*Smart Engine securing screw
In the small plastic bag that contains the extension pieces, you’ll find a tiny screw that you can use to secure the electronic smart engine in the inside knob.

It is recommended to use this screw when placing the Bold Smart Cylinder in public places such as gyms, hotels, and office buildings. The screw adds an additional level of security as it prohibits anyone from taking out the smart engine.

You should insert the tiny screw before placing the Bold Smart Cylinder in the door. There’s a small hole in the back of the inside knob to fit the screw. After the screw has been inserted, it’s impossible to take out the electronic smart engine without removing the entire Bold Smart Cylinder from the door.
