Learn how to replace the interior assembly metal plate on your Wyze Lock Bolt. This guide covers removal, installation, and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Replace the interior assembly metal plate on your Wyze Lock Bolt by removing the old plate, aligning the new one, and securing it with the original screws.
When to replace the metal plate
The interior assembly metal plate anchors the lock's interior assembly to the door. If the plate becomes bent, cracked, or stripped, the lock may feel loose or fail to latch properly. Replacing it restores a secure fit without needing a full lock replacement.
Replacement steps
- Remove the interior assembly: Unscrew the two screws on the interior side of the door that hold the lock assembly to the metal plate. Pull the assembly away carefully to avoid damaging the wire harness. Keep the screws in a safe place; they are reused with the new plate.
- Detach the old metal plate: The metal plate is held by the same two screws. Remove them and slide the plate off the door. Inspect the door surface for any debris or damage. Check that the mounting holes are not stripped; if they are, use a longer screw or a wall anchor.
- Install the new metal plate: Position the new Wyze Lock Bolt Interior Assembly Metal Plate over the mounting holes. Secure it with the original screws, tightening them evenly until the plate is flush against the door. Do not overtighten; the plate can warp and cause the lock to bind.
- Reattach the interior assembly: Align the interior assembly over the plate and push it into place. Reinsert the two screws and tighten them until the assembly is snug but not compressed. Test the lock function before fully tightening: the bolt should move freely.
