Two Types of Buttons

There are 10-digit buttons on the outer face of the keyboard, plus a “Schlage” button located at the top of the keyboard. Both the six-digit programming code and the four-digit user codes can be entered using the number keys.

Two Types of Codes

To program your Schlage keypad, you must first understand the two types of codes: the six-digit programming code and the four-digit user code.

Programming Code: 6-Digits

First, there is a programming code of six digits that is used to enable the lock-programming set’s features. The first step in programming individual four-digit user codes would be to enter this code. This security preset comes with your lock, but you can change it to a code of your choice as well. You must know this code to program the lock.

User Codes: 4-Digits

Second, Four-digit user codes still exist. They are the routine codes that in regular service would act as the “keys” to unlock your door.

The default user codes can also be found on the back of the keypad or in the User Manual.

Up to 19 4-digit user codes, including a primary entrance code and visitor codes, can be stored! This code must differ from the first four digits of the given programming code.
