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. In order to enhance security and reduce risk, you should consult a qualified locksmith or other security professional.
CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry. Since anyone with access to the back panel can change the User Codes, you must restrict access to the back panel and routinely check the User Codes to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge. The use of a programming code can help protect your system's settings.
