Why you would want to add codes to your Kwikset Smartcode
If you want to give someone access to your home but don’t want to give them a key, you can add their code to your Kwikset Smartcode. This will allow them to enter your home using their own code, which you can delete when you want to revoke their access. You can also add codes if you lose a key and don’t want to change the locks. In this article, we’ll show you how to add and delete codes on your Kwikset Smartcode.
How to add codes to your Kwikset Smartcode
Kwikset’s Smartcode electronic deadbolts offer an alternate way to enter your home that doesn’t require a key. If you have multiple people coming and going from your home, or if you simply don’t want to keep up with keys, a Smartcode lock may be a good choice for you. These locks can be programmed to accept up to 30 different user codes, so each family member or friend can have their own code. In order to program a new code into your lock, you will need to know the existing code or have the reset code that came with the lock.
What to do if you forget your code
If you forget your code, there are a few things you can do. First, try contacting Kwikset customer service. They may be able to help you reset your code. If that doesn’t work, you can always reset the lock by pressing the “Schlage” button on the back of the lock for five seconds. This will clear all codes and allow you to start fresh.
How to change your code
1. Start with the door open. With the door open, enter your 4-8 digit programming code, then press the * key. The red and green lights will flash once to indicate that you’ve successfully entered Programming Mode.
2. Press the button corresponding to the 1st entry position you wish to change, then enter your new code. The red and green lights will flash once to indicate that you’ve successfully programmed that code position.
3. Repeat step 2 for each additional entry position you wish to change.
4. When you’re finished, close the door to save your changes and exit Programming Mode.
How to delete a code
To delete a code, simply follow these steps:
1. Enter your 6-digit master code followed by the 8 button. The red LED will flash 3 times to indicate you’re in delete mode.
2. Enter the 4-digit code you wish to delete.
3. Press the 1/2 button. The red LED will flash 3 times to indicate the code was successfully deleted.
How many codes can be added
Kwikset Smartcode residential entry locks come with two pre-programmed codes – one for the owner and one for a guest – that can be erased and programmed with new codes as often as you wish. Up to 30 user codes can be programmed into the lock.
How to know if someone has been tampering with your lock
It can be concerning to find out that someone has been tinkering with your things, and your lock should be no different. Smartcodes are equipped with a feature that allows you to check if the code has been recently changed.
To do this, open up your Smartcode app and select the “Check Code” option. From there, you will be able to see if the code has been recently changed or if it is still the same as when you originally set it. This is a valuable tool to have in order to ensure that your property is secure and that no one is trying to access it without your permission.
How to troubleshoot if your lock isn’t working
If you’re having trouble with your lock, there are a few things you can try before contacting customer service. First, make sure that the batteries are correctly installed and that they’re not low. Second, check the door alignment — if it’s not aligned correctly, the mechanism won’t be able to engage properly. Finally, if you’ve recently changed your code, make sure that you’re entering it correctly — it’s easy to make a mistake when you’re typing in a new code.
If none of these troubleshooting tips help, then you can contact customer service for assistance.
