1. Prepare your existing deadbolt

Use the supplied adhesive strip to hold the keyed side of the lock in place.

2. Remove your existing thumbturn

Unscrew and remove the screws from your existing deadbolt thumbturn. If there is
an additional back plate, remove that as well. Be sure to unlock your deadbolt
before removing the thumbturn entirely.

3. Prepare the Mounting Plate

The included mounting plate has two adjustable screw-holes that can be
repositioned as needed. Remove the screws from the thumbturn and insert them
into the front of the mounting plate.

Select your adapter from the Compatibility Chart above.

(If your lock brand is not in the chart, slide each adapter onto the tailpiece to find
the right one. The correct adapter will have one of the nubs pointing up.)

6. Attach the Correct Adapter

Place the correct adapter onto the tail piece. One of the triangle shaped nubs
should facing up if you have the correct adapter.

7. Rotate to unlocked position

Rotate the thumbturn all the way to the unlocked position, which may take some
moderate force. The direction you turn will depend on which side of the door your
deadbolt is on.

8. Open the wing latches

Pull out both side wing latches to prepare for mounting.

9. Attach the August Smart Lock

Before placing the August Smart Lock on the door, ensure the thumbturn is in the
correct unlocked position.

Slide the August Smart Lock over the tailpiece and attach it to the mounting plate.
Make sure the back of the lock is flush with the door. To secure the August Smart
Lock, clamp down both side wing latches to the mounting plate completely.

10. Remove the faceplate

Slide the top of the front face upwards to remove the battery compartment cover.

11. Remove the battery tab

While holding the batteries in place, remove the clear plastic battery isolation tab
on the left side. Make sure that the battery is properly seated in its compartment.

NOTE: Avoid pulling the longer gray tab, as it will remove all of the batteries.

12. Replace the faceplate

Place the faceplate back onto the August Smart Lock over the batteries until it
clicks into place.

instructions on installing DoorSense™, please see: DoorSense™ Installation
Guide for August Smart Lock

installation-guide-for-august-smart-lock)

Download and install the August Home app. Select "Get Started" from the home
screen, or, if already logged in to the app, select "Set Up a Lock" from the main
menu.
