Many houses have remote-control garage-door openers, and lots of cars use remote-control locking systems, but did you know you can install a remote-control deadbolt on your front door? Some systems allow you to open the garage door, turn on the lights, and open the deadbolt with a remote control that fits on your keychain. (Note: Remote-control systems have a manual override to allow regular key access.)
Materials:
Remote-control deadbolt kit
Drill, with drill bits and a Phillips driver bit
Phillips- and flat-head screwdrivers
Safety glasses
- Remove the face from your existing deadbolt (figure A). You may be able to leave the latch in place if it fits the new lock.
- Use the template provided with your kit to drill pilot holes in the door (figure B).
- Temporarily insert the tailpin into the latch, and extend the latch by turning the key (figure C). Remove the tailpin.
- Run the LED wiring (figure D) under the latch and through the door (figure E).
- Insert the tailpin into the latch. Run the LED wire through the mounting plate, and attach the mounting plate (figure F).
- Connect the LED wires to the power board, and install the power board (figure G). Leave the batteries out when installing the power board.
- Install the batteries. The unit will beep to let you know that the installation is correct. Change the batteries once a year.
- Press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously so that the system can determine which way the key needs to turn to lock the door.
- Press and hold a remote-control button, and press and release the learn button on the power board (figure H). The system will beep when it has registered the signal.
- Snap the cover in place.
