1. Prepare the Door and Check Dimensions

If drilling a new door, use the supplied template and the complete door drilling instructions available at www.kwikset.com/doorprep.

1. A. Check Door Hole Diameter

   Measure to confirm that the hole in the door is either 2-1/8" (54 mm) or 1-1/2" (38 mm).

   [Image Description: Two diagrams showing measurements for door hole diameter: 2-1/8" (54 mm) and 1-1/2" (38 mm).]

   Note: Additional door preparation may be required for doors with 1-1/2" (38 mm) holes. Consult the deadbolt drilling instructions at www.kwikset.com/doorprep.

2. B. Check Backset

   Measure to confirm that the backset is either 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" (60 or 70 mm).

   [Image Description: Diagram showing backset measurement, indicating 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" (60 or 70 mm).]

3. C. Check Door Edge Hole

   Measure to confirm that the hole in the door edge is 1" (25 mm).

   [Image Description: Diagram showing measurement for the door edge hole, indicating 1" (25 mm).]

4. D. Check Door Thickness

   Measure to confirm that the door is between 1-3/8" and 2" (35 mm and 51 mm) thick.

   [Image Description: Diagram showing door thickness measurement, indicating 1-3/8" to 2" (35-51 mm).]

2. Install the Latch and Strike

1. A. Is the door edge chiseled?

   YES (door edge chiseled): Use latch "A". If the latch bolt is not already extended, extend the latch bolt as shown.

   NO (door edge not chiseled): Use latch "B" (not included). If the latch bolt is not already extended, extend the latch bolt as shown.

   [Image Description: Two options for latch installation based on whether the door edge is chiseled. Shows extending the latch bolt for both options.]

2. B. Position the Latch

   Hold the latch in front of the door hole, with the latch face flush against the door edge.

3. C. Is the D-shaped hole centered?

   YES: No adjustment is required. Proceed to the next step.

   NO: Rotate latch face as shown to extend latch.

   [Image Description: Diagram showing how to rotate the latch face to extend it if the D-shaped hole is not centered.]

4. D. Which latch are you installing?

   [Image Description: Visual indicator for Latch "A" and Latch "B" with D-shaped hole.]

5. E. Install the Strike

   Install strike (C) on the door frame. Make sure the hole in the door frame is drilled a minimum of 1" (25 mm) deep. Use screws (N or P) for installation. Longer screws install closest to the door jamb.

   [Image Description: Diagram showing strike installation on the door frame with screws, indicating longer screws near the jamb.]

3. Install the Exterior Keypad

1. A. Check Door Hole Diameter

   Confirm the door hole diameter: 2-1/8" (54 mm) or 1-1/2" (38 mm).

   If the diameter is 1-1/2" (38 mm), "D" (Adapter Ring) is required for installation. Install "D" on "F" (Exterior Assembly).

   If the diameter is 2-1/8" (54 mm), "D" is not needed. Discard "D".

   [Image Description: Diagrams showing the need for Adapter Ring "D" for 1-1/2" holes and no need for 2-1/8" holes.]

2. B. Locate Screws

   Locate screws (T) for step 3C and keep them within reach.

3. C. Install Exterior Keypad and Mounting Plate

   Attach the mounting plate (G, H) to the door. Route the cable (E) through the center hole, then push the cable into the bottom hole. Ensure the cable goes underneath the latch and is kept parallel to the edge of the door.

   Support the exterior assembly during mounting plate installation.

   Tighten screws (T) evenly (2x).

   [Image Description: Diagrams illustrating the mounting plate installation, cable routing, and tightening of screws.]

4. D. Test Latch Operation

   Insert key and test the latch. If the latch does not extend or retract smoothly, adjust screws (T). Remove the key when finished and ensure the latch bolt is fully extended.

4. Install the Interior Assembly

1. A. Prepare Interior Assembly

   Remove the battery cover and battery pack from the interior assembly (K, L, M).

   [Image Description: Diagram showing removal of battery cover and battery pack from interior assembly.]

2. B. Install Interior Assembly

   Ensure the turnpiece (L) is in the vertical position. Make sure the turnpiece shaft is rotated as shown.

