Step 1: Removing Existing Lock
Before installing your Weiser Halo‚ you must remove your existing lockset – including the deadbolt‚ strike plate‚ and all associated hardware․ Utilize a screwdriver to detach the interior and exterior portions of the old lock․ Carefully disconnect any wiring if present‚ noting its configuration for potential reuse․
Once removed‚ inspect the door and frame for any damage․ Ensure the door edge is clean and smooth to accommodate the new bolt and strike plate․ Verify the backset measurement (distance from the door edge to the center of the bore hole) matches the Weiser Halo’s compatibility requirements․ Discard the old lockset components responsibly‚ preparing the door for the new smart lock installation process․
Step 2: Installing the Bolt and Strike Plate
Begin by inserting the new Weiser Halo bolt into the door’s bore hole‚ ensuring it extends and retracts smoothly․ Next‚ attach the exterior and interior portions of the strike plate to the door frame‚ aligning it precisely with the bolt․ Secure the strike plate using the provided screws; longer screws may be necessary for reinforced frames․
