Installation step-by-step

Step. 1. Unpack Linus®

Take the Linus® unit out of the box and open the wings to remove the mounting plate.

Step 2. Install the Mounting Plate on the Door

Add the mounting plate onto the internal side of your existing cylinder. You may need to loosen the grub screws (the screws on the mounting plate that go around the cylinder) in order to secure the plate properly. This can be done using the Allen key that is provided in the box. Once the plate is on the cylinder, tighten the screws back up holding the short end of the Allen key.

Step 3.

Insert the key into the internal side of your cylinder.

Step 4. Attach Linus® to the Mounting Plate

Mount the Linus® unit onto the mounting plate pushing the top of the unit onto the mounting plate first.

Step 5. Secure Linus® to the Door

Close the ‘wings’ on the Linus® unit to securely fix it in place.
