INSTALLATION

Step 1. Marking the Door.

Determine the mounting height from the floor (about 38"). Tear off the template (at the back) and tape it into position on the door. Mark the centers for the following holes:

  • (1) 21/8" hole for the lock body.
  • (1) 3/4" hole for the keypad cable.
  • (2) 1/4" holes for mounting screws.
  • (1) 1" hole for the latch.

Note: If the door is predrilled for a standard 23/4" backset, carefully center the 21/3" hole on the template with the existing door hole.

Drill the holes as marked. Mortise out for the latch front. The front should fit flush with the door edge. If the unit is being installed with remote release, refer to the instructions for the remote release package.

Step 2. Adjusting for Door Thickness.

Measure the door thickness. The DL2500 is factory set for a 134" thick door. If adjustment is needed, remove the six screws shown in Fig. 1, then remove the Exterior Keypad Housing. Screw the Nut in or out until the distance between the centerline of the Retractor and the Exterior Mounting Plate is half the door thickness. See Table 1 and Fig. 1. Note: Be sure that the Mounting Plate is pressed firmly against the Nut.

Step 3. Installing the Latch.

With the Latch out of the door, slide the Exterior Keypad Housing with the Lock Body into the prepared holes. Be sure that the keypad and the motor wires pass clearly through their respective holes and the Retractor is centered in the latch hole when viewed edge on (see Fig. 2). (If adjustment is necessary, refer back to Step 2.) After checking Retractor

Fig. 2

position, slide out the Lock Housing until it clears the latch cutout. Referring to Fig. 3, insert the Latch and slide the Lock

Fig. 3

Housing back in, making sure that (a) the Latch Prongs engage the Housing Body and (b) the Latch Tailpiece engages the Retractor. (If necessary, reinsert wires through the mounting holes.) Install Latch screws.

Step 4. Installing the Interior Mounting Plate.

Slide the Interior Mounting Plate over the Inside Hub (Fig. 4). Secure the plate to the door with the Nut and tighten using the supplied spanner wrench. Tighten the #6-32 hexagon socket set screw using the Allen wrench supplied. Check for proper alignment with mounting holes before tightening fully. Using the Interior Mounting Plate as a template, drill two 1/8" diameter holes at the bottom, then install two 1/8" self-tapping screws.

Step 5. Installing the Interior Housing.

Before the Interior Housing can be installed, connect the keypad and motor wires to the printed circuit board. See Fig. 5 for locations. Connectors are keyed to assure proper

Fig. 5

alignment. Once connected, place the Interior Housing over the mounting plate, making sure that the wires are not caught between plate and housing. Two #8-32x21/4" screws (supplied) secure the Interior Housing to the Exterior Plate (Fig. 6); these may have to be shortened in accordance with Table

Fig. 6

2. Then, install them into the two holes in the battery compartment, through the Interior Mounting Plate and into the Exterior Mounting Plate and tighten. Also install one #6-32x5/16" screw at the bottom of the Interior Housing.

Step 6. Installing the Knobs.

Slide the Interior Knob (see Fig. 7) onto the spindle. Depress the Knob Catch and push the Knob into position. Pull on the Knob to check for proper engagement with the Catch. Check the lock for proper operation at this time. The Knob should operate freely. If the lock binds or sticks, it should be corrected before proceeding.

Fig. 7

The Exterior Knob is factory assembled with the Key Cylinder and can be used on left- or right-handed doors. Line up the keyway in the Knob with the slots in the Spindle, then turn the key clockwise as far as it will go. At the same time, depress the Knob Catch and push the Knob straight in until the Knob Catch clicks into place. Turn the key to its vertical position and remove it.

Important: Use of a cylinder tailpiece longer than that supplied may damage tha lock drive motor.

Step 7. Installing the Batteries.

Check that the two housings are straight and that all hardware is tight. Then, install the two 9-volt batteries (supplied) into the battery compartment. When batteries are installed, a startup beep will sound at the keypad, indicating that the lock is functional.

Now test the factory-programmed Master Code. Press [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. The keypad should beep with each keypress, and again after the last digit is entered, indicating acceptance of a valid code. Check that the lock unlocks, the knob operates smoothly, and the lock relocks within 5 seconds. If the factory code operates properly, install the battery cover and secure with either the #4-40 flat-head Phillips or oval-head tamper-proof screw.

Step 8. Installing the Strike.

Mark the location of the Strike on the door frame, making sure to align the Strike with the Latch. Mortise the frame and install the Strike and dust box with the two screws supplied (Fig. 8).

Fig. 8

This completes the installation. Recheck the lock using the factory-programmed Master Code (1-2-3-4-5). If the lock is functioning properly, reprogram the Master Code and program other required codes, referring to the User's Guide (Ol171) for programming instructions.

REMOTE RELEASE

To remotely unlock the door, wire the 2-pin connector with leads (supplied) to an external normally-open momentary-contact pushbutton switch. Splice 2-conductor cable onto the existing leads and route the cable within the door and adjacent walls to the switch. (Do not surface-mount the wiring.) Plug the 2-pin connector into the mating REMOTE RELEASE connector on the circuit board. A momentary closure of the switch will then unlock the door. Note: The DLRK Remote Release Kit includes a switch and an ample supply of 2-conductor cable.

LUBRICATION

The Flex-Drive™ locking mechanism is factory lubricated using a synthetic spray lubricant and should require no further attention. However, if lubrication is obviously required, use a low-viscosity spray lubricant (Super Lube® or equivalent). Do not use grease or graphite!
