4. Operation
Keyless Entry
To unlock the door using the keypad, enter your valid user code. The lever will then be operable to open the door.
User Code Management
The lock supports up to 30 unique user codes, one temporary one-time user code, and one programming code. Refer to your installation guide for instructions on how to add, modify, or delete these codes.
Lock Modes
The SmartCode 955 offers three operational modes:
- Auto-Lock Mode: The lever automatically locks after a set period following entry.
- Passage Mode: The lever remains unlocked for continuous access. This mode can be activated or deactivated using the turnpiece.
- Disable Turnpiece: This setting keeps the lever in Auto-Lock mode, preventing manual override to Passage mode. This is useful for specific commercial applications.
Low Light Entry

5. Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The electronic lever operates on one 9V battery, which is included and typically lasts for approximately 3 years. When the battery level is low, the lock will provide an indicator. To replace the battery, remove the interior cover and insert a new 9V alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity.
6. Troubleshooting
Intrusion Alert
If three consecutive incorrect user codes are entered, the lock will sound an alarm and disable the keypad for one minute. This security feature prevents unauthorized access attempts. Wait for the minute to pass before attempting to enter a valid code again.
General Issues
- If the lock is unresponsive, check the battery level and replace if necessary.
