Installation Step-by-step
Installation Step-by-step
Step 1.
Unlock and open the door with a key, then remove the key from the cylinder.
Step 2.
Turn the internal cylinder as far as it will go to the locked direction.
Step 3.
Put tape over the cylinder on the outside of the door to prevent the cylinder falling off when the internal cylinder is removed.
Step 4.
On the internal cylinder (on the inside of the door), remove the screws that are holding it in place.
Step 5.
Unscrew the screws that hold the thumbturn follower in place and remove it along with the spindle.
Step 6.
Check that the arrow in the lock case is facing down. If its not, you can use the spindle to turn it.
Step 7.
Insert the spindle that is provided in the box into the lock. Please measure it and cut it down so that there is 30mm protruding from the surface of the door.
If you would like to use your existing spindle, that's fine providing that it protrudes between 7-40mm from the surface of the door.
Step 8.
Make sure that the spindle remains horizontal during the installation process until you start calibration.
Step 9.
For a SSF compliant installation, please install the black cylinder puck over the spindle using the black screws that are supplied.
Step 10.
If you choose not to use the cylinder puck, please attach the thumbturn follower back onto your lock.
Depending on the thickness of your door you may need to use the longer cylinder screws. If not please use the shorter ones.
Step 11.
Next you will need to cut the mounting screws down to length. Please line the screws up next to the door and cut them 2 notches longer then the external surface of the door to allow them to screw into the external cylinder.
If your existing screws are the correct length you can use those instead.
Step 12.
Next line up the plate. If you have the space on your door, please line up the plate vertically. If however you don't have space, you can also fit it horizontally. After this please screw in the fixing screws to secure it.
Step 13.
Next add the spindle adapter to the spindle.
Step 14.
Open the wings on the Linus unit to allow it to fit over the mounting plate. Please also line up the thumbturn on the unit so that it will fit over the horizontal spindle adapter.
Step 15.
Next hook the Linus unit over the backplate at the bottom and then push the units onto the plate, using the wings to secure it.
Step 16.
Please check that the unit can be locked and unlocked using the thumbturn on the Linus Unit.
Step 17.
Peel the backing film from the Doorsense™ magnet.
Step 18.
Stick the DoorSense™ magnet on the door frame, level with the Yale logo on the Linus® Smart Lock.
Step 19.
You can now remove the tape from the outside of the door.
Step 20.
