Basic Setup for Your August Smart Lock Pro

With the August Smart Lock you can give keyless entry to family, friends, housekeepers and others without worrying about lost or copied keys. Control and monitor your door using the August Home App.

This guide will help you setup and install your August Smart Lock.

You will need a Phillip's Head Screwdriver.

1. Use the supplied adhesive strip to hold the keyed side of the lock in place.
   
2. Unscrew and remove the screws from your existing deadbolt thumb-latch. If there is an additional back plate, remove that as well. Be sure to unlock your deadbolt before removing the thumb-latch entirely.
   
3. The included mounting plate has two adjustable screw-holes that can be repositioned as needed. Remove the screws from the thumb-latch and insert them into the front of the mounting plate.
   
4. Tighten the screws by hand until the mounting plate is settled securely against the door. 
   
5. Select your adapter from the Compatibility Chart.
   
6. 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 the small nub pointing up.
   
7. Place the correct adapter onto the tail piece with the small nub pointing up.
   
8. Pull out both side wing latches to prepare for mounting.
   
9. Slide the August Smart Lock over the tailpiece and attach it to the mounting plate. Make sure the back of the lock is flush with the door. To secure the August Smart Lock, clamp down both side wing latches to the mounting plate completely.
   
10. Press down on the August logo located at the bottom of the face plate. Grab the top of the faceplate and remove it.
    
11. While holding the batteries in place, remove the plastic battery isolation tab. Make sure that the battery is properly seated in its compartment.
    
12. Place the faceplate back onto the August Smart Lock, with the August logo at the bottom.
