It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read, and follow these instructions or you will likely have problems installing the Door Lock Guard properly. You should read them completely at least once before you begin installing the product, and again while installing the product.

Door Lock Guard Installation Instructions

Tools needed:

• Electric drill

• 1/8” drill bit (or slightly larger if you don't have a 1/8”)

• T-25 drive bit

• Flat head screwdriver (medium)

• Pencil

Door Lock Guard Kit Components

To make the installation instructions much easier, we have named each part in the above photo.

Part A – The white strip on the far left

Part B – The second white strip from the left

Part C – The third white strip from the left

The two objects between the first and second strips are called binding posts.

The object on the far right is to show you how Part A and Part B connect using the two binding posts.

You mount one Door Lock Guard next to the door knob and one next to the deadbolt. The instructions below are applicable to both but we will just describe how to install it on the deadbolt.

The correct placement of Part B is the most important issue. Part B goes on the outside of the door between the deadbolt and the edge of the door. See the example below:

There is usually about 1” of space between the edge of the deadbolt and the edge of the door.

1. Go outside and close the door. Place and hold Part B on the door as shown above.
   
   

2. At the same time, place and hold Part C on the door frame as shown above. Remove Part C and keep holding Part B in place. Mark each hole with a pencil.
    

3. Go back inside and using a measuring device, mark EXACT corresponding holes the inside side of the door. Part A mounts on the inside of the door as shown below:
   
   
    

4. Start on one side of the door and drill a hole just over HALF WAY through the door in each of the two spots you marked. Sometimes the drill bit will want to move a bit when you first start drilling, you can avoid this by taking a nail and lightly tapping it once or twice in the center of the spot you marked. By making this slight indention, you can place the point of the drill bit there and the drill bit won't “walk”.
    

5. Go to the other side of the door and drill each spot you marked just over HALF WAY through the door. The holes on one side of the door should now match up with the holes you drilled on the opposite side, thereby creating one continuous hole through the door.
    

6. On the outside of the door, insert one of the long binding posts through Part C, through the door and through Part A. Use one of the small screws and ONLY finger tighten it at this point. Install the second binding post in the same way.
    

7. Go out side and mount Part C in the correct location using the screws we provide. Shut the door and make sure that Part C is going into the U-channel of Part B. If it isn't, make adjustments until it does.
    

8. Go back inside and tighten the two screws with a flat head screwdriver.
   
   
   IMPORTANT!: It is very easy to scratch the paint off the screws. We suggest that you place a small piece of masking tape on the head of the screws over the slot, tighten the screws and then remove the tape. Should you scratch the paint, you can touch it up by using white appliance paint, or pretty much any other white paint that leaves a gloss finish.
    

*You can paint the metal parts to match their respective backgrounds to make them blend in nicely.
 

The installation is now complete. Thank you for installing the Door Security Pro Door Lock Guard. It was a wise decision toward greatly improving your home's security.
