Schlage BE468 series User manual

The deadbolt included is preconfigured to fit a
standard door frame.
Note your 6 digit programming code located on a sticker on
inside of your lock (alarm assembly) before you begin
installation. This may be needed for panel pairing if this unit
was not purchased as a part of your primary system order.
When tightening any screws, be sure to make sure that
no parts move by hand once tightened.
Be sure not to over tighten any screws. This can
prevent the deadbolt from moving freely.

REQUIRED TOOLS

LOCK COMPONENT
TERMINOLOGY

Because the bolt on this lock is extended automatically,
it is important that the door and frame are aligned.
Use this checklist to determine if your current
alignment will work without any adjustment.
I can lock the door without pushing, pulling or lifting
the door.
My door alignment— the ability to lock the door easily
and smoothly— stays the same with changing seasons.
When the door is closed, there is space for the
deadbolt to extend 1” into the frame when locked.
If you could not check every box in the checklist, you
will need to adjust your door and/or frame. Please
visit answers.schlage.com for more information.
STEP 1
CHECK THE CURRENT
DOOR/FRAME ALIGNMENT

Measure the dimension shown in the image below
(standard dimensions). If your door dimensions do not
match, you will need to change your door preparation.
STEP 2
CHECK DOOR/FRAME
DIMENSIONS
If your door is thicker than 1 ¾”, you will need a thick
door kit. Please call Schlage Customer Service at
1-888-805-9837.
Mark your crossbore and backset measurements
on the next page. You will need these measurements
for installation. Either measurement example on the
next page is normal.

STEP 3
3a: Adjust bolt length if necessary.
Note: the bolt is preconfigured to fit the standard door
dimensions mentioned in STEP 2. If your door matched
the measurements in STEP 2, you do not need to adjust
the length.
INSTALL BOLT AND STRIKE
If the backset (see step 2) of your door was 2 ¾”
(70 mm), you need to adjust your bolt. Twist the
faceplate until the button pops into the 2 ¾” space.

3b: Change the faceplate if necessary.
Note: The faceplate is currently preconfigured to fit
the standard door frame. If your door matches the
measurements in STEP 2, you can move on to step 3c.

3c: Install the bolt into the door.
Choose the picture below that matches your door
IMPORTANT!
Retract the bolt before continuing to step 3c!
