How to Install
Tools and Materials Needed:
New rim cylinder lock with trim ring, shim, and 3 keys
Screwdriver (usually Phillips)
Tape measure
Pencil
Chisel (if necessary)
Instructions:
1. Remove the Old Rim Cylinder Lock:
a. Open the Door: Ensure the door is open and stable.
b. Remove Interior Hardware: On the interior side of the door, locate the screws holding the old rim cylinder in place. Unscrew and remove the interior mounting plate (this is often connected to a night latch).
c. Remove the Cylinder: Once the interior plate is removed, carefully pull the old rim cylinder out from the exterior side of the door.
2. Prepare the Door:
a. Inspect the Hole: Check the existing hole in the door where the rim cylinder was installed. Ensure it is clean and free of debris.
b. Check Compatibility: Measure the thickness of the door and the length of the new cylinder. If the new cylinder is too long, use the shim provided to adjust the fit. If it’s too short, the trim ring can help extend the cylinder’s reach.
3. Install the New Rim Cylinder:
a. Insert the Cylinder: Place the new rim cylinder through the hole from the exterior side of the door.
b. Use the Shim (if necessary): If the cylinder is slightly recessed, add the shim between the cylinder and the door to ensure a snug fit.
c. Fit the Trim Ring: Slide the trim ring over the cylinder on the exterior side of the door to cover the hole and create a neat appearance.
d. Secure with Screws: Hold the cylinder in place and reattach the interior mounting plate or night latch with the screws provided. Ensure the cylinder is properly aligned and the key turns smoothly in the lock.
4. Test the Lock:
a. Check Key Operation: Insert the key into the new rim cylinder from the exterior side and turn it to ensure it operates smoothly, locking and unlocking the door.
b. Adjust if Necessary: If the key is difficult to turn or the lock doesn’t operate smoothly, loosen the screws slightly and adjust the position of the cylinder until it functions correctly.
5. Final Checks:
a. Ensure Tightness: Tighten all screws securely, ensuring the cylinder is firmly in place but not overtightened, which could cause binding.
b. Test Multiple Times: Open and close the door several times, testing the lock to ensure it functions correctly.
