Step 1: Prepare existing deadbolt. Affix the supplied adhesive strip over the key hole, securing it to the exterior side of your door. This should hold the key hole in place when you remove the thumb-latch on the inside of the door. On some doors, such as those with glossy paint, the included tape may not be strong enough.

Step 2: Remove your existing thumb-latch. Position your thumb-latch so that you can unscrew the existing screws on your deadbolt. Remove the screws entirely from the deadbolt and keep them to assist in the next step. After removing the screws, be sure to unlock your deadbolt before removing the thumb-latch.

Step 3: Select the correct mounting plate and adapter. If you know the brand of your deadbolt, please select the correct mounting plate and adapter from the Compatibility Chart on the next page, and then go to Step 4 (page 18). If not, go to Step 3a (page 16) to find the correct mounting plate and adapter.

Step 3a: Select the correct mounting plate. Insert the existing screws in the thumb-latch to help you choose the correct mounting plate. If there was a back plate under your thumb-latch, insert the screws into this back plate instead of the thumb-latch. Slide the mounting plates onto the screws one at a time until you find a mounting plate that allows the screws to fit straight through the holes.

Step 4: Position the mounting plate. Remove the backing from the 4 rubber bumpers and place them on the back side of the mounting plate (the side that does not show a number). Remove the screws from the thumb-latch and use them to install the mounting plate over the existing deadbolt tail piece.

Step 5: Position adapter and align mounting plate. Remove the tape from the key hole, and use your key to turn your deadbolt to the fully unlocked position. If your lock was not in the Compatibility Chart, select the adapter that fits your tail piece. To do this, slide each adapter onto the tail piece.

Pull out both side wing latches. Slide the August Smart Lock over tail piece and attach to mounting plate. Make sure the back of the lock is flush with the door. To secure the August Smart Lock, clamp down both side wing latches to the mounting plate completely.
Holding batteries in place, remove the plastic battery isolation tab. Make sure that the battery is properly seated in its compartment. Align faceplate hooks with the August Smart Lock. The faceplate will lock into place with the logo at the bottom.
