Tilt the latch cam and pull the latch straight out from the lock case.

  • Reinsert the latch to the desired hand.
  • Replace the latch screws and adjust the bevel of the edge plate.
  • Replace the faceplate.

Note: The instruction label affixed to the lock body also includes steps to "Rehand the Hubs". These steps do not apply to Alarm Lock models because the outside lock housing controls access electronically; not the internal hubs.
