SmartKey Rekeying Instructions
The SmartKey feature allows you to rekey your deadbolt to a new key in three simple steps. This is useful for security updates or if you wish to use a single key for multiple SmartKey locks.
- Insert Current Key: Insert your currently working key fully into the cylinder and turn it 90 degrees clockwise to the horizontal position.
- Insert Learning Tool: While the current key is still turned 90 degrees, insert the SmartKey learning tool fully into the small hole on the face of the cylinder. Remove the learning tool.
- Insert New Key: Remove the current key. Insert your new key fully into the cylinder and turn it 180 degrees counter-clockwise back to the vertical position. Your lock is now rekeyed to the new key. Test the new key to ensure proper operation.
Important: Always test the new key with the door open first to avoid accidental lockout.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your deadbolt.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the deadbolt mechanism feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant (not oil-based) into the keyway and the latch mechanism. Do not over-lubricate.
- Screw Tightness: Periodically check and tighten all mounting screws to ensure the deadbolt remains securely fastened to the door. Do not overtighten.
