• Ensure your door swings inward. Decide the lock's placement, typically higher on the door for child access restriction or near the existing lock for maximum reinforcement. Mark the screw hole positions accurately. — Prepare Door and Mark Position
• Using a 1/8-inch drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes at the marked positions on both the door and the door frame. This ensures the hardened screws can be driven in smoothly and securely. — Drill Pilot Holes
• Align the reinforcement lock with the pilot holes on the door. Use the included three 3-inch hardened screws to attach the lock firmly to the door. Ensure it operates smoothly before fully tightening. — Mount the Lock
• Test the lock by engaging its spring-loaded mechanism. Ensure it securely fastens into the strike plate on the frame. Verify that the door cannot be easily forced open from the outside when the lock is engaged. — Engage and Test
