To install the EMTEK IN4-DBSGLSIDED Single Sided Deadbolt on a door with a thickness of 1-5/8" to 2-3/8", follow these steps:

1. Door Prep: Ensure that the door thickness falls within the specified range. Bore the hole for the deadbolt from the inside of the door, making sure not to bore all the way through the door.

2. Door Jamb Prep: Prepare the door jamb by creating a recessed area for the bolt to fit into when the door is closed. Follow the instructions provided in the installation manual for your specific door jamb type.

3. Install Bolt: Insert the deadbolt latch into the hole you bored in the door, making sure it extends fully. Secure it in place using the provided screws.

4. Outside View: From the outside of the door, insert the exterior trim assembly into the hole, aligning it with the deadbolt latch. Secure the trim assembly using the provided screws.

5. Inside Installation: From the inside of the door, insert the interior trim assembly into the hole, aligning it with the deadbolt latch. Secure the trim assembly using the provided screws.

Ensure that the deadbolt operates smoothly and engages properly with the strike plate on the door jamb. Test the deadbolt by closing the door and turning the thumbturn or key to lock and unlock it.
