Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and security of your Baldwin deadbolt. While the lock is designed for easy installation, professional assistance is recommended if you are unfamiliar with door hardware installation. All necessary mounting hardware is included.
1. Pre-Installation Check
- Verify all parts are present according to the packing list.
- Ensure your door is properly prepped for a standard deadbolt installation.
2. Mechanical Installation
Follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate installation template for mounting the deadbolt mechanism, exterior keypad assembly, and interior thumb turn assembly. Ensure all screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.

3. Battery Installation
- Remove the interior cover of the deadbolt.
- Insert 4 AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
- Replace the interior cover. The lock will perform a self-check.
Note: Use only new, high-quality alkaline batteries. Frequent battery replacement may be necessary depending on usage and environmental factors.
4. Programming User Codes
Your deadbolt can store up to 30 unique user codes. Refer to the full programming guide for detailed steps on adding, deleting, and modifying user codes.
- Enter the default programming code (found on the back of the interior assembly or in your quick start guide).
- Follow the voice prompts or indicator lights to add a new 4-8 digit user code.
- Test the new user code to ensure it locks and unlocks the deadbolt.
5. Z-Wave Pairing
To integrate your deadbolt with a Z-Wave smart home system:
- Initiate the "Add Device" or "Inclusion" mode on your Z-Wave controller.
- On the deadbolt keypad, enter your programming code, then press the "Z-Wave" button (or follow specific instructions for your model to enter pairing mode).
- The lock will indicate successful pairing (e.g., a green light or audible confirmation).
- Test the lock's functionality from your Z-Wave controller.
Operating Instructions
1. Locking the Door
- From Exterior (Keypad): Press the Baldwin logo button or the lock icon on the keypad. The deadbolt will extend.
- From Interior (Thumb Turn): Rotate the thumb turn to the locked position.
- Via Z-Wave: Use your Z-Wave controller or smart home app to send a lock command.
2. Unlocking the Door
- From Exterior (Keypad): Enter a valid 4-8 digit user code, then press the checkmark button. The deadbolt will retract.
- From Exterior (Key): Insert the physical key into the cylinder and turn to unlock.
- From Interior (Thumb Turn): Rotate the thumb turn to the unlocked position.
- Via Z-Wave: Use your Z-Wave controller or smart home app to send an unlock command.
3. Secure Screen Technology
To prevent unauthorized access through fingerprint analysis on the touchscreen, the Secure Screen Technology requires you to touch two random digits before entering your actual code. This disperses fingerprint smudges across the keypad, making it harder to discern your code.
Maintenance
1. Battery Replacement
The deadbolt will provide a low battery warning (e.g., flashing light, audible alert). Replace all four AA alkaline batteries promptly when this occurs. Depending on usage, batteries may need to be replaced approximately every 3-6 months.
- Remove the interior cover.
- Remove old batteries and dispose of them responsibly.
- Insert new AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- Replace the interior cover.
2. Cleaning
To clean the exterior and interior surfaces of your deadbolt:
- Use a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- For the touchscreen, gently wipe with a microfiber cloth.
3. Finish Care (Finishes™)
Baldwin's Finishes™ are designed for long-lasting durability. Regular cleaning as described above is sufficient. Do not apply waxes or polishes unless specifically recommended by Baldwin for your finish type.
