3 Check current door/frame alignment.

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.

4 Remove the current deadbolt from the door.

Remove the entire deadbolt, including the bolt. You may also want to remove the strike.

» In order to maintain BHMA Grade 1, you must install the included reinforcement plate and strike (see step 7d on page 7).» A standard Schlage deadbolt is shown. Check with your specific deadbolt manufacturer if you need help.
