1. Prepare the Door and Check Dimensions
If drilling a new door, use the supplied template and complete door drilling instructions available at www.kwikset.com/doorprep.
A. Door Hole Diameter: Measure to confirm the hole in the door is either 2-1/8" (54 mm) or 1-1/2" (38 mm).
B. Backset Measurement: Measure to confirm the backset is either 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" (60 or 70 mm).
C. Door Edge Hole Diameter: Measure to confirm the hole in the door edge is 1" (25 mm).
D. Door Thickness: Measure to confirm the door is between 1-3/8" and 2" (35 mm and 51 mm) thick.
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. Install the Latch and Strike
A. Chiseled Door Edge: Check if the door edge is chiseled.
- If YES (chiseled): Use latch "A". If the latch bolt is not extended, extend it as shown.
- If NO (not chiseled): Use latch "B" (not included). If the latch bolt is not extended, extend it as shown.
B. Latch Placement: Hold the latch in front of the door hole, with the latch face flush against the door edge.
C. Centered Latch Holes: Check if the latch holes are centered in the door hole.
- If YES: No adjustment is required. Proceed to the next step.
- If NO: Rotate the latch face as shown to extend the latch.
D. Latch Selection Confirmation: Confirm which latch (A or B) you are installing.
E. Install Strike: Install the strike on the door frame. Ensure the hole in the door frame is drilled a minimum of 1" (25 mm) deep. Use the longer screws (U) closest to the door jamb.
3. Install the Exterior Keypad
A. Door Hole Diameter Check: Confirm the diameter of the hole in the door.
- If the diameter is 2-1/8" (54 mm): Adapter ring "C" is required. Install "C" on "E".
- If the diameter is 1-1/2" (38 mm): Adapter ring "C" is not needed. Discard "C".
B. Screws: Locate screws (Q) for step 3C and keep them within reach.
C. Installation: Install the exterior keypad and mounting plate.
- Ensure the cable goes underneath the latch.
- Keep the assembly parallel to the edge of the door.
- Support the exterior assembly during mounting plate installation.
- Tighten screws (Q) evenly (2x).
- Route the cable through the center hole, then push the cable into the bottom hole.
- Insert the key and test the latch. If the latch does not extend or retract smoothly, adjust screws (Q). Remove the key when finished and ensure the latch bolt is fully extended.
4. Install the Interior Assembly
A. Battery Pack Removal: Remove the battery cover and battery pack from the interior assembly.
B. Mounting: Install the interior assembly onto the mounting plate.
- Ensure the turnpiece is in the vertical position.
- Ensure the turnpiece shaft is rotated as shown.
- Ensure a tight cable connection.
- Lay excess cable flat inside the bottom of the interior housing.
Do not install batteries until step 5.
5. Install the Batteries and Perform the Door Handing Process
This step teaches the lock the orientation of your door and is crucial for lock operation.
A. Battery Installation: Install 4 AA batteries into the battery pack. Ensure correct polarity. For best results, use new, non-rechargeable alkaline batteries only.
B. Lock Button Press: Press and HOLD the Lock button while installing the battery pack. Hold the button until the latch bolt starts moving on its own.
C. Handing Process Check: Did the latch bolt retract and extend on its own when the battery pack was installed?
- YES: Door handing process was successful! Proceed to the next step after the latch bolt stops moving.
- NO: Remove the battery pack, wait 15 seconds, then attempt the process again.
Note: The latch bolt will only retract halfway during this process.
6. Add User Codes
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 keypad ?), and you will need to restart the procedure.
A. Start Programming: Make sure the door is open. Press the Program button once.
B. Enter User Code: Enter a user code. A total of 16 user codes may be programmed. Each user code must be a unique code between 4 and 8 digits.
C. Confirm Code: Press the Lock button once.
D. Check Result: Did the keypad flash green once with one beep ?? or flash red three times with three beeps ??*?
- One green flash with one beep: Programming was successful.
- Three red flashes with three beeps: Programming was unsuccessful.
If programming was unsuccessful: Make sure the user code is not a duplicate and is between 4 and 8 digits. Ensure the lock has room for an additional code; delete a code if all positions are filled.
*Beeping sound will only be heard if switch #3 (on the lock interior) is in the ON position. See "Switches and Status LED Colors" on page 4.
Mastercode
For enhanced security, a mastercode can be used when adding and deleting user codes. For more information, download the Programming and Troubleshooting Guide on the SmartCode 913 page at www.kwikset.com.

- Dispose of used batteries according to local laws and regulations.
CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry.

The use of a mastercode can help protect your system's settings.
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.
