Installing the Refrigerator Kit
Mount the strike
at least
3.5"
from
NON-hiNgEd EdgE
of the refrigerator.
There are two main parts of this installation: installing the strike and installing the
eLock assembly. The strike and the eLock assembly can be mounted either with foam
tape or by drilling holes and using screws. It is important to note that mounting the
strike and the eLock assembly are independent of each other. One can be foam
tape mounted, and one can be drill mounted if desired. The two do not need
to be mounted using the same method.
a. Screw one tamper resistant sheet
metal screw into the center of the strike's
slotted area.
Note:
The end of the metal
strike needs to curve
up.
b. Place the plastic strike cover over the
metal strike. If strike was mounted using
foam tape, please proceed to Step 3.
c. Attach with one tamper resistant
machine screw.

Foam Tape Installation

of the strike is used, the strike will
not
be adjustable once it's put in place.
a. Clean top of both the refrigerator
and the strike with rubbing alcohol.
Wait for the alcohol to dry.
b. With a pencil, mark refrigerator 7-1 ⁄16"
from the front of the door and at least
3.5" from the non-hinged edge.
Measure from this line to the front
of the cabinet (dim. “A”); cut a piece
of tape this length.
c. Remove tape backer and affix to end
of strike. The upward curve should be
on top. Apply tape to the opposite
side. Remove backer. Line up strike
with line on refrigerator; apply
pressure to seal it on.
Drilling Installation
a. Before drilling, verify that there are
no refrigerant lines inside the top
of the refrigerator.
b. Drill a 9/64" hole, 6-1 ⁄16" from
the edge of the front of the refrigerator
and at least 3.5" from the non-hinged
edge of the refrigerator.
Note:
The end of the metal
strike needs to curve
up.
