mm) deep worth of material from the traced area
(already prepped on most metal doors). The latch face
plate should sit flush with the edge of the door.
F-5 Drill or cut a recess in the door frame for the latch bolt
in the center of the strike latch hole, traced earlier.
F-6 Place the strike into the newly chiseled area, making sure it sits flush and
there are no obstructions in the latch hole of the strike (remove any
obstructions or debris).
F-7 Install the strike plate with 2 screws provided.
“deadlatch”
“latchbolt”
N TE: The dead-latch must not fall into
the latch hole. The dead-latch protects
against manipulation of the latch bolt. If
the dead-latch is able to fall into the latch
hole, remove the strike and reposition it so
this condition does not happen.

G. CHANGING THE C DE
G-1 Remove the lock from the door.
G-2 Remove the 4 retaining (red) screws from
the back of the outside unit assembly. Take
extra care to keep the outside unit assembly on a flat surface when you
are removing the cover plate because there are many small components
inside.
G-3 You will now see that there are 5 red color coded tumblers and 8 blue col-
ored un-coded tumblers, plus 1 clear tumbler (‘C’ button).
G-4 To change your code, hold the outside unit assembly with the push-buttons
facing down. Press the “C” button and
hold it.
G-5 Using the tweezers supplied (or small
needle nose pliers), you can easily
remove one or more of the coded and
un-coded tumblers.
G-6 Please note the different shapes of the
tumblers before reinserting them into
the lock body. There is a difference in
shape between the coded and un-coded
tumblers as illustrated. When refitting
the tumblers into the lock body, they must be fitted facing the correct way
as show in the illustration.
G-7 After you have refitted the tumblers and made a note of the new code,
replace the metal cover plate with the 4 screws.

Note: The red tumblers represent coded
digits and the blue tumblers
represent non-coded digits.
Note: NEVER remove the ‘C’ tumbler.
Note: All square cutouts must face outwards. The bump on the tumbler
(either color) must fall into the machined slot.
Note: With the spare tumblers provided, you can either increase the num-
ber of digits in your code to 6-7, or reduce to 3-4.

J. TR UBLE SH TING
Installation Issues:
?The latch cannot be withdrawn when entering the code
The lock has been fitted to a left-hand hung door
All locks were set to fit right-hand hung doors. The lock needs to be
removed from the door and reversed. Refer to instructions.
?Both the inside and outside lever retract when turned towards the door frame.
The spindle is in position at the wrong angle.
Remove the lock from the door, and reposition the spindles as shown in the
instructions.
?The lever will not turn after entering a new code.
One or more of the code tumblers are turned the wrong way
Re-read the code change instructions and check that the red tumblers are
all facing with the square notches facing outward.
?The latch bolt does not move smoothly in or out.
The lock is not installed correctly.
Check that the lock is square on the door and positioned accurately over
the latch. Check that the latch is positioned horizontally and parallel to the
door surface. Check the spindle length. It may be trapped between the
front and back plate if the spindle is too long.
?The outside lever turns after entering a correct code, but does not retract
the latch.
The spindle is too short for the door thickness.
If the spindle is too short, then it will not engage with both the outside lever
and the inside lever at the same time. It may also slip out of one side after
some use.
Post-Installation Issues:
?The outside lever turns freely without retracting the bolt.
The lever has been forcibly turned.
Return the lock. Someone may have tried to force the lever to gain entry.
?The inside lever handle does not return to the horizontal after operating.
The lever return spring is broken.
Call the help line for a replacement
?The latch does not engage. The door remains unlocked after use.
The latch is not entering the strike.
Your door or frame may have warped since the lock was installed. Check
that the latch bolt is lined up with the strike aperture. Realign the position
of the strike as necessary. Make sure the deadlatch does not enter the
latch hole of the strike.
