What do you have to know before resetting the Schlage keypad lock without a programming code?
Most people want to know how to reset the Schlage keypad lock without a programming code. But before resetting a Schlage lock, you should know some essential things.
What is Schlage programming code?
Schlage programming code is a six-digit code you need to enter to program your Schlage lock. When you have lost or forgotten the Schlage programming code, you will be unable to access the lock and reset the keypad lock unless you know what this six-digit programming code is.
When installing your Schlage lock, you must change your default and set a programming code for yourself.
Please note that the six-digit programming code can not be used to unlock the lock.
What is the default programming code?
Each Schlage lock has its unique programming code, which can be found on a sticker attached to the inside of the battery compartment.
If you do not have this number available, contact Schlage customer support and offer your Schlage serial number for assistance.
The default programming code is a six-digit programming code that must be entered at least once during the initial installation process so that new users can begin using their Schlage locks without setting any other user codes.
Your default programming code may be found on the manual included with your lock, or it may be printed on a sticker somewhere near where you bought it.
If not, you’ll likely need a locksmith to help find this number if you’ve lost it.
What are default user codes?
The default user code for most Schlage locks is a four-digit user code. And the Schlage keypad lock comes preset with two unique default four-digit codes.
These are four-digit user codes by default assigned by the manufacturer when the Schlage lock is shipped from the factory or purchased at an electronics store.
These are temporary codes until users change the four-digit code later in using the device. You can find these four-digit user codes on the stickers, one on the back of the keypad assembly and one on the front of this User Guide.
If you do not have access to either of these sources (or would like faster service), contact the Schlage customer support team via email or the phone number listed below so they may assist you with retrieving them if necessary.
Please note that after you install the Schlage keypad locks for the first time and are successful, you will have to set a new four-digit code on your Schlage keypad locks.
Default User Code Locations
Luckily though, there are two default locations where these codes can be found:
- Back of the Keypad: You must open the exterior assembly and remove the keypad from the door to see this sticker.
- Front of this User Guide
