Changing the Mastercode

The mastercode is required to put the lock in programming mode, but it is not used to unlock the door. The lock is programmed with the 

default 

mastercode 0-0-0-0.  Replace this with a code of your own. 

The mastercode must be 4-10 digits.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

a.  The turnpiece cannot rotate or operate 
the lock.

Remove and reinstall the lock, making sure that the 
tailpiece is horizontal in step 6B and 8C.

b.  The lock cannot be locked or unlocked by 
the keypad.

Make sure the lock is programmed with at least one 
code and that the user codes are not disabled. If needed, 
perform a factory reset and enter the door handing code 

(see “Factory Reset”).

c.  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.

d.  After the lock has been working normally, 
the latch bolt locks up and the turnpiece will 

not rotate.

Re-enter the door handing code, using your mastercode. 
See “Factory Reset,” steps 2 and 3.

e.  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.

f.  When the door is closed and the Lock button 
is pressed to lock the door, the lock emits a 
system alert. When the door is open and the 
Lock button is pressed to lock the door, there is 

no system alert.

Make sure that the hole in the door frame behind the 
strike is drilled at least 1" (25 mm) deep. Also make sure 
the strike plate is aligned with the latch bolt. If needed, 
reposition the strike.

Disabling/Enabling User Codes

Perform this procedure once to disable all user codes, and repeat the procedure to re-enable user codes. The lock button and auto-lock function 
will be disabled until user codes are re-enabled, and the lock can only be operated by the key and turnpiece.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

Deleting a Single User Code

The lock is programmed with the 

default user code 1-2-3-4.  Delete this code. Add new codes of your own

 in section c.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

Enabling/Disabling Auto-Lock

This feature is not enabled by default. When enabled, the door will automatically lock after 30 seconds. This 
time can be adjusted in section b. After auto-lock is enabled, repeat this procedure to disable it as needed.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

Setting Auto-Lock Time Delay

Perform this procedure to change the pre-set 30 second time delay of the auto-lock feature.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

Mute

Perform this procedure to mute the beeping sound heard during programming and normal operation. 
Repeat the procedure to unmute the beeping sound.

CAUTION:

 Low battery indicators and system alerts will not be heard while the system is muted.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

Deleting All User Codes

The lock button and auto-lock function will be disabled until a new code is added, and the lock can only be operated by the key and turnpiece.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

Adding User Codes

Each user code must be a unique code between 4 and 10 digits. A total of 6 user codes may be programmed. Note: It is not recommended to 
program a user code that is the same as the mastercode.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming. 

Adding a One-Time User Code

A one-time user code may be used only once and will be deleted from the lock immediately after use. The one-time user code should not be the 
same as an existing user code.

  Keep door open and unlocked during programming.

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 qualifi ed locksmith or other security professional.

 CAUTION: 

This lock contains a pre-set mastercode (0-0-0-0) and 

user code (1-2-3-4). Immediately change these to codes of your own. 

To change the mastercode, follow the steps in “Changing the 
Mastercode” (Section D-b below).

To change the user code, fi rst delete it by following the steps in 
“Deleting a Single User Code”. Then, add a new code by following the 
steps in “Adding User Codes”.

 IMPORTANT: 

Please make sure that the door handing code was 

entered during installation. See step 9 on the reverse side of this 
document.
