Introduction

Kwikset SmartCode 913 is one of the market’s most advanced keyless door locks. It features an electronic deadbolt and can be used with a keypad or keyed directly into the lock.

The lock comes pre-programmed with two codes: a user code (for when you have guests) and a master code (for when you need to change your user code). If you’re having trouble with your Kwikset SmartCode 913, here’s how to change that code!

When do you need to change the code on Kwikset SmartCode 913?

There are several reasons you may need to change your Kwikset lock code. One reason is losing the code or not knowing what it is. Other reasons include adding more users, changing the user code, and even changing the master code (which controls access for all users).

When do you need to change code on Kwikset SmartCode 913

If you have any of these problems, follow this guide to learn how to change your Kwikset SmartCode 913 lock’s passcode:

  • When you lose your code, if you lose your user or master code, it is best to change it immediately. This will prevent unauthorized users from entering your home and potentially stealing items of value.
  • For added security. If additional locks were installed after Kwikset SmartCode 913, they might not be programmed with the current user or master codes in place on that lock. An authorized technician can program a new code to ensure that anyone who gains access to these additional locks has no way of accessing your home without permission.
  • When moving into a new house, all existing door hardware should be replaced with new hardware so that each lock operates independently (and therefore cannot be accessed using any old keys). It’s also important to replace all old codes with new ones for added protection against unauthorized individuals who may have had access to them in previous homes.
  • When current passcodes aren’t safe anymore, if you need a completely different set of passcodes because yours aren’t safe anymore (or maybe there was never any safety involved), then we recommend changing them ASAP so no one else can get inside!

What code can you change on Kwikset SmartCode 913?

The 913 is the standard Kwikset SmartCode model. This means that you can change your master code and user code on this lock, allowing you to have multiple codes (such as a guest code) on one device.

  • Master code: This is a universal access code that can be used to enter the programming mode on the lock. It will not change the functionality of your lock, but it will allow you to reprogram all other codes and settings.
  • User code: This function code will override existing user codes when used with an access card or key fob. You can program up to four user codes using this method, even if one does not have a master code (see above).
