This guide will walk you through the steps to add your fingerprint to the lock. In just a few minutes, you can ensure that only trusted individuals can enter your home. Let’s get started and make your home both smart and secure.
Unboxing And Preparation
You will find several items in the box. These include the Eufy Smart Lock, a user manual, and a set of screws. There’s also a strike plate, a mounting plate, and a backup key. The box contains batteries too. Everything is packed securely.
You need a screwdriver. A drill might be necessary. A tape measure can help too. Make sure you have all tools ready before starting. Having a pencil will help mark spots.
Installing The Eufy Smart Lock
First, gather all the needed tools. Open the box and check all parts. Read the manual carefully. Begin by removing the old lock. Make sure the door edge is smooth. Install the new deadbolt first. Align it with the door hole. Next, attach the exterior part. Ensure the cable goes through the hole.
Secure the exterior part with screws. Connect the cable to the interior part. Attach the interior part to the door. Test the lock by turning the thumb turn. If it works, you’re almost done. Finally, install the batteries. Close the battery cover.
Proper alignment is key for smooth operation. Check the deadbolt alignment. It should slide easily. Adjust if needed. Misalignment can cause jamming. Make sure the strike plate is in the right place. The deadbolt should fully extend into it.
If the door is not aligned, adjust the hinges. A well-aligned lock lasts longer. It also provides better security. Always double-check alignment before finishing. This step ensures the lock works perfectly.
