The first thing you need to do after getting all the parts in your hand is to drill holes in your door. The holes depend on the types of the lock you buy. Some needs some holes in your door and the door frame. Also, you need to make a hole in the side of your door around two inches deep for your deadbolt. Then, make a hole in the frame of your door for locking the deadbolt into.
Then, adjust the deadbolt for fitting on the mechanism of the lock. Place a screwdriver in driver board hole and turn it until it sets properly. When you open the door, the deadbolts will retract far enough. On the other hand, deadbolts will extend far enough to seal tightly when you lock the door.

Then, install the lock mechanism. It is commonly placed on the outside of your door. Keep it in place while you place the back plate on the inside of your door. Tight those two pieces together by using screws.
The last thing to do is to check the latch and the lock function. You have to make sure that your door is tightly sealed to your door frame. Try the mechanism and ensure that everything matches. Then, insert the battery to start up your new lock.
