Using your tack-remover, remove all the trim retaining plugs.

|
|
Now remove the lock mechanism clip using a flat screwdriver or tack-remover |
The next step is to remove the lock-barrel. This is achieved by pressing the release mechanism using a small screwdriver, turning the door-key and withdrawing the barrel.

You are now ready to mark the rear door for drilling. Use the supplied template or the zinc-coated backing plate.
|
| Once marked, drill the holes using a small pilot drill bit followed by a 10mm drill bit or if you prefer, use a conical drill bit. Be sure to seal the holes with touchup paint.
| 
|
| You are now ready to fit the zinc-coated backplate. This is done in 3 very simple steps as indicated in the illustration below: |
| Fit the self-adhesive gasket to the back of the stainless-steel plate and apply a small amount of silicone around each threaded stud.
| 
|
| Fit the plate to the door, fit the Nyloc nuts to the threaded studs and tighten
|
|
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
These are self Locking nuts and will not come loose
Over tightening may cause damage
|
The final step in the installation of Armaplate is to make sure that the keyhole
is perfectly aligned. Since the locking nuts were not over-tightened, there is
still a small amount of adjustment available by gently tapping the edge of the
plate |
|
|
Looking squarely at the keyhole, make sure the lock-mechanism is in the center of the hole in the Armaplate. If it is not perfectly aligned, use a soft-faced mallet to gently move the plate to the correct position |
Finally, close the door, insert the door key and make sure that the door locks
and unlocks easily |
|
Once you are happy that the plate is fitted correctly, replace the inner door panels, door pull and window winder. |
