  • Overview and safety: This product is a keyless cylinder smart door lock that provides keyless entry and user access control. Connectivity and app name are not specified in the product information. Read the manufacturer manual supplied with the lock before beginning.
  • Check contents: Confirm you have the SX cylinder unit, fixing screws and plates, any trim pieces, battery compartment cover, and any supplied keys or programming cards. If batteries are not supplied, use the battery type stated in the manual (not specified here).
  • Verify door suitability: Measure the door thickness and the existing cylinder length. The SX cylinder should fit within the existing mortice/cylinder cut-out; if the cylinder length differs, obtain the correct size cylinder or an approved extension kit. Ensure the cylinder aligns with the door furniture and strike plate.
  • Remove existing cylinder: With the door open, remove any escutcheon or trim, then remove the retaining screw from the face of the door and withdraw the existing euro cylinder. Keep all screws for reuse if compatible.
  • Inspect and adjust: Place the SX cylinder into the door hole to check clearance and rotation of the tailpiece. Confirm the cam (tailpiece) aligns to operate the existing lock mechanism smoothly. Do not force the cylinder; if it binds, check length and cam orientation.
  • Fit the cylinder: Insert the new SX cylinder with the cam engaged in the lock mechanism. Refit the retaining screw and any trim or escutcheon plates. Tighten screws securely but avoid overtightening which can distort the cylinder or door face.
  • Install batteries: Open the battery compartment according to the supplied instructions and install batteries with correct polarity. If battery type is not stated here, consult the printed manual or product labelling. Refit the battery cover.
  • Initial power-up and indicators: Power up the lock. Observe LEDs or audible tones per the manufacturer instructions. If the product manual contains a factory reset or initial setup step, follow those exact steps. If no indicators appear, recheck battery orientation and connections.
  • Configure user access: If the lock supports user codes or keyless methods, programme the master/user codes exactly as described in the supplied manual. If a mobile app is provided by the manufacturer, install it and follow the app’s guided pairing and user-setup steps. If the app name or connectivity is not printed with the product, pairing instructions may not be applicable; use local keypad programming instead.
  • Pairing with apps or hubs (if applicable): Since connectivity is not specified, only proceed if the product documentation confirms Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi or hub support. Open the manufacturer app, create an account if required, put the lock into pairing mode as instructed, and follow on‑screen prompts. If no app or hub is specified, skip this step.
  • Test operation: From both outside and inside, test keyless entry methods, mechanical key operation (if keys supplied), and the internal thumbturn. Lock and unlock the door multiple times and check the latch and deadbolt engage fully. Confirm that any user codes or app users work as expected.
  • Final adjustments: If the cylinder binds or the latch does not fully engage, loosen screws slightly, adjust cylinder depth or strike plate alignment, then retighten. Ensure smooth rotation through the full range without scraping the door face or escutcheon.
  • Security checks: Verify that the lock returns to secure position when closed and that emergency release (if present) functions. Record master code and keep spare mechanical keys in a secure location.
  • Maintenance and battery replacement: Replace batteries when low-battery warnings appear in the product indicators or app. Clean external surfaces with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Retest codes and keys after battery changes.
  • Troubleshooting: If the lock will not operate after installation, consult the manufacturer manual for factory reset, diagnostic LED codes, or contact manufacturer support. Do not attempt to modify electrical components; if the unit requires specialised electrical connection and documentation indicates mains involvement, have a qualified tradesperson inspect it. (This product’s connectivity and power method are not specified here.)
