Tools You’ll Need for Installation
Before starting the installation, make sure you have these tools on hand:
Screwdriver (Phillips or flat-head)
Drill (if your door requires new holes)
Installation template (provided with your lock)
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Remove the Old Lock (If Applicable)
If replacing an old lock, start by removing it with a screwdriver. Clear the area and ensure your door is ready for the new lock.
Step 2: Measure and Drill
Use the provided template to mark the positioning for the lock and latch. If your door doesn’t have pre-drilled holes, carefully drill according to the measurements in the template.
Step 3: Install the Lock Mechanism
Place the lock mechanism inside the drilled hole, ensuring it fits securely. Attach the latch and tighten the screws, but avoid overtightening.
Step 4: Attach the Exterior and Interior Lock Components
Align the exterior and interior lock components, connect them through the door, and secure them with the included screws. Ensure everything lines up correctly for a snug fit.
Step 5: Connect the Lock’s Circuit Board Ports
Important: Once the lock hardware is in place, make sure to connect the lock’s circuit board ports. This step is essential to ensure power flows to the lock for its electronic functions. Skipping this step will render the lock non-operational.
Step 6: Install the Batteries
Insert the batteries into the compartment, paying close attention to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Incorrect placement can prevent the lock from powering on.
Step 7: Test and Program Your Lock
After installation, test all the lock’s features:
Try unlocking with a fingerprint, keypad, and traditional key.
Set up passwords or register fingerprints following the specific instructions for your lock model.
For guidance, refer to the Installation Tutorial Videos page on the IRONZON website or consult the user manual provided with your lock.
Step 8: Final Check and Enjoy!
Finally, double-check all components and settings. Make sure the door opens and closes smoothly, and the locking mechanism is working properly. Once everything is set, you’re all done!
Key Considerations for Proper Installation
To ensure your IRONZON smart lock functions perfectly, keep these critical points in mind:
Battery Installation: Always align the batteries correctly with their positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Incorrect installation can prevent the lock from powering on.
Model-Specific Programming: Each IRONZON lock has unique methods for setting up passwords or fingerprints. Refer to the Installation Tutorial Videos on our website or consult the included manual for instructions tailored to your specific model.
Connect the Circuit Board Ports: Don’t forget to connect the lock’s circuit board ports during installation. Without this connection, your lock will not receive power, making it non-functional.
