/8” (60mm) or 23/4” (70mm) and

crease along the line marked door edge and tape it to the door.

Mark the holes to be drilled according to your template. Mark the

center line of the door edge on the center line of the deadbolt.
Now apply the template to the other side of the door, aligning it
with your first mark in the middle of the door edge.

Keeping the drill level and square to the door, drill holes from

both sides to avoid splintering of the door face.

Mark a central point on the ‘center line of deadbolt’ on the
door edge.
Mark the depth of 3

1

/2” (90mm) on the drill bit with tape to act as

keeping the drill level and square to the door.

Put the deadbolt into the hole, and with the edges parallel to the

avoid splitting prior to chiselling a

OUTSIDE KNOB LOCKING ACTIONMORTISE DEADBOLT CONTENTS

TEMPLATE

Viewed from outside, a door is right handed if the hinges are
on the right, and left handed if the hinges are on the left.

CHECK THE HAND OF YOUR DOOR

Before commencing installation check that all parts are
working correctly – press the code according to the code
card and then the knob should turn and return easily under
spring pressure. If you have a key override lock try the keys
to ensure that they turn in the knob handle.
If you intend to change the code, you should do it, if it is
convenient, before installing the lock – see the code change
instructions in the separate leaflet.
Check that the deadbolt moves freely by turning the flat
spindle in the cam.
From outside the code is required both to lock and unlock the

bolt. If you would like to be able to lock your door from outside
WITHOUT using the code then refer to Outside Knob Locking
Action instruction.

You are advised to familiarise yourself with the
instructions before starting work.

SPECIAL NOTES

To enable LOCKING of the bolt from the outside,
without entering the code.

NB – Your door is Right Handed if, from outside,
the hinges are on the right.

When installing the
lock make sure that
the driver is in the
correct position
before installing the
spindle.

Press the C button to reset the chamber and place the lock

case on a flat surface with the buttons down.

Remove the code chamber plate held in place with the two

red screws.
With the tweezers remove the right-hand pin for right handed
doors, or the left-hand pin for left handed doors.

Replace the cover plate.
The outside knob will now feel loose and turn freely in one
direction, and will require the code to be used before it will turn

in the other direction.

Leave this pin
for left handed doors