   Align the interior assembly (K) onto the mounting plate (G, H).

   Ensure a tight cable connection (E).

   Lay excess cable flat inside the bottom of the interior housing.

   [Image Description: Diagrams showing the correct orientation of the turnpiece, alignment of the interior assembly, cable connection, and placement of excess cable.]

   Note: Do not install batteries until step 5.

5. Install Batteries and Perform Door Handing Process

This step teaches your lock the orientation of your door and is crucial for lock operation.

1. A. Install Batteries

   Install 4 AA batteries (J) into the battery pack (K). Ensure correct polarity. For best results, use new, non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries only.

   [Image Description: Diagram showing installation of 4 AA batteries into the battery pack with correct polarity indicated.]

2. B. Insert Battery Pack

   Make sure the door is open, and insert the battery pack (K) into the interior assembly.

   [Image Description: Diagram showing insertion of the battery pack into the interior assembly.]

3. C. Door Handing Process

   After a few seconds, the latch bolt will retract and extend on its own to learn the orientation of the door. This is the door handing process.

   The Status LED will indicate success or failure:

   • Success: LED flashes green ?.
   • Failure: LED remains solid red ?.

   Note: Latch bolt will only retract halfway during this process.

   [Image Description: Diagram showing the latch bolt retracting and extending, and the Status LED indicating success (green) or failure (red).]

4. D. Troubleshooting Door Handing

   If the latch bolt does not move on its own, or if the Status LED indicates a door handing failure, ensure the cables are connected correctly, the batteries are installed correctly, and attempt this procedure again.

   If the door handing process is still unsuccessful after a second attempt, perform the "Manual Door Handing" procedure on page 4.

6. Add the Lock to Your Smart Home System

1. A. Initiate Pairing

   Initiate the process to add the lock to your system at your smart home controller. Refer to your smart home system instructions for more information.

2. B. Add Lock to System

   When prompted by your smart home system to add the lock, press button "A" on the lock interior one time. The red LED will illuminate when the lock enters Add Mode.

   [Image Description: Diagram showing the location of button "A" on the interior lock assembly.]

   Please allow time for the controller to add the lock.

3. C. Rename Lock (Optional)

   If successful, re-name the lock in your system (if applicable).

4. D. Troubleshooting Pairing

   If unsuccessful, follow your system's instructions to remove the lock from the controller and any other network, then press button "A" on the lock interior one time. Perform steps 6A-6C again.

   If still unsuccessful, consult the Programming and Troubleshooting Guide on the SmartCode 888 page at kwikset.com.

7. Add User Codes (30 Max)

It is recommended that you add and delete all user codes through your smart home control system. If your system does not allow this, codes may be added directly to the lock as shown here.

Programming Timeout: During programming, if no button is pressed for five seconds, the system will time out (indicated by three beeps ??? and a red flashing lock button ?), and you will need to restart the procedure.

1. A. Start Programming

   Make sure the door is open. Press the Program button once.

2. B. Enter User Code

   Enter the desired user code. A total of 30 user codes may be programmed. Each user code must be a unique code between 4 and 8 digits, depending on your smart home system.

3. C. Confirm Code

   Press the Lock button once.

4. D. Check Lock Response

   Programming was successful: Lock button flashes green once with one beep ? 1x ?.

   Programming was unsuccessful: Lock button flashes three times with three beeps ? 3x ???.

   [Image Description: Visual indicators for successful (green flash, one beep) and unsuccessful (red flash, three beeps) programming.]

   Troubleshooting Unsuccessful Programming:

   • Make sure not to pause for more than 5 seconds during programming.
   • Ensure the user code is not a duplicate and is between 4 and 8 digits.
   • Verify the lock has room for an additional code. If all user code positions are filled, delete a code to make room.

Mastercode: For enhanced security, a mastercode may be used when adding and deleting user codes. For more information, download the Programming and Troubleshooting Guide on the SmartCode 888 page at kwikset.com.

8. Test the Lock and Re-key (if needed)

Confirm that the code(s) added in the previous step can unlock the door.
