Programming Notes

  • Add User Code:
    • Up to 50 User Codes can be saved. User Codes should be 4 to 8 digits in length.
    • For security reasons, the first 4 digits of each User Code must be unique. For example, you are unable to program a User Code 1-2-3-4-5 as well as a User Code 1-2-3-4-6.
    • Press the lock button before entering your code to light up the keypad at night.
  • Enable/Disable Programming Code:
    • Optional: A Programming Code enables you to make programming changes without needing to access the programming button. This is ideal for landlords to allow programming from the outside without access to the interior programming button.
    • One Programming Code can be saved and should be 4 to 8 digits in length.
    • The Programming Code can not be the same as any User Code and will not unlock the lock.
    • To program the lock when the Programming Code is enabled, instead of pressing the programming button, enter the Programming Code, press the checkmark and proceed with the remaining steps on page 19. Repeat the programming steps to disable the Programming Code. Please note once a Programing Code is enabled, the programming button is disabled and can only be used to factory reset the lock.
  • Delete All User Codes: Keypad locking function will be disabled when User Codes are deleted. The lock can only be operated manually by key during this time.
  • Enable/Disable Audio: LED status indicator will still function once audio is disabled. Repeat the programming steps to enable the audio.

Programming Notes

  • Enable/Disable User Codes: When all User Codes are disabled, all electronic functions will be disabled as well. The door must be locked or unlocked manually with the key. Repeat the programming steps to enable the User Codes.
  • Add One-Time Use Code: Up to 10 One-time User Codes can be saved. One-time User Codes should be 4 to 8 digits in length. The One-Time User Code will be deleted automatically after it is used. The same One-Time User Code can be created again after it’s used.
  • Change Auto-Lock Time Delay: Press the keypad number that corresponds to your time delay preference:
    • “1”: 30 seconds
    • “2”: 1 minute
    • “3”: 3 minutes
    • “4”: 5 minutes
    • “5”: 10 minutes
  • Enable/Disable AutoLock:
    • The default setting is disabled. Once you enable auto-lock the default setting is set to 30 seconds.
    • To change the auto lock time delay, see the “Change Auto-Lock Time Delay” programming step.
    • Repeat the programming steps to disable auto-lock.
  • Door Rehanding Identification:
    • Perform this process for the lock to learn the locking and unlocking direction of the door.
    • This feature is used for the lock to learn the orientation of your door (left- or righthanded). If stuck/jammed bolt error continues to occur after performing this step, please make sure there is no obstruction from strike or door jamb to prevent the bolt from extending.
  • Factory Reset: A factory reset will delete all User Codes and change all programming to factory settings.

Important Safeguards

  1. Read all instructions in their entirety.
  2. Familiarize yourself with all warning and caution statements.
  3. Remind all family members of safety precautions.
  4. Always have access to your lock’s standard key.
  5.  If using the Auto-Lock features, make sure you have your smartphone or standard key with you to prevent locking yourself out.
  6. Familiarize yourself with the system alerts.
  7.  Replace low batteries immediately.
  8. Dispose of used batteries according to local laws and regulations.
    • WARNING: This Manufacturer advises that no lock can provide complete security by itself. This lock may be defeated by forcible or technical means, or evaded by entry elsewhere on the property. No lock can substitute for caution, awareness of your environment, and common sense. Builder’s hardware is available in multiple performance grades to suit the application. In order to enhance security and reduce risk, you should consult a qualified locksmith or other security professional.
    • CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry. Since anyone with access to the back panel can change the User Codes, you must restrict access to the back panel and routinely check the User Codes to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge. The use of a programming code can help protect your system’s settings.
