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.

Q:
How long will the Smart Code operate on a set of batteries?
A:
Based on 15 operations per day, a single set of Alkaline batteries will operate the SC for over a
year.
Q:
What type of batteries do you recommend?
A:
For best results, use
new non-rechargeable
Alkaline batteries only.
Q:
I just installed a Smart Code on my door but it does not operate correctly
A:
This is probably due to incorrect or incomplete initialization. Please perform the following:
a.
Remove the battery pack
b.
On the Interior unit, press “Program” button three (3) times
c.
Wait at least 10 seconds
d.
Refer to section 8, “Bolt Direction Determination”.
Q:
I just completed the installation of a Smart Code unit on my door; I am unable to operate it
manually, although I checked for smooth bolt operation during installation. What should I do?
A:
You need to run the “Bolt Direction” routine again; allow the process to run to completion see
Section 8 in User’s Manual.
Q:
Sometimes, when I operate the lock manually, I “feel” a bump while turning the turn-piece.
A:
On installations where door alignment is less than optimum (Latch and strike do not quite line
up) the Smart Code may not be able to FULLY extend (or retract) the bolt when commanded to
do so. This causes the electro-mechanical components to go out of sync. To re-synchronize the
system, perform the following:
1.
Have the door repaired and aligned properly
2.
On the Smart Code unit push the “Lock” button
3.
On the Smart Code unit enter code to unlock
4.
The unit is now synchronized
Q:
I removed the battery pack momentarily and my lock does not work any more.
A:
The system did not initialize properly due to remaining charge. To correct perform the follow
-
ing:
a.
Remove battery pack
b.
Press “Program” button three times
c.
Wait 10 seconds.
d.
Insert battery pack.
e.
The system should flash the Green LED and beep, indicating proper
initialization
f.
Repeat a-d if initialization failed
Q:
I am planning to be away for several months; will my lock operate when I get back?
A:
When the system is idling, it consumes minimum power (very close to battery shelf life.) With
alkaline batteries, the lock should be operable after years of idle. See also Questions and Answers
below.
Q:
I replaced my batteries less than a year ago and need to replace them again.
A:
Check door alignment. If the
SmartCode
makes several attempts to lock or unlock the door, it
may mean that the door is warped or it does not line up correctly with the strike. Operating the lock
multiple times reduces battery life.
Avoid turning on the keypad light unnecessarily.
Q:
What settings should I use to get the maximum battery life out of my lock?
A:
Set “Status LED” (SW1) and “Auto-lock” (SW2) to the off position.
