Schlage keypad locks are a convenient and secure way to protect your home or business. But what happens when you need to change the access code? Here’s a breakdown of how to reprogram a Schlage keypad lock.
First, you’ll need to locate the programming code that came with your lock. This code is a unique combination of numbers that allows you to access the programming mode of the lock.
Next, enter the programming code followed by the “Schlage” button on the keypad. The lock will emit a beep to confirm that it’s entered programming mode.
From there, you can enter a new access code of your choice. Simply enter the programming code again, followed by the numbers you want to use as your new access code. Be sure to confirm the new code by re-entering it a second time.
If you want to delete a code entirely, enter the programming code followed by the “Schlage” button and then the code you want to delete. The lock will beep to confirm that the code has been deleted.
Finally, exit programming mode by pressing the “Schlage” button once more. The lock will emit a long beep to confirm that it’s exited programming mode and is now ready for use with the new access code.
Reprogramming your Schlage keypad lock is a straightforward process that can be done quickly and easily with the programming code and some simple instructions. By changing your access code regularly, you can ensure that your home or business is as secure as possible.
