4.1 Setting/Changing the Password

The lock allows for a 1-11 digit non-repetitive password. The order of pressing the buttons does not matter. For example, if your code is "123Y", pressing "123Y" or "Y123" will unlock the door.

To set or change the password, you typically need to access the internal mechanism of the keypad unit. This usually involves removing the back panel of the keypad unit (before installation or by carefully detaching it if already installed) and adjusting the internal pins or levers corresponding to your desired code. Consult the specific instructions in your physical manual for detailed steps on pin configuration.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Sonew Digital Mechanical Keyless Combination Door Lock, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
