Troubleshooting

The lock cannot be locked or unlocked by the keypad. Make sure the lock is programmed with at least one User Code and that the User Codes are not disabled. If needed, restore the lock’s default settings.
The keypad doesn’t respond when touched (no lights are visible and no beeping is heard). Make sure the cables are properly connected, and make sure the batteries are new and installed correctly.

The door can be locked with the Lock button, but the User Code will not unlock the door. Make sure the User Code is correct and that the Lock button is pushed after entering the User Code. If the door still won’t unlock, use a key to unlock the door. Call technical support for further troubleshooting. When the door is closed and the Lock button is pressed to lock the door, the lock beeps 3 times. When the door is open and the Lock button is pressed to lock the door, the lock doesn’t beep. Make sure that the hole in the door frame behind the strike is drilled at least 1 inch (25 mm) deep. Also, make sure the strike plate is aligned with the latch bolt. If needed, reposition the strike.

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. Restrict access to your lock’s interior assembly and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.
5. Protect your User Codes and Mastercode.
6. Dispose of used batteries according to local laws and regulations.

CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry. This lock has a pre-set User Code and Mastercode. Upon installation and set-up, replace both of these codes with your own. Since anyone with access to the interior assembly can reset the lock and change the User Codes, you must restrict access to the interior assembly and routinely check the User Codes to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.

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.
