(2 3/8" or 2 ¾" from the edge of the door.) Holding
onto the Locking knob, rest Lock against door and
floor.
Lift body approximately 1" up (rod assembly remaining
on the floor). Locking knob should be in the center
of the cut on body. (See diagram)

Check
Sure-Lock is plumb with the door
With a pencil, mark the six screw holes.
With a 1/8" drill bit, drill holes carefully to only
1" deep.
Attach Sure-Lock with the 6 one inch screws provided.
(See diagram)
Caution: For steel doors: do not over tighten
screws.
Step # 2 Location of the

Step #3 Drill the Floor Plugs
Depending on your floor finishes, and once hole location
is determined, proceed as follows:
Carpet
Cut a 3/4" hole at proper hole location and remove
carpet for both holes. This will prevent the carpet
from snagging or unraveling during drilling.
Concrete, Tile or Marble
Caution: Check for radiant heating pipes in flooring.
There are cut lines on the floor plugs. With a hacksaw
cut plugs to 1 inch.
Drill with Caution.
We recommend using a diamond-coring bit if possible.
If not available, drill pilot hole with ¼" masonry
drill bit follow with ¾" masonry bit. Use a vacuum
to keep hole clean from dust and debree this will
help to prevent improper placement of the floor plug.
Drill ¾" holes. Drop floor plugs into holes to check
that holes are in the proper position. Check by opening
and closing door several times. When you are sure
location is correct, remove floor plugs carefully,
then apply adhesive and re-install floor plugs.
Check that floor plugs are straight, tight, and flush
with floor surface. Insert bolt into floor plugs to
insure smooth action. Allow 24 hours for adhesive
to set up.

view visitors with complete security at any time.

is not crucial.

The
Locking Knob
This
is used to place Sure-Lock in Setting #1 or
Setting #2
Important:
When Sure-Lock is in Setting #1, we highly
recommend turning the Locking knob clockwise approximately
three to four times to lock in position. Sure-Lock
is secure if Locking Knob cannot be lifted upwards.
This will prevent any possible entry due to a
hand or a tool being forced through the opened
door and prying upwards. If Locking knob can be
lifted, tighten knob until it won't lift.
CAUTION: Do Not Over Tighten
1. Do not
over tighten knob. All family members including
children and grandparents should be able to twist
knob easily to unlock.
2. Be careful
not to turn knob anti clockwise too much and unscrew
the Locking Knob from rod assembly.
