Please note: the door will need to remain open until the full installation is complete. 3 Remove the cylinder by taking out the cylinder screw beneath the bolt – you may need to insert and turn your key to enable the cylinder to be removed. 4 Measure the thickness of the door, and the distance between the centre of the lock and the inside of the door to determine which fixing pack to use. Select between the short or long tailbar from the fixing pack using the measurement from the centre of lock to the inside door, and push the chosen tailbar into the actuator up to three clicks depending on the door measurement. Insert the actuator into the door, ensuring the cam is within the housing. If the cam isn’t in the housing, use the end of the tailbar to push down the pin, which will allow you to put the cam into the housing. 5 6 Loosely secure the actuator in place using the screw provided.
