Mounting Guides
The Danalock V3 can be mounted on your existing installation. In some cases we recommend replacing the existing cylinder with a new compatible cylinder, or we remove the inside parts of your existing locking cylinder and replace it with hardware to allow connection to the Danalock V3.

Scandi profile cylinders / Assa 2000
Below you will find a step-by-step guide on how to mount the Danalock V3 on a Scandinavian oval cylinder (Scandi) and the Assa 2000 locks, follow the guide below.
Mounting tools
Before you start the mounting process, we advise you to make sure to have the tools ready. To be able to mount the Danalock V3, you need to use the following tools:
- Two sets of pliers
- Philips screwdriver or torx depending on your current installation
Tools for mounting Danalock V3 on Scandi cylinders
1 Secure front cylinder
Place a piece of tape across the lock on the front of the door to prevent it from falling when the screws are removed.

3 Check tailpiece length
Continue to step 5 if there is no tailpiece installed.
Check your existing tailpiece. Most doors have tailpieces that extend 10 mm from the doorplate and will not require any length adjustment. An extra tailpiece has been supplied in case the tailpiece is less than 10 mm long.
Danalock V3 works with a tailpiece length of up to 35 mm. If the length exceeds 35 mm you will have to shorten it. Don't go shorter than 10 mm.
Checking existing tailpiece length
4 If tailpiece is too short
If the tailpiece is less than 10 mm long, remove the plate that holds the tailpiece and replace it with the tailpiece from the Danalock box.
Shorten the new tailpiece after installing the mountingplate. (See illustration in step 7).
Replacing existing tailpiece
5 Installing a tailpiece on an Assa 2000 lock setup
If the installation is done on an Assa 2000, install the provided tailpiece kit that came with the Danalock V3 Scandi package.
Shorten the new tailpiece after installing the mountingplate. (See illustration in step 7).

6 Mountingplate installation
Place the mountingplate where the thumb turn or key cylinder used to be on your door. The round hole in the middle of the plate is for the tailpiece.
Use the two screws that originally held the thumb turn to attach the back plate, or use the ones supplied in the Scandi kit that came with the Danalock V3 Scandi. Adjust the length if needed.

7 Ensure tailpiece length
To avoid damaging the Danalock, shorten the new cylinder tailpiece to max 35 mm from the door surface. Not shorter than 10 mm.
Use two sets of pliers or a wire cutter to shorten the tailpiece.
