EF Model – Replacement Front Panel (Outside Handle) Installation

Replacing the front panel (outside handle) on the EF model requires careful handling of the power cable, spindle, and internal components.

Follow the steps below in order to avoid damage and ensure the lock powers up correctly after installation.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Remove Battery Cover
   Take off the battery cover from the inside unit.

2. Disconnect Power Cable
   Press the securing tab on the connector and gently wiggle the plug out.
   Do not pull forcefully.

3. Remove Batteries
   Take out all batteries before continuing.

4. Remove Fixing Screws
   Unscrew the two screws holding the lock to the door.

5. Remove Front Panel
   Carefully pull the front panel away, making sure the power cable is not snagged or stretched.

6. Release the Spindle
   Lift the hooked end of the U-clip to release the spindle from the old panel.

7. Prepare the New Panel
   Ensure the U-clip is fitted into the spindle receptor on the new panel.

8. Check Spindle Alignment
   Locate the arrow on the spindle receptor.
   It must point away from the door, in the same direction as the handle.

9. Insert the Spindle
   Push the spindle into the new panel until it clicks into place.

10. Refit Through the Door
    Insert the spindle back through the door and guide the power cable through the correct hole.
