Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the UAP Freezeguard cylinder requires removing the existing cylinder screw and sliding the old unit out of the door profile. Ensure that the new cylinder matches the backset dimensions and that the 'T' side (the thumbturn) is oriented toward the interior of the home. Always measure from the center of the fixing screw hole to the outside face (A) and to the inside face with the thumbturn (B). Keep the cylinder clear of heavy debris and avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective finish. A light, dry lubricant spray can be used occasionally if the key entry feels gritty, but generally, the unit is maintenance-free.
