1. Check the 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.
2. Check door/frame dimensions
Measure the dimensions shown. If your door dimensions do not match, you will need to change your door preparation.
If your door is thicker than 1 3/4”, you will need a thick door kit. Please call Customer Service at 1-888-805-9837.
Mark your crossbore and backset measurements on this page. You will need these measurements for installation. Either measurement is normal.
3. Install bolt and strike
3a Adjust bolt length, if necessary.
- If the backset (see step 2) of your door was 2 3/8” (60 mm), you do not need to do anything. Proceed to step 3b.
- If the backset (see step 2) of your door was 2 3/4” (70 mm), you need to adjust your bolt. Twist the faceplate until the button pops into the 2 3/4” space.
3b Change the faceplate, if necessary.
In step 3c, your installation will depend on which kind of door edge you have.
3c Install the bolt into the door.
3d Install the strike into the frame.
Install all the parts shown for maximum security.
In order to maintain BHMA Grade 2, you must install the included reinforcement plate and strike.
The reinforcement screws may not fit on doors with sidelights.
4. Install the Touchscreen Assembly
4a Install the Touchscreen on the outside of the door.
The clips snap into the crossbore (see step 2) to assist in holding the keypad on the door.
The Touchscreen Assembly should install smoothly. If it does not, check that the bolt is set to the correct backset (see step 2).
NOTE: If you have a crossbore (see step 2) that is slightly less than 2 1/8” (54 mm), the lock may not install smoothly. You can remove the spacer. Always remove the spacer for a 1 1/2” (38 mm) crossbore.
4b Install the Support Plate on the inside of the door.
Make sure the Touchscreen and Support Plate are straight on the door before tightening the screws. Tighten screws fully to prevent the lock from moving over time.
5. Install the Inside Assembly
5a Remove the battery cover from the Inside Assembly.
Do not remove the battery tray (not shown).
5b Connect the cable to the Inside Assembly.
Locate the screws in step 5d before beginning this step so they will be handy when you need them.
5c Install the Inside Assembly.
- Align the tab with the notch as shown.
- Route the cable into the channel.
- Then slide the Inside Assembly towards the door.
5d Secure the Inside Assembly to the Support Plate.
6. Install the Batteries
6a Install the batteries into the battery tray.
1. Unsnap the connector.
2. Remove the battery tray.
3. Install four fresh, high-quality alkaline AA batteries.
Lithium batteries may cause undesired operation, and are not recommended.
4. Carefully replace the battery tray, with the batteries facing the door.
5. Snap the connector back into place.
6b Install the battery cover.
7. Set up the Lock
- Open the door if it is not already open.
- Press the Schlage button first to enable the backlight.
- Enter one of the Default User Codes into the lock (see front of instructions).
- The lock will perform a setup routine. Wait until the bolt stops moving before continuing.
If the Touchscreen did not light up during this step, you may have a power problem. Install fresh batteries and make sure the battery wires are connected (see step 6).
8. Test the Lock
8a Extend the bolt (lock) using the inside thumbturn.
- Close the door.
- Rotate the thumbturn toward the door jamb to extend the bolt.
Was this operation smooth?
- YES: Continue to Step 8b.

Did the bolt extend (is the door locked)?
- NO: You need to adjust your door/frame. Go to answers.schlage.com for adjustment instructions.

- NO: Alignment is correct.
- YES: The lock has both a low power and high power mode. It will try low power first and then high power when unsuccessful. After three times using high power, it will always use the high power mode instead of trying twice each time.
