The Schlage keypad lock is not working.

If the Schlage keypad lock is not working, there are a few easy fixes you can try.

• First, make sure that your battery is fully charged and that it’s installed correctly. If they aren’t, remove them and reinstall them with fresh alkaline batteries (not rechargeable).
• If this doesn’t solve your problem, replace all four AA batteries with new ones (not rechargeables).
• Try removing and reinstalling the battery if it’s not working after this first step.
• You can also check to see if any of the buttons on the keypad are jammed or broken inside.
• If none of these methods fix your Schlage auto-lock, you must take it apart and replace some internal parts yourself! Or contact Customer Service for further assistance at no charge within one year from the product’s purchase date.

The Schlage keypad lock is not working when cold.

• The keypad doesn’t work: First, try pressing the physical buttons on your deadbolt lock one by one at a time. If you find one that works, but others don’t, you may have found your problem (for example, maybe it’s just stuck). If all buttons still don’t work after trying this approach, then it’s possible that the circuit board inside has been damaged and needs replacement.
• It doesn’t work when cold: This issue happens because cold weather makes metal expand and contract more quickly than other materials (such as plastic), making it easier for remote connections between parts within your Schlage keypad lock system to break down.

Schlage locks the wrong code too many times.

• If you have tried entering multiple codes in a row without success, check that all batteries are installed correctly (they should be facing up).
• Also, ensure the battery contacts are clean and free from debris that could prevent them from contacting each other.
• If you’ve been entering the wrong code repeatedly without getting anywhere, someone has probably tried to gain access through another electronic device like an iPad or iPhone. If so, all you need to do is change the code on the Schlage lock! It will keep intruders from hacking into your system without having any negative repercussions!

The Schlage keypad lock keeps spinning. This can happen when you try to enter your code on a new Schlage deadbolt, or it’s not programmed correctly. If you’re having this issue, follow these steps:

• If your Schlage wireless deadbolt doesn’t open or close even though any code or fob did not activate it, there could be an issue with the motor inside.

Schlage locks light blinks/beeps mean and solution.

Schlage locks have many beeps and light combinations representing different problems and solutions. Let’s list these combinations of beeps and lights in different situations to illustrate the problems and solutions they represent.

Schlage keypad lock flashing green

Schlage keypad lock flashing green generally represents a valid user code entered or the Schlage lock programming process is complete. For example, when you succeed in adding a user code to your Schlage lock, the Schlage lock will flash 1 Green Light + 1 Long Beep.

But when your Schlage deadbolt can be unlocked by pushing the Schlage button without a code, your Schlage lock has 1 Green Blinking + 1 high beeping. It means your lock has been installed incorrectly and is not secure. Repeat the Schlage lock installation process. Ensure the cam and bolt positions are correct, as referenced in the installation instructions. Browse answers.schlage.com and search “Installing BE365” for a video.

• Cannot change Programming Code: The second Programming Code entered did not match the first. Or The first four digits of the new Programming Code match an existing User Code.
