Mastercode
Programming timeout: If no button is pressed for ve seconds, the system will time out
(indicated by three beeps and a red ashing keypad), and you will need to restart the procedure.
1. Keep door open. Press and HOLD the Program button until the keypad
ashes green (about 5 seconds).
2. Enter new Mastercode.
3. Press Lock button once.
4. Re-enter Mastercode.
5. Press Lock button once.
If programming is successful, the keypad will flash green once with
one beep.
If programming is unsuccessful, the keypad will ash red three times
with three beeps. Make sure the Mastercode has not already been
programmed. Attempt the procedure again, making sure to enter the
same new Mastercode in step 2 and 4.
6. Make sure switch #3 is on, and press the Program button once. If you
hear three beeps and see the keypad ash green, the Mastercode is
enabled.
Note: The lock will time out after ve seconds.
Using a Mastercode is an optional, added-security measure. It is not enabled by default. A Mastercode is
used to add and delete user codes, but it cannot unlock the door (unless the same code is programmed
as a user code, though this is not recommended). The Mastercode must be 4-8 digits.

Troubleshooting: Installation
If you encounter any of the problems above, the deadbolt latch may be
installed upside down. Remove the interior assembly, mounting plate,
and exterior assembly from the door, and look at the latch inside the
door hole.
If the word “UP” is upside down and at the bottom of the latch, the latch
is installed incorrectly.
Reinstall the latch, making sure the word “UP” faces upward.

Troubleshooting: Door Jamming and Door Handing
The door handing process was not executed
during installation.
Perform the door handing process in the Installation Guide.
The hole in the door is misaligned.
Disassemble the lock, and reinstall it without the adapter ring on the
exterior side of the door.
The wrong deadbolt latch is installed.
SmartCode deadbolts require a tapered latch bolt for ease of operation.
If the latch being used is from an older lock, it will likely not have a
tapered latch bolt. Remove the lock from the door, including the old
latch. Replace with the new tapered latch that came with the lock and
reinstall the lock.
The deadbolt latch and strike are misaligned,
causing the latch to bind.
Adjust the tab of the lower strike (for your knob or lever) to help align the
upper latch and strike so that the latch bolt enters the strike when the
door is locked.
The lower latch and lower strike (for your knob
or lever) are misaligned, putting too much
load on the deadbolt latch.
As a test, rotate the turnpiece on the deadbolt so the latch is retracted
(unlocked), and close the door. If you have to push, pull or lift the door to
get it to close, adjust the position of the lower strike.

The lock jams and the turnpiece does not rotate smoothly.
The lock beeps, the keypad flashes red, and the door cannot lock.

The hole in the door frame for the latch bolt is
not drilled deep enough.
Make sure the hole in the door frame is drilled at least 1” (25 mm) deep.
The mounting plate is placing tension on the
torque blade.
Attempt to lock and unlock the door with the key. If it is unable to rotate,
remove the interior assembly from the mounting plate. Test the key
again. If it is still unable to rotate, loosen the screws on the mounting
plate and reposition the plate so there is no tension on the cylinder
torque blade. Make sure the latch bolt can operate smoothly with the key
and reinstall the interior assembly.
The clutch is disengaged.
Remove the battery pack. Remove the interior assembly from the
door. Verify that the lock can be operated smoothly with the key while
the interior is removed. Attempt to rotate the turnpiece on the interior
assembly to the vertical position. If it cannot rotate to the vertical position,
the clutch has become disengaged.
Place the battery cover onto the interior assembly, making sure to align
the turnpiece with the shaft. Rotate the turnpiece 180° clockwise (you
will need to use force when rotating the turnpiece, and you will hear it
click). This will re-engage the clutch.
180°
Align the turnpiece with the torque blade and reinstall the interior
assembly on the door.
