Older schlage deadbolt installation
If you are stuck in the middle of schlage lock installation process then here is my quick step by step guideline for you
Before installing your Schlage smart lock, remove your old lock from the door. This is a quick and easy process that should take less than 10 minutes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the old lock in place.
Once you remove the old lock, clean the area around the door and get it ready for the new Schlage smart lock.
Next, install the Schlage smart lock. To begin, insert the deadbolt into the door, ensuring that the latch is properly aligned.
After inserting the deadbolt, screw the mounting plate into place using the included screws.
Ensure that the mounting plate is level and properly aligned with the deadbolt.
Next, insert the batteries into the battery compartment.
The Schlage smart lock uses four AA batteries, which should last for up to six months.
Once the batteries are installed, attach the exterior keypad to the mounting plate using the included screws.
Finally, attach the interior cover to the mounting plate using the included screws.
After installing the Schlage smart lock, it’s time to set it up. Begin by downloading the Schlage mobile app, which is available for free on the App Store and Google Play.
Once you have downloaded the app, create a Schlage account. This account is required to set up the lock and will allow you to remotely control your lock.
Next, add the Schlage smart lock to your account by following the instructions in the app. This typically involves scanning the HomeKit code with your phone’s camera.
If your phone cannot find the lock, try tapping your phone to the lock instead. You will glad to find the NFC chip inside the lock, this should help speed up the setup process.
