IS LOCKITRON BOLT COMPATIBLE? Any deadbolt is easily swapped with Lockitron Bolt. You can verify compatibility at lockitron.com/compatibility. Interconnected locks need to be entirely removed and a replacement door handle will need to be installed (not included). Mortise locks are not drop-in compatible with Lockitron Bolt.

1. UNSCREW THUMB TURN Most deadbolts have two Phillips head screws holding the thumb turn in place (some might have an additional set of two screws under the thumb turn which also need to be removed). A few deadbolts require an Allen Key (also known as a hex key) to remove the thumb turn.

2. REMOVE OLD CYLINDER Remove the old lock cylinder from the front of your door. Tip: Certain models of Schlage deadbolts can be adapt- ed to work with the internal portion of Lockitron Bolt. Use all included Lockitron Bolt components except for the cylinder and thumb turn screws which you should re-use from your Schlage lock.

3. REMOVE EXISTING LATCH Remove the two screws holding the latch in place. Depending on how your latch was originally installed, it may or may not slide out easily. Tip: If your old latch is difficult to remove, you can use the screwdriver to carefully pull it out.

4. VERIFY DOOR PREP You should now be all set to install Lockitron Bolt! If your door’s holes (or “prep”) don’t appear similar to the one above, you might need to make adjustments. Tip: If your old latch had rounded corners, as shown above, you might need to use a hammer and chisel to remove a small amount of material and square off the recess.

5. REMOVE EXISTING STRIKE PLATE On the frame of your door, locate and remove your existing strike plate.
Page 11
6. INSTALL NEW STRIKE PLATE Screw in the new strike plate. Tip: Strike plate alignment is very important to ensure that Lockitron Bolt locks and unlocks smoothly. If you have significant weather stripping, you might need to pull your door closed to ensure Lockitron Bolt can lock and unlock properly.

7. INSTALL NEW TAPERED LATCH With the latch in the unlocked position and the arrow pointing up, slide it into the side of the door prep and screw into place. Looking through the door prep, verify that the cross of the latch is centered vertically in the prep.

8. HOLD LOCK CYLINDER IN PLACE Before installing the lock cylinder the latch should be in the unlocked position. Make sure the tailpiece is rotated fully counter-clock- wise if you’re installing Bolt on the right hand side of the door (“right handed”, shown above) or fully clockwise if you’re install Bolt on the left side of the door (“left handed”).

9. VERIFY LOCK CYLINDER ALIGNMENT Holding the cylinder in place, make sure that the key- hole is at the bottom of the cylinder. Once in the right position, we recommend using a piece of painters tape to hold the cylinder in place.
10. INSTALL MOUNTING PLATE Place the mounting plate over the tailpiece on the inside of the door. Feed the mounting plate screws through the plate, latch and into the cylinder. Make sure both screws catch in the cylinder before fully tightening.

11. VERIFY LOCK TAILPIECE ALIGNMENT Turn the tailpiece to lock and unlock the latch to ensure that your tailpiece alignment is correct. If not, return to step 6. Tip: When looking at the door straight on from the edge, make sure that the front cylinder and mounting plate are level.

13. INSTALL BATTERIES Insert each battery above the battery ribbon in the alternating directions indicated. The battery ribbon can be used to easily and quickly remove all the batteries. After inserting the last battery you should hear a boot up chime from Lockitron Bolt. Tip: If you install the batteries without the ribbon behind them, we recommend using the screwdriver to carefully pry the batteries out.

14. SET HANDEDNESS If your door is right-handed (shown) and Bolt is mount- ed on the right side of the door, press and hold the right button for three seconds until you hear a beep. Alternatively if your door is left-handed (Bolt is mount- ed on the left side of the door), press and hold the left button.

TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING HOW TO RESET THE CLUTCH If Lockitron Bolt is having trouble completely locking or unlocking, you might need to reset the internal clutch. To do this, simply hold the thumb turn in the locked or unlocked position while sending either command to change state.
Page 26
TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING LOW BATTERY Lockitron Bolt will indicate a low battery status with an audible three beep alert after locking or unlocking. When you receive this alert you should replace Bolt’s batteries as soon as possible. USING SENSE™ Sense allows you to quickly unlock your door as you return home.
Page 27
TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING USING BOLT AND A LOCKING HANDLE Keep in mind that the Lockitron app can only control Lockitron Bolt. This means if you have a locking door handle that is accidentally locked, you will be unable to open the door even if Lockitron Bolt is unlocked. We recommend replacing a locking handle with a non-locking handle when frequently sharing access with guests who might accidentally lock the handle.

SETTING UP BRIDGE If you also have the optional Bridge device, you can set it up once your Lockitron Bolt is up and running. Make sure that you’ve installed Lockitron Bolt first.

SETTING UP BRIDGE Select the correct network and enter the password. You may need to manually type in the network name (case sensitive). Tip: Bridge will only work on 2.4ghz B/G/N WiFi networks.
