Setup and Installation

Installation of the Kwikset SmartCode deadbolt is designed to be straightforward, typically requiring only a Philips head screwdriver. Ensure your door preparation meets the standard specifications for deadbolt installation before proceeding.

1. Prepare the Door

• Verify door thickness (1-3/8" to 2").
• Check backset (2-3/8" or 2-3/4").
• Ensure cross bore and edge bore holes are correctly drilled.

2. Install Latch and Strike Plate

• Insert the latch into the door edge, ensuring the "UP" arrow is facing upwards. Secure with screws.
• Install the strike plate on the door frame, aligning it with the latch bolt.

3. Install Exterior Keypad Assembly

• Feed the cable through the cross bore hole.
• Align the tailpiece with the center hole of the latch.
• Press the exterior assembly flush against the door.

4. Install Interior Assembly

• Attach the mounting plate to the door using screws, ensuring the cable passes through the opening.
• Connect the cable from the exterior assembly to the interior assembly.
• Mount the interior assembly onto the mounting plate and secure it.

5. Install Batteries

The lock requires 4 AA alkaline batteries (not included). Open the battery cover on the interior assembly and insert the batteries, observing polarity (+/-). Close the cover securely.

6. Door Handing Process

This step is crucial for the lock to learn the orientation of your door. After battery installation, the lock will automatically perform a handing process. If it doesn't, press the "Lock" button on the keypad. The latch bolt should extend and retract to determine door handing.

Operating Instructions

Programming User Codes

The lock supports multiple user codes (4-8 digits in length). It is recommended to create unique codes for different users for security and tracking purposes.

1. Ensure the door is open and unlocked.
2. Press the Program button on the interior assembly once.
3. Enter a new 4-8 digit user code on the keypad.
4. Press the Lock button once.
5. If successful, the keypad will flash green and beep once. If unsuccessful, it will flash red and beep three times.

Note: To delete a user code, follow the same steps but enter the code you wish to delete. The lock will confirm deletion.

Locking the Door

• From Exterior: Press the Lock button on the keypad.
• From Interior: Turn the thumbturn to the vertical position.
• Auto-Lock: If enabled, the lock will automatically engage after a preset delay (e.g., 30 seconds, 5 minutes).

Unlocking the Door

• Using Keypad: Enter a valid user code. The keypad will illuminate green and the deadbolt will retract.
• Using Key: Insert the physical key into the keyhole and turn to unlock.
• From Interior: Turn the thumbturn to the horizontal position.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the batteries are low, the lock will emit a series of beeps and the keypad will flash red when attempting to lock or unlock. Replace all four AA alkaline batteries promptly to ensure continued operation.

1. Remove the battery cover on the interior assembly.
2. Remove old batteries and dispose of them properly.
3. Insert four new AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Replace the battery cover.

Note: After replacing batteries, it is good practice to test the lock's functionality with a user code and the physical key.

Cleaning

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

SmartKey Re-keying

The SmartKey Security feature allows you to re-key your lock to any other Kwikset key. This is useful if you want to match your new deadbolt to existing Kwikset locks in your home.

1. Insert your functioning key into the cylinder and turn it 90 degrees clockwise to the horizontal position.
2. Insert the SmartKey tool fully and firmly into the SmartKey hole.
3. Remove the SmartKey tool and then remove your functioning key.
4. Insert your new Kwikset key fully and slowly turn it 180 degrees counter-clockwise.
