4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Weiser SmartCode 10 Keyless Entry Door Lock

• Unlocking with a User Code: Enter your 4-8 digit user code on the keypad, then press the Weiser button. The lock will unlock.
• Locking the Door: Press the Weiser button on the keypad. The door will lock automatically.
• Auto-Lock Function: The lock can be programmed to automatically re-lock after a set period (e.g., 30 seconds) after being unlocked. This feature enhances security.
• Passage Mode: This mode allows the door to remain unlocked for continuous access. To activate/deactivate, refer to the programming instructions in your detailed guide.
• Emergency Egress: The interior lever handle is always free for exit, regardless of the lock's status. This is a safety feature allowing quick escape in emergencies.
• Key Override: In case of battery depletion or if preferred, the lock can be operated using the physical key provided. Insert the key and turn to unlock or lock.
• Programming User Codes: Up to 30 user codes can be programmed. Refer to the programming section of your SmartCode 10 manual for steps on adding, deleting, or changing user codes. Programming can be done from the outside.

• Locking from Outside: Turn the key in the exterior knob's cylinder to the locked position, then remove the key.
• Locking/Unlocking from Inside: Use the turn piece on the interior knob to lock or unlock the door.

5. Maintenance

• Battery Replacement (SmartCode 10): The SmartCode 10 operates on a 9V battery. Replace the battery when the low battery indicator activates (refer to your specific manual for indicator details). To replace, access the battery compartment on the interior assembly.
• Cleaning: Clean the lock surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Exterior Unit Design: The exterior unit of the SmartCode 10 is sealed and includes a drip hole at the bottom to allow moisture to escape. Do not obstruct this hole.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the key cylinder with a graphite-based lubricant if key operation becomes stiff. Do not use oil-based lubricants.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Weiser locks, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Lock Not Responding (SmartCode 10): Check the 9V battery. If the battery is low or depleted, replace it.
• Exterior Handle Moves But Does Not Unlock (SmartCode 10): This is normal behavior when the lock is engaged. The handle is designed to move freely without engaging the bolt when locked. Ensure a valid user code is entered or the key is used to unlock.
• Auto-Lock Delay Adjustment: The SmartCode 10 auto-lock delay can be set up to a maximum of 99 seconds. If you are unable to achieve this setting, ensure you are following the programming instructions precisely. The auto-lock feature cannot be completely disabled.
• Key Cannot Be Removed (SmartCode 10/Fairfax Knob): For keyed entry, the key must be returned to the fully locked or unlocked position before it can be removed from the cylinder.
• Interior Handle Not Engaging Bolt: The interior handle of the SmartCode 10 is designed to always engage the bolt for emergency egress, regardless of the lock's status. This is a safety feature.
• Loose Handle/Lever: Ensure all mounting screws are securely fastened. If a set screw is loose, tighten it carefully. If a specialized set screw is required, contact Weiser customer support for assistance.
• Difficulty Re-keying: Ensure you are using the correct SmartKey tool and following the re-keying instructions precisely.
