Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith, general contractor, or experienced DIYer familiar with residential door hardware. Standard residential door prep typically requires a 2.125-inch cross-bore and a 1-inch edge-bore; verify door prep before ordering. Ensure the door is fully closed and the latch operates freely before final screw tightening. SmartKey rekeying should be performed following the manufacturer's rekeying procedure using the SmartKey tool and a functioning key.
