To delete all Schlage door lock codes without a programming code, you can follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the battery: Locate the battery compartment on the back of the keypad and remove the batteries. This will power off the lock and allow you to reset it.
2. Press the Schlage button: While the batteries are still out, press and hold the Schlage button on the keypad for about 5 seconds. This button is usually located above the numbers on the keypad and has the Schlage logo on it.
3. Reconnect the battery: With the Schlage button still pressed, reconnect the battery by inserting the batteries back into the compartment. Make sure they are properly inserted and the battery cover is securely closed.
4. Observe the indicator light: After reconnecting the battery, the Schlage button or indicator light on the keypad will light up green for about one second. This indicates that the reset process has been initiated.
5. Enter default User Codes: Within 10 seconds of the indicator light turning green, you need to quickly enter one of the default User Codes. The default User Codes for Schlage keypad locks are often 123456 or 0000. Try entering one of these codes using the keypad.
6. Test the reset: Once you have entered the default User Code, check if the lock has been successfully reset by trying to operate it with the new code. If the lock opens or functions as expected, it means the reset was successful.
It’s important to note that this method will delete all existing codes and reset the lock to its factory default settings. This means you will need to reprogram any desired User Codes and settings after the reset.
Additionally, the specific steps and default codes may vary depending on the model of your Schlage keypad lock. It’s always recommended to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or contact Schlage customer support for detailed guidance specific to your lock model.
