Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify that your existing lock is a Euro profile cylinder and measure the distance from the center of the fixing screw hole to both ends of the cylinder to confirm the 40/40mm size is correct.
- Remove the retaining screw from the edge of the door.
- Insert your key into the old cylinder and turn it slightly to align the cam, then slide the cylinder out.
- Insert the new Yale 1000+ cylinder, ensuring it is centered.
- Replace and tighten the retaining screw.
To maintain optimal performance, avoid using heavy lubricants like WD-40, which can attract dust. If the lock feels stiff, use a small amount of graphite powder to lubricate the pins.
