Smart Code at a Glance
Normal Operation
Activating the Screen
Locking the Door
- Activate the screen.
- Press the Lock symbol.
Note: If no user codes are programmed, the door cannot be locked via touchscreen.
SecureScreen™
SecureScreen is an added security feature that displays random digits before you enter a user code to unlock the door. This feature ensures that there are fingerprints on all digits so that codes cannot be identified by examining the touchscreen for fingerprints.
If desired, this feature can be disabled by turning switch #4 to the off position.
Z-Wave & ZigBee Systems
-
Lock Inclusion
- “Inclusion” refers to the process in which the lock is added to a Z-Wave or ZigBee controller.
- Initiate the Inclusion process at your ZigBee or Z-Wave controller. Refer to your control system instructions for more information.
-
Inclusion Troubleshooting
If Inclusion is unsuccessful, perform the Exclusion process. Then repeat the Inclusion process. If Inclusion is still unsuccessful, consult the online Troubleshooting Guide, available on the SmartCode 916 page of www.kwikset.com. -
Lock Exclusion
“Exclusion” refers to the process in which the lock is removed from a Z-Wave or ZigBee controller. Initiate the Exclusion process at your Z-Wave or ZigBee controller. Refer to your control system instructions for more information.
Use the chart to determine which button to press during Inclusion and Exclusion.
System Notes
Z-Wave
In order to fully utilize this product, you must have a Z-Wave controller compatible with door locks. Z-Wave is a “Wireless mesh network,” and results may vary based on building construction and communication path, with 35 feet+ being typical installed distance from the network controller. It may be necessary to install additional Z-Wave beaming capable devices that can serve as repeaters to enhance the communication path between the lock and controller for a more robust Z-Wave network.
ZigBee
ZigBee is a “Wireless mesh network,” and results may vary based on building construction and communication path, with 35+ feet being the typical installed distance in a standard home environment and 250 feet+ when the lock has a clear line of sight with the network controller. It may be necessary to install additional ZigBee devices to enhance the communication path between the lock and controller for a more robust ZigBee network.
Programming Codes
Programming Information
It is recommended that you add and delete all user codes through your Z-Wave or ZigBee control system. If your system does not allow this, the following sections will provide instructions for how to add and delete codes at the lock.
User Codes Requirements
Each user code must be a unique code between 4 and 8 digits, depending on your control system. A total of 30 user codes may be programmed.
Programming Behavior
Successful Programming
The Checkmark symbol will illuminate and you will hear one beep*.
Unsuccessful Programming
The “X” pattern will flash three times, and you will hear three beeps*.
Programming Timeout
If the screen is not pressed for 20 seconds, the system will time out (indicated by three beeps* and the “X” pattern flashing three times), and you will need to restart the procedure.
*A beeping sound will only be heard if switch #3 is on.
Enabling and Adding a Master code (Optional for Enhanced Security)
User codes can be programmed with or without a master code. Using a master code is an optional, added-security measure. It is not enabled by default. A master code is used to add and delete user codes, but it cannot unlock the door (unless the same code is programmed as a user code, though this is not recommended). The master code must be 4-8 digits.
If the screen is not pressed for 20 seconds, the system will time out, and you will need to restart the procedure.
Disabling and Deleting the Master code
If the screen is not pressed for 20 seconds, the system will time out, and you will need to restart the procedure.
Adding User Codes
Mastercode NOT enabled
IF UNSUCCESSFUL
- Make sure the user code is not a duplicate and that it is between 4 and 8 digits during your next attempt.
- Make sure the lock has room for an additional code. If all user code positions are filled, delete a code to make room for this one.
TEST CODE
While the door is open and locked, test the user code to make sure it unlocks the door.
Master code enabled
IF UNSUCCESSFUL
- Make sure the user code is not a duplicate and that it is between 4 and 8 digits during your next attempt.

- Make sure to enter a valid master code in step 3.
TEST CODE
While the door is open and locked, test the user code to make sure it unlocks the door.
Deleting a Single User Code
Master code NOT enabled
IF UNSUCCESSFUL
Make sure to enter the same valid code in steps 4 and 6.
TEST CODE
While the door is open and locked, test the user code to make sure it no longer unlocks the door.
Mastercode enabled
IF UNSUCCESSFUL
Make sure to enter the same valid code in steps 6 and 8. Make sure to enter a valid mastercode in step 4.
TEST CODE
