Remove the screws from the thumbturn and insert them into the front of the mounting plate. 4. Attach the mounting plate Tighten the screws by hand until the mounting plate is secured against the door.

. Attach the correct adapter Place the correct adapter onto the tail piece. One of the triangle shaped nubs should facing up if you have the correct adapter. 7. Rotate to unlocked position Rotate the thumbturn all the way to the unlocked position, which may take some moderate force. The direction you turn will depend on which side of the door your deadbolt is on.

Attach the August Smart Lock Before placing the August Smart Lock on the door, ensure the thumbturn is in the correct unlocked position.

DoorSense™ Installation Guide for August Smart Lock First, decide how you would like to install DoorSense™. August provides two options for installation: a surface mount and a flush mount installation. The surface mount installation requires the use of a screwdriver only. The flush mount installation will provide a cleaner and less visible look with more robust performance, but does require drilling a 5/8" hole into your door frame.
Surface Mount Installation The DoorSense™ will come partially assembled for the surface mount installation with the magnet enclosure inside the housing and you will only need a screwdriver for this installation.
What you’ll need to provide
1. Determine mounting location For optimal performance, DoorSense™ should be mounted within 1.5 inches from the edge of your door frame, and within 1.5 inches from the bottom of the extended deadbolt. NOTE: If you do not have a flat door frame or you have a perpendicular wall directly next to your door, the Door Sense can be alternatively installed on the perpendicular wall. The deadbolt should still be used as a guide for the recommended height of the DoorSense™ installation.
2. Attach mounting tape Remove one side of the adhesive backing. Attach to the back of your DoorSense™, making sure to align the edges and screw holes. Remove the other side of the adhesive backing.
3. Place on door frame Press the adhesive side of the DoorSense™ on your frame in the proper identified mounting position. Make sure to align the pill shape vertically.
4. Screw into frame Hand tighten your DoorSense™ to the frame using the included screws. NOTE: You may wish to complete this step until after your lock is set up and calibrated to ensure that you are able to retrieve accurate door state readings before modifying your door frame.
5. Attach the cover Press the cover onto the DoorSense™ Unit. Calibrate your Lock Once the lock is set up, navigate to the Lock Settings and select Calibrate Lock and select LOCK AND DOORSENSE. Follow the instructions in the app until you have successfully calibrated your August Smart Lock and DoorSense™ together. Open and close the door and validate that the door state is accurate.
the screws into the housing and secure them into your door frame or wall and place the cover over the housing. If you notice that your readings are not accurate over time, perform another Door State Calibration to see improved performance.
Flush Mount Installation You will need a drill and a ⅝” drill bit for this installation. If your door frame is hollow metal, a surface mount installation is the preferred method. If you do choose to flush mount the DoorSense™ unit, take extreme care not to drill the hole too large as to let the magnet assembly fall inside.
What you’ll need to provide
1. Remove magnet from housing Using a small blunt object, push the magnet carrier from the housing through the center hole. This may require some force.
2. Assemble magnet to cap Expose the adhesive by removing the blue backing. Press the cap onto the notched side of the magnet carrier. The two shapes should interlock.
3. Determine mounting location DoorSense™ will be flush mounted into the frame of your door, so your Smart Lock swings away when the door is opened.
DoorSense™ should be mounted no more than 1.5 inches from the bottom edge of your deadbolt strike plate, centered on the frame.
4. Tape drill bit It may be helpful to attach tape to your drill bit to mark the proper depth of hole to drill. DoorSense™ requires a 1/2 inch deep hole, but it may help to use the assembled DoorSense™ as a guide.
5. Drill hole Drill the hole in the proper location on your door frame, keeping the drill straight and steady.
6. Insert DoorSense™ into hole Insert the DoorSense™ into the hole. If it is too snug to push in by hand, you can protect the frame with a piece of scrap wood and use light blows with a hammer or mallet. If you notice that your readings are not accurate over time, perform another Door State Calibration to see improved performance.
