5. Setup and Programming

After installation, you will need to program your lock with user codes. The Kwikset Obsidian supports both master code and non-master code programming methods.

5.1. Programming Without a Mastercode

This method allows you to add or delete user codes directly. Refer to the video below for a step-by-step guide.

5.2. Programming With a Mastercode

Using a master code provides an additional layer of security, preventing unauthorized programming. The master code must be programmed first, and then all subsequent user codes are added using the master code. Refer to the video below for detailed instructions.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Unlocking the Door

To unlock the door, touch the touchscreen to activate it. The numbers will illuminate. Enter your 4-8 digit user code. The deadbolt will retract, and the door can be opened.

6.2. Locking the Door

To lock the door, simply touch the touchscreen. The deadbolt will extend. If the Auto Lock feature is enabled, the lock will automatically engage 30 seconds after unlocking.

6.3. SecureScreen™ Technology

To prevent fingerprint analysis, the lock will display two random digits before you enter your code. Press these two random digits first, then enter your user code. This disperses fingerprints across the screen, making it harder to guess your code.

6.4. 9V Backup Power

If the internal AA batteries are completely drained, you can use a standard 9V battery to temporarily power the lock. Hold the 9V battery to the two terminals located at the bottom of the exterior touchscreen. While holding the battery, enter your user code to unlock the door. Replace the internal AA batteries immediately after gaining access.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Battery Replacement

The Kwikset Obsidian requires 4 AA batteries (not included). When the batteries are low, the lock will provide a low battery warning (e.g., a red light or audible alert). Replace all four batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. Use high-quality alkaline batteries for best performance.

7.2. Cleaning

Clean the touchscreen with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or touchscreen functionality.
