Step 1: Prepare existing deadbolt. Affix 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 thumblatch 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.
Step 2: Remove your existing thumb-latch. A 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. After removing the screws, be sure to unlock your deadbolt before removing the thumb-latch. B 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 3: Select the correct mounting plate and adapter. If you know the brand of your deadbolt, please select the correct mounting plate and adapter from the Compatibility Chart on the next page, and then go to Step 4 (page 18). If not, go to Step 3a (page 16) to find the correct mounting plate and adapter. If your tailpiece is in a vertical position when the door is unlocked, you will need to remove the keyhole and rotate it so the tailpiece is in a horizontal position before you install.

Step 3a: Select the correct mounting plate. A 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. B 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. Having trouble selecting the right mounting plate?
