How to install Euro Profile Smart Lock – Step by step

BLACK X Smart locks provide enhanced security and convenience, allowing you to control access to your home or office with ease. Whether you’re upgrading an existing lock or installing a new one, this guide will walk you through the process of installing a Euro Profile Smart Lock efficiently and correctly.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you’ll ensure a secure and hassle-free installation. Let’s get started!

 

 

Step 1: Unbox and prepare components:

Open the packages and identify all components. Lay them out for easy access.

 

Hardware components:

• 1X BLACK X Euro Profile Smart Lock
• Euro profile door cylinder
• Mounting plate and hardware
• CR2 Lithium battery
• Mounting tools

 

 

Step 2:  Removing the existing cylinder:

 

• Locate the Mortise Plate: Identify this plate on the door’s edge where the door meets the frame.
• Unscrew the Cylinder: Locate the screw on the mortise plate that secures the cylinder. Use a suitable screwdriver to carefully unscrew and keep the screw safely for later use.

 

 

Step 3:  Extracting the existing Cylinder:

 

• Insert the Key: Fully insert the original key into the cylinder.
• Align the Cam: Rotate the key to align the cam with the body of the cylinder, ensuring it can be removed.
• Remove the Cylinder: With the cam properly aligned, gently pull the cylinder out from its housing.

 

Note: if you encounter resistance, recheck the cam alignment.

 

 

 

Step 4:  Prepare and install the new BLACK X Cylinder

 

• Disassemble the Knob:

Use the provided Allen key to loosen and remove the screw securing the knob. Carefully detach the knob from its base.

• Prepare the Cylinder:

Make sure the new cylinder’s body aligns with the knob’s internal shaft for seamless integration into the lock mechanism.

 

Note: Make sure to remove the plastic pin before mounting the device.

 

 

 

 

Step 5:  Installing the New Cylinder:

 

• Position the New Cylinder: Insert the new cylinder into its designated position

in the door, ensuring proper alignment.

• Secure the Cylinder: Using the provided M5 steel bolt, with a length at least equal to the lock backset plus 10 mm. Hand-tighten the lock screw to secure the

cylinder before using a Phillips head screwdriver for final tightening. Ensure the cylinder does not protrude more than 3 mm from the door surface and install safety furniture on the door in front of the cylinder to prevent tampering.

Note: Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6: Identifying door orientation:

 

• Determine Door Opening Direction:

Check the position of the hinges to identify if the door is left-handed or right-handed:

• If the hinges are on the left, the door is left-handed.
• If the hinges are on the right, the door is right-handed.

 

• Mark Orientation:

Use the red marker for left-handed doors and the green marker for right-handed doors.

 

Tips:

No tools are needed for this step. Ensure your hands are clean and dry for a secure grip.

Confirm the door’s orientation before proceeding to avoid installation errors.

 

 

 

 

Step 7: Installing the CR2 Battery

 

• Use a flathead screwdriver to open the Dual-function battery compartment cover by turning it half a turn and pressing down on the latch to release the compartment.
• Insert the battery release tab into the lock, then place the CR2 battery into the BLACK X device, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) ends align with the symbols on the battery pull tab. A beep will confirm the device is operational.
• Return the battery compartment cover to its original position with the tab facing outward from the lock. Use the flathead screwdriver to turn the screw back to its locked position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8: Pairing with the BLACK X App

 

• Open the BLACK X App.
• click on ‘install a new lock’.
• Name Your Lock or choose a description.
• Create a ‘Home’ to associate with your lock.
• Choose the ‘Home’ for your lock.
• While in “Discovering Nearby Locks” mode, use the Allen key to press the connect button on the BLACK X device.
• When a pop-up for the correct lock appears, click “Connect” to proceed.
• Congratulations! You’ve successfully connected your first lock.

 

 

Step 9: Attaching the BLACK X Device

 

• Mounting the Device: Carefully align and insert the BLACK X device onto the cylinder, twisting it until it securely locks in place. You will hear a ‘click’ when the device is correctly positioned. Ensure there is no looseness or play between the device and the cylinder.
• Secure the Device:

1. Use the supplied Allen key to partially tighten the screws on the left and right sides of the BLACK X device, ensuring it is loosely attached but still adjustable.
   Note: Avoid overtightening at this stage to allow proper alignment of all components.
2. Mount the external knob: Align the knob with the hole facing upward, then rotate the knob body until it aligns properly. Use the provided Allen key to tighten the screw on the top.
   Note: Ensure the knob is fully aligned with the holes; if not, the Allen key may turn without securing it properly.
3. Fully secure the device: Once the knob is correctly mounted, return to the screws on the left and right sides of the BLACK X device and firmly tighten them using the Allen key.
   Note: Exercise caution to avoid overtightening, as this may cause the opening mechanism to become jammed.

 

 

Step 10: Operational Settings and Optional Wi-Fi Bridge Setup (if purchased)

 

• Functionality Test: With the door open, use the BLACK X app to activate the unlock command and verify that the device operates correctly.

Note: If you have multiple locks installed, select the new lock for testing.

• Optional Wi-Fi Bridge Installation: If purchased, connect the USB-C Wi-Fi bridge to enable remote access features.
