### Overview

After the installation of locks, it is recommended to follow these checklist to ensure your lock is operating as designed.

#### Post-Installation Checklist

- Insert batteries into lock, and confirm the lock powers up 
    - If lock does not power up, follow [troubleshooting steps](https://help.33lock.com/troubleshooting-hub#main-content)
- Check that the exterior handle of the lock can only be turned downwards 
    - If you can turn the handle both upwards and downwards, please refer to Step 10 in the [IntelliMortise Installation Manual](https://help.33lock.com/intellimortise-installation-material?hsLang=en-us)
- With the door closed and latched, turn the deadbolt thumb turn in and out to confirm smooth operation 
    - Check the mortise faceplate for alignment
    - Check the strike plate for alignment
- Insert the key into the cylinder, and ensure the key is able to: 
    - Retract the latch
    - Throw and retract the deadbolt
- Throw the deadbolt, then rotate the inside handle downwards and confirm the deadbolt automatically retracts with a single motion
- Ensure [Firmware is up-to-date](https://help.33lock.com/updating-lock-firmware?hsLang=en-us)
