Installation

1 Prepare your existing deadbolt
Place the supplied adhesive strip to hold the keyed side of the lock in place. Be sure to press down the tape against the keyhole when you install the smart lock on the inside of the door.
2 Remove your existing thumbturn
Use a Philips Screwdriver to remove your existing thumbturn. Be sure to unlock your deadbolt before removing the thumbturn entirely. If your deadbolt has a backplate, remove that as well.
3 Prepare the mounting plate
The included Mounting Plate has two adjustable screw-holes that can be repositioned as needed. Use the two screws from the thumbturn, and insert it through the screw-holes
4 Optional: Determine if you need the Cover Plate
For oversized deadbolt holes, an optional cover plate is included with your smart lock. If your smart lock’s mounting plate does not fully cover the hole left by the removed thumbturn, you may want to use the included Cover Plate.
Attach the Mounting Plate

If using the optional Cover Plate, place it over the deadbolt hole.
Take note of the DOOR SIDE and UP arrows.
Pass the mounting plate screws through the larger opening in the Cover Plate, taking note of the UP arrow.
Tighten the screws until the mounting plate is settled securely against the door.

Choose your adapter

Select your adapter from the Compatibility Chart. 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 teeth pointing up. 6 Attach the adapter
Place the adapter onto the tail piece. One of the triangle-shaped teeth should be facing up if you have the correct adapter. Make sure the nonteeth side of the adapter goes in through the tailpiece first.
7 Rotate to the unlocked position and open wing latches
Rotate the thumbturn on your August Smart Lock 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 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 smart lock over the tailpiece and attach it to the mounting plate.
To secure the smart lock, clamp down both side wing latches to the mounting plate completely.
Make sure the back of the lock is flush with the door, and the lock is able to lock and unlock the deadbolt manually by rotating the outer shell.
9 Remove the faceplate
Press down on the August logo located at the bottom of the faceplate. Grab the top of the faceplate and remove it.

10 Remove the battery tab
While holding the batteries in place, remove the plastic battery isolation tab. Make sure that the battery is properly seated in its compartment.
** 11 Reattach the faceplate
Place the faceplate back onto the smart lock, with the August logo at the bottom
12 Install DoorSense®
DoorSense® enables your lock to know when the door is open and closed. For instructions visit this support page:
