Getting Started

Download eufy Security App

Download the eufy Security app from the App Store (iOS devices running version 10.2 and later versions) or Google Play (Android devices running version 5.0 and later versions).

Sign up for a eufy Security account and add the Smart Lock to the device list. Remove the battery cover and scan the QR code on the back of the device to view the Smart Lock installation video.

Note: The T8500 Smart Lock is embedded with an encryption chip. Bluetooth data and fingerprint information are all encrypted, so user information is secure and cannot be accessed by others.

Prepare Door for Installation

Make sure that the following criteria are met so that the Smart Lock can be installed properly:
- Check the door status. Make sure the doorframe is aligned with the door.
- There are no obstructions stuck in the doorframe.
- Leave enough space for the deadbolt to extend into the doorframe when the door is locked.
Check your door / frame dimensions to make sure that they fit the following measurements:
- The cross bore diameter (2 1/8″ / 54 mm or 1½” / 38 mm)
- Backset (2 3/8″ / 60 mm or 2¾” / 70 mm)
- Diameter of the door hole (|” / 25 mm)
- Door thickness (| ” / 35 mm – 2 1/8″ / 55 mm)
If you have an existing lock, remove it, including the bolt.

Installing the Smart Lock

Step 1: Install the Deadbolt

To install the deadbolt:

Measure your door’s backset dimension: whether it is 2¾” / 70 mm or 2 ” / 60 mm.
If your door’s backset dimension is 2 ” / 60 mm, use the provided deadbolt to install. If your door’s backset is 2¾” / 70 mm, turn the faceplate 180° and pull to extend simultaneously until the deadbolt locks in position as the illustration shows below.
Insert the deadbolt into the doorframe and make sure the word “TOP” faces up as indicated on the deadbolt.
Screw into the doorframe with a screwdriver (not provided).
What is required: Deadbolt, Deadbolt Screws, Screwdriver (not provided)

Step 2: Install the Strike Plate

If you have an existing strike plate installed, skip this step.

To install the strike plate:

Align the strike plate with the center hole of the deadbolt.
Secure the strike plate with strike screws. Make sure the plate is placed in the correct direction.

To enhance the security, you need to first install the strike reinforcer.

Attach the strike reinforcer on the doorframe and tighten the reinforcement screws with a screwdriver (not provided).

What is required: Strike Plate, Strike Screws, Strike Reinforcer (optional), Reinforcement Screws (optional), Screwdriver (not provided)

Note: This step is only necessary if you want to maintain BHMA Grade 2 security, or you can install strike plate directly.

Step 3: Install the Exterior Assembly

To install the exterior assembly into the doorframe:

Measure your cross bore dimension and determine the installation steps accordingly.
- If the diameter of your cross bore is 2 1/8” 54 mm, use the provided spacer to assist in installing the exterior assembly.
- If you have a 1½” / 38 mm crossbore, remove the spacer.

****

Route the cable connected on the exterior assembly under the deadbolt.
Align the tailpiece with the center hole of the deadbolt, and insert it into the center hole.
What is required: Exterior Assembly.

Step 4: Install the Mounting Plate

Route the cable through the mounting plate.
Fix the mounting plate onto the interior doorframe using the mounting plate screws. Make sure the screws go through the holes of the deadbolt and the mounting plate, and lock into place.
- Option A: If the mounting plate fits perfectly with the door, go to Step 5.
- Option B: If the mounting plate is not fastened tightly to the door, use an additional screw.

What is required: Mounting Plate, Mounting Plate Screws, Deadbolt Screw / Strike Screw, Screwdriver (not provided)

Step 5: Install the Interior Assembly

To install the Interior Assembly:
Remove the battery cover.
Match the wire connector from the circuit board with the one from the interior assembly as illustrated. The wire connector can only be plugged into the socket in one way. Make sure you match the dot on the connector with the pin on the circuit board correctly.
Align the tailpiece with the key cylinder.
Secure the provided screws into the interior assembly.
Turn the thumbturn to check whether the deadbolt is retracted. If the deadbolt does not work smoothly, adjust the screws and install the mounting plate again.
Use the plug to cover the screw hole at the bottom of the Smart Lock.
What is required: Interior Assembly, Interior Assembly Screws, Screwdriver (not provided).

Step 6: Install Batteries

Insert four AA batteries into the battery compartment matching the polarity (+/-) indicated.

SETTING UP THE SMART LOCK

Pair Your Phone with Smart Lock

Note: The lock will not lock automatically before the setup has completed. To avoid being locked outside, pair your phone with the Smart Lock and set an access code for unlocking the door.

To pair your phone with the Smart Lock:

Scan the QR code on the back of the Smart Lock to get Bluetooth information of the Smart Lock. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
Pair your phone with the Smart Lock via Bluetooth. Your phone will search for the Smart Lock’s Bluetooth and then connect.
- Waiting to pair: The LED indicator flashes blue.
- Paired: the LED indicator turns steady blue for 5 seconds.

Note:

The user that is paired is the only administrator and can authorize other users to use the lock.
Press and hold the Setup button again, the lock will return to default settings. All the settings will be erased and need to be reset. DO NOT press and hold the button if unnecessary.

Calibrate Smart Lock

After the Smart Lock is successfully paired with your phone, the eufy Security app will prompt you to calibrate the door lock.

Make sure you close the door before calibrating the Smart Lock. When the door is closed, the door sensor will record the exact locked position so that the door will automatically lock if the door is properly closed.

To calibrate the Smart Lock, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Successfully calibrated: The button LED turns white for 2 seconds and then off. The voice prompt “calibration complete” can be heard.
Fail to calibrate: The button and status LED turn solid red for 2 seconds and then off. The voice prompt “The deadbolt is stuck. Please return to the installation and try again.” can be heard.

Note: If the eufy Security app fails to calibrate the lock, check whether the door has been installed correctly and try again.

Set Access Code

After the lock is calibrated, the eufy Security app will prompt you to name your Smart Lock and set an access code. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. The access code should be 4 to 8 characters.

Note: If you do not set the passcode and click “Return”, a message “initialization unsuccessful” will appear. Click the card to enter the Smart Lock page. The message “Continue or remove the device” will appear.

Set Scramble Passcode

A scramble passcode is a series of random numbers that you can input to prevent others from spying on your actual access code. It is ideal for those living in a condo with neighbors passing by all the time.
To set a scramble passcode, go to Settings on the eufy Security app. The scramble passcode should be no more than 12 digits in total.

OTA Update (Optional)

If your device requires an OTA update, the app will force you to update OTA. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process. If no OTA update is required, the app will automatically skip this process and enter “the setup complete” page.
