There are two ways to install the SwitchBot Keypad. We can attach the Keypad to the wall with adhesive tape, or install it with screws.
Install with screws ( Recommended )
Before installation, you will need
Step 1 - Confirm Installation Position
Stick the alignment sticker to where you'd like to install the Keypad and use a pencil to mark the positions of the screw holes.
Note: Installation position of the Keypad should be within 5 meters (16.4 feet) away from your lock.
Step 2 - Drill Holes
When installing on more rugged surfaces like concrete or brick:
Drill holes at the marked positions using the electric drill ( with a 6 mm [15/64"] drill bit ), then use the rubber hammer to hammer the expansion bolts into the wall.
When installing on surfaces like wood or plaster:
Drill holes at the marked positions using the electric drill (with a 2.8 mm [7/64"] drill bit). No need to use expansion bolts.
Step 3 - Attach Mounting Plate to the Wall
Affix the mounting plate to the wall using screws. Make sure the mounting plate is firmly attached and there should be no excess movement when you press either side. (If the surface is uneven, you may need to place two rubber rings at the bottom screw holes of the mounting plate.)
Steps 4 - Attach keypad to Mounting Plate
Align the two metal round buttons at the back of Keypad with the two round locating holes at the bottom of mounting plate. Then slide Keypad downwards along the mounting plate until it can not go any further.
Note: Removal alerts will be triggered every time the Keypad is removed from the mounting plate. So we recommend installing the Keypad with screws.
Install with Adhesive Tape
Step 1 - Attach Mounting Plate to the Wall
Attach adhesive tape to the back of mounting plate, then stick the mounting plate to the wall at the installation position. Press the mounting plate against the wall for 2 minutes to ensure it is firm. (Make sure the installation surface is smooth and clean. Make sure the temperature of the adhesive tape and installation surface is higher than 0°C.)
Step 2 - Attach keypad to Mounting Plate
Align the two metal round buttons at the back of Keypad with the two round locating holes at the bottom of mounting plate. Then slide Keypad downwards along the mounting plate until it can not go any further.
