This lock is easy to install if you're a little handy AND can follow directions. It looks great - I only wish the back side was brushed nickel as well instead of black, but that's minor. It meets all of my expectations at a great price.
A couple helpful tips for installation.
1) Ensure the bolt/locking mechanism moves freely before installing the battery and finishing the install. Make sure the bolt pocket depth is ATLEAST 1 inch deep AND the bolt does not drag on anything as it extends and retracts. You can test this by installing the lock to the door, shutting the door and actuating the lock manually with the knob (not the keypad). If it moves freely and reaches the end of its stroke while the door is closed, you should have no issues once you install the batteries and try the lock electronically.
2) Install the strike plate to the door frame with tape first. Make sure the bolt fully extends through the strike plate without dragging on it before you drill and screw the strike plate into place. (I made the mistake of screwing the strike plate in place before testing this and the lock would not work because the bolt was dragging on the strike plate. This resulted in needing to fill the holes and re-drill them 12hrs later after the glue/filler had dried)
3) Once installed, if the lock attempts to extend the bolt several times and refuses to lock, see 1 & 2 above. A dragging bolt or interference is likely the culprit.
4) YOU MUST RESET THE MASTER CODE before programming your own user codes. The default master code is 12345678. Read the directions.
Finally, keep the instruction manual for resetting the codes. It's a little tricky and I guarantee you'll forget the keystrokes required to add new user codes the next time you need to do this. Good luck!
