Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician. Ensure the door is in a closed, secure position and that any existing lock hardware is fully disengaged before removing the cylinder. Follow local building codes and the manufacturer's installation instructions when replacing cylinder components. Do not force the cylinder into the housing, as improper seating can compromise lock function and security.
