G'day mate! If you're looking to increase the security and convenience of your home or business, fitting a digital push lock is a great option. A brass plaque will also make people look twice. 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. You should not need an electric strike
Step 2: 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. Hold the digital push lock against the door and 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. Using a drill and a drill bit, drill a hole through the door edge at the marked location. The hole should be slightly larger than the diameter of the digital push lock cylinder.
Step 5: Install the digital push lock. Hold the digital push lock against the door and insert the lock cylinder through the hole. Secure the lock in place using the screws provided.
Step 6: Test the digital push lock. Test the digital push lock to make sure it's properly secured and functioning correctly. If needed, make any necessary adjustments.
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.
