Master the Philips Built-in Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt Installation – Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Preparing Your Door for the Upgrade
Is Your Door Ready for a Smart Makeover?Let’s kick off our installation by ensuring our door is compatible and ready for the Philips Wi-Fi Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt.
First, check the measurements. Ensure our door is at least 1 ½ inches thick and that the existing deadbolt hole is adequately sized—typically, a 2 1/8 inch hole is required for installation.
Next, remove any old hardware. If we’re replacing an existing deadbolt, utilize a screwdriver to take off the old lock and plate, making sure to clean the area of any debris or old screws.
Inspect the door surface. If there are any scratches or worn areas exposed after the old hardware is removed, clean those spots up to ensure a smooth, fresh installation of the smart deadbolt.
With our door prepared, we’re all set to proceed to the next exciting step!
Step 2: Installing the Deadbolt Mechanism
Watch Us Transform Our Door in Minutes!Now that our door is prepped, let’s install the main deadbolt mechanism! Start by taking the new deadbolt unit and aligning it with the hole in the door. Ensure that the latch is facing the direction of the door frame; this is crucial for proper functionality.
Next, secure the deadbolt with the provided screws. We’ll use a screwdriver to tighten them firmly but be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage the lock.
Install the exterior part of the lock. Position the exterior panel onto the door, ensuring that the palm recognition scanner faces outward. Insert the screws to fix it in place, following a secure pattern—top, bottom, then middle.
Connect the battery pack. Following the instructions in the kit, connect the battery pack to its designated compartment, ensuring a snug fit. This step powers our smart features!
With the mechanism in place, we’re one step closer to completing our smart lock transformation!
Step 3: Connecting to Wi-Fi and Configuring Settings
Let’s Make Our Deadbolt Smarter Together!Now, let’s connect our new deadbolt to Wi-Fi and set it up through the app. This step is crucial for accessing all the smart features and controlling our lock remotely!
Download the Philips Smart Lock app. Search for it in our device’s app store, then install and open the app.
Create or sign into our account. Follow the prompts to register or log in.

Next, check the app connection. Open the Philips Smart Lock app and try locking and unlocking the deadbolt remotely. If it responds seamlessly, we’re on the right track!
Adjust settings if necessary. If we encounter any issues, revisiting the app to review permissions or reconfiguring our Wi-Fi settings can solve most problems. For example, if the lock doesn’t respond, ensure it’s still connected to our Wi-Fi network.
