G'day mate! If you're looking to increase the security and convenience of your home or business, fitting a digital push lock that's the right colour is a great option. These handy devices allow you to secure your doors with the push of a button, and with a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, they're easy to install yourself. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fit a digital push lock:
Step 1: Gather your materials. You'll need a digital push lock, screws, a drill, a drill bit, a screwdriver, a tape measure, and a pencil.
Step 2: Using the template supplied, measure the door. Measure the thickness of the door and the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the hole for the lock cylinder. This will help you make sure you get the right size digital push lock for your door.
Step 3: Mark the location for the digital push lock. Using the template use a pencil to mark the spot where the lock will go on the door edge.
Step 4: Drill a hole for the digital push lock latch. Using a drill and a spade bit, drill the holes as marked on the template.
Step 5: Install the latch into the door. Ensure the latch sits flush with the edge of the door.
Step 6: Insert the correct lock spindle and attach the handles to the outside of the door. Fix the handles with the large screws supplied.
Step 7: Install the strike plate. Install the strike plate on the door frame, aligning it with the digital push lock. Secure the strike plate in place using screws.
Step 8: Test the digital push lock again. Test the digital push lock again to make sure it's properly secured and functioning correctly.
And there you have it! With a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, you can easily fit a digital push lock like a true blue Aussie. Just remember, if you're not sure about any part of the process, it's always best to consult with a professional locksmith for assistance.
