Take the Linus® unit out of the box and open the wings to remove the mounting plate.

Step 2. Install the Mounting Plate on the Door

Add the mounting plate onto the internal side of your existing cylinder. You may need to loosen the grub screws (the screws on the mounting plate that go around the cylinder) in order to secure the plate properly. This can be done using the Allen key that is provided in the box. Once the plate is on the cylinder, tighten the screws back up holding the short end of the Allen key.
