Installation Guide

INSTALOCK
Congratulations on purchasing the Instalock remote control unit for your existing thumb-turn deadbolt lock.
The Instalock unit works on existing deadbolts by transforming your existing lock into a remote-controlled door lock. Installation is
simple with NO TOOLS REQUIRED.
BOTH YOUR DOOR KEY AND YOUR THUMB-TURN WILL OPERATE YOUR DOOR LOCK MANUALLY. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
ALWAYS CARRY YOUR KEY WITH YOU WHEN LEAVING YOUR HOME. ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR DOOR IS LOCKED
WHEN USING YOUR INSTALOCK REMOTE CONTROL UNIT TO LOCK YOUR DOOR.
THE INSTALOCK UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY IF YOU HAVE TO PUSH OR PULL YOUR DOOR WHEN USING YOUR KEY
TO OPEN OR LOCK YOUR DOOR. WE RECOMMEND CONSULTING A PROFESSIONAL TO ADJUST YOUR EXISTING LOCK MECHA-
NISM SO THAT YOUR EXISTING DOOR LOCK OPERATES SMOOTHLY.

POLARITY SWITCH SETTING
Home doors are both left-handed and right-handed. You may need to change the direction of
the Instalock unit's function to accommodate your door lock opening in the correct direction.
If you have purchased a proximity remote control separately, or an Instalock 4 digit keypad to
open your door, you may need to change the polarity switch to attain the correct opening signal.

TO PURCHASE A PROXIMITY REMOTE, OR 4 DIGIT KEYPAD PLEASE VISIT INSTALOCK.COM
If you wish to use the round button on your remote control to open your door, you may need to
change the polarity switch depending on whether you door is a left-hand or right hand-door.
