Perform the door handing process
This step will teach the lock the orientation of your door and is crucial for lock operation.

- C. The Status LED will flash red and green, and the lock will beep. Press and release the Program button again.
- D. The latch bolt will retract and extend on its own to learn the orientation of the door. Did the Status LED turn green or red?
Red Status LED
- BALDWIN ESTATE DEADBOLTS:
- If your latch bolt is to the RIGHT of your interior assembly, and the Status LED is solid red after door handing, press and release the Program button again. The door handing process will restart.
- If you are unsure if your lock is Baldwin Estate, see step 2 on page 1.
- OTHER DEADBOLTS:
- If the Status LED is solid red after door handing, make sure the batteries are installed correctly and the lock interior is correctly installed. Perform steps SA-SD again.
- If the door handing process is still unsuccessful after a second attempt, see the Manual Door Handing section on page 4.
Confirm the lock status
- A. After successful handing, the Status LED blinks every six seconds to communicate whether the door is locked or unlocked.
- B. If the Status LED shows the opposite color to the latch bolt position, flip switch #4.
Pair the lock with your smart home system
- A. Initiate the pairing process through your smart home system (either through your smart home app, at your panel, or at your controller or hub). Refer to your smart home system instructions for more information.
- B. You may be prompted by your smart home system to scan the QR code on the interior assembly. If not, proceed to step C.
- C. When prompted by your smart home system to initiate pairing at the lock, press button “A” on the lock interior four times.
- D. If the pairing process is successful, re-name the lock in your system (if applicable).
- E. If unsuccessful, press button “B” nine times.
- Perform steps 7A-7D again.
- If still unsuccessful, follow your smart home system’s instructions to remove (exclude/unpair) the lock from any other network. Then perform steps 7A-7D again.

- For more convenient access to the programming buttons and the battery pack while the cover is installed, you may choose to unlock the window by removing the security screw.
- When the window is unlocked, you can slide up the window to access the battery pack and programming buttons.

ZigBee System Notes
Zig Bee is a “Wireless mesh network,” and results may vary based on building construction and communication path, with 35+ feet being typical installed distance in a standard home environment and 250 feet+ when the lock has a clear line of sight with the smart home controller or hub. It may be necessary to install additional Zig Bee devices to enhance the communication path between the lock and controller/hub for a more robust ZigBee network.
Manual Door Handing
If needed, the door handing process can be initiated manually. This is useful if the lock is being moved to a different door.
Important Safeguards
- Read all instructions in their entirety.
- Familiarize yourself with all warning and caution statements.
- Remind all family members of safety precautions.
- Always have access to your lock’s standard key.
- If using the Auto-Lock feature, make sure to have your standard key with you to prevent locking yourself out.
- Replace low batteries immediately.
- CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry. Restrict access to your lock’s back panel and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.
- WARNING: This Manufacturer advises that no lock can provide complete security by itself. This lock may be defeated by forcible or technical means, or evaded by entry elsewhere on the property. No lock can substitute for caution, awareness of your environment, and common sense. Builder’s hardware is available in multiple performance grades to suit the application. To enhance security and reduce risk, you should consult a qualified locksmith or other security professional.
