Setup and Installation

Installation of the Schlage Connect deadbolt is designed to be straightforward, typically requiring only a screwdriver. For optimal functionality with a smart home system, it is recommended to pair the lock with your Z-Wave hub before full installation on the door.

Pre-Installation Considerations:

• Ensure your door is properly prepared for a deadbolt installation.
• A Z-Wave controller/hub is required for smart home integration and remote functionalities. This is sold separately.

General Installation Steps:

1. Remove any existing deadbolt hardware from your door.
2. Install the deadbolt latch into the door edge.
3. Install the exterior keypad assembly. Ensure the cable is routed correctly.
4. Install the interior mounting plate.
5. Connect the cable from the exterior assembly to the interior unit.

Z-Wave Pairing (Inclusion):

To integrate your deadbolt with a Z-Wave smart home system, you must perform an inclusion process. It is highly recommended to do this before fully mounting the lock on the door, especially if the hub is not within 10 feet of the installation location.

• Initiate the inclusion mode on your Z-Wave controller/hub. Refer to your hub's manual for specific instructions.
• On the deadbolt's keypad, press the Schlage button, then enter your 6-digit programming code, and finally press 0.
• A green checkmark on the keypad indicates successful inclusion. If unsuccessful, a red 'X' will appear.
• Important: If you plan to change the default code length (e.g., from 4 digits to a longer length), you must do so before pairing the lock with your SmartThings hub or similar controller. This setting is typically read only during the initial pairing.

Managing Access Codes:

The deadbolt supports up to 30 unique access codes. Refer to the full programming guide (usually available online or with the product packaging) for detailed instructions on adding, deleting, and modifying user codes.

Smart Home Integration (Z-Wave):

When paired with a Z-Wave compatible smart home hub, the Schlage Connect deadbolt enables advanced functionalities:

• Remote Access: Lock or unlock your door from anywhere via your smartphone or web interface (requires compatible smart home hub and app).
• App Control: Manage lock settings, view activity logs, and control the lock directly from your smart home app.
• Voice Control: Integrate with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-free control (requires compatible smart home hub and setup).
• Home Automation Scenes: Include your smart lock in automated routines with other smart devices within your Z-Wave system.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement:

The Schlage Connect deadbolt is battery-operated and does not require hardwiring. A low battery indicator provides several weeks of warning before the batteries are depleted. Always keep a backup key available to prevent lockouts.

• When the low battery indicator activates, replace all four AA alkaline batteries.
• Typical battery life is approximately 18 months with semi-regular usage.

Cleaning:

To clean the exterior and interior components, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Lock not responding to codes:
  Solution: Ensure batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Verify that the user code is correct and active. Try the programming code to confirm basic functionality.
• Z-Wave pairing failure:
  Solution: Ensure the lock is within range of the Z-Wave hub. Try performing a Z-Wave exclusion first, then re-attempt inclusion.
• Difficulty changing code length with SmartThings:
  Solution: If you wish to change the code length, it must be done before pairing with the SmartThings hub. If already paired, you may need to exclude the lock, change the code length setting (if available via the lock's direct programming), and then re-include it.
• Lock mechanism is loud:
  Note: The internal mechanism for locking and unlocking the deadbolt can produce an audible sound. This is a characteristic of the product and not typically an indication of a malfunction.
• Lock tampering concerns:
  Information: The deadbolt includes an anti-pick shield designed to enhance security against lock tampering.

Z-Wave Exclusion (Unpairing):

If you need to remove the lock from your Z-Wave network or re-pair it with a new hub, perform an exclusion:

1. Initiate the exclusion mode on your Z-Wave controller/hub.
2. On the deadbolt's keypad, press the Schlage button, then enter your 6-digit programming code, and finally press 0.
3. A green checkmark confirms successful exclusion.
