Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware installer. Before servicing, ensure the door is secured in an open position and the existing lock hardware is fully disengaged. Follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines when replacing or installing deadbolt latch components. Do not force the latch into an undersized bore — verify door prep dimensions match the latch specifications before installation.
