While installing or using the Aegis door lock, please avoid turning the Aegis door lock too fast or with too much force, or it may cause irreversible damage to the motor.

(1) Fix the deadbolt in place

Use the adhesive strip in the box to fix the exterior (outdoor) part of the deadbolt, in order to prevent it from falling when the thumbturn is removed.

(2) Remove the thumbturnMake sure that the deadbolt is in locked position. Unscrew both screws and remove the thumbturn from the deadbolt. Keep the screws handy for the next step. If there is an additional plate, remove it as well.

(3) Remove the base plateOpen the latches to remove the base plate

(4) Place the base plate over the deadboltInsert the two screws into the screw holes from the front of the base plate. Match both screws to the screw holes on the deadbolt. Please make sure that the base plate’s back side is against the door, i.e. the bottom part of the base plate should be flush with the door.

(5) Mount the base plateAdjust the base plate so that the tailpiece goes through its center hole. Tighten the screws to fix the base plate on the door. Please do not over-tighten the screws as it may damage the door.

(6) Select the correct adapterA. If the deadbolt has an arch-shaped tailpiece, please use the arch-shaped adapter.

B. If the deadbolt has a thick, rectangular tailpiece that is upright or level while the door is locked, please use the shorter and thicker rectangular adapter.

C. If the deadbolt has a thin tailpiece that is upright or level while the door is locked, please use the “+” shaped adapter.

D. If the deadbolt has a thin tailpiece that is angled while the door is locked, please use the angled rectangular adapter. Select the correct adapter based on your dead bolt’s tailpiece. If the adapter fits the tailpiece but does not fit in Aegis’s motor, flip the adapter and try again. Place the adapter on the tailpiece.

(7) Check the deadbolt’s locking directionLooking out from inside of the door, if the bolt is at the left side of the door, then it locks counterclockwise; if the bolt is at the right side, then it locks clockwise.

(8) Turn Aegis to the locked positionIf the deadbolt locks counterclockwise, gently turn Aegis counterclockwise till the end; if the deadbolt locks clockwise, gently turn Aegis clockwise till the end. Note: Stop turning once you feel a strong friction turning further. Do not force-turn Aegis as it may cause severe damage to the motor.

(9) Install AegisMake sure that the door remains locked. Open both latches on the back of Aegis, and mount Aegis on the base plate. Make sure that the adapter fits in the motor, and there is no gap between the base plate and Aegis. Finally, close the latches so that Aegis is secured on the base plate.

(10) Power on AegisTake off Aegis’s front cover, and insert 4 AA batteries into the battery slots. After that, you should see a white light flash once, indicating that Aegis is powered on. Then, place the front cover back.
