The Schlage Connect® Smart Deadbolt and Keypad Deadbolt do have a vacation mode feature. This feature allows you to temporarily deactivate all access codes while you are away on vacation or when you don’t want anyone to have access to your home.
Enabling vacation mode is simple and can be done directly on the lock itself. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Locate the programming button on your Schlage Connect® Smart Deadbolt or Keypad Deadbolt. It is usually located on the interior side of the lock, near the top or bottom.
2. Press and hold the programming button for about 5 seconds until the status light on the lock starts flashing.
3. Enter your six-digit programming code on the keypad. If you haven’t set a programming code yet, you can use the default code provided in the user manual.
4. Once you’ve entered the programming code, press the number “7” on the keypad to enter vacation mode.
5. The status light on the lock will flash three times to indicate that vacation mode has been enabled.
While in vacation mode, all access codes programmed into the lock will be temporarily deactivated. This means that no one, including yourself, will be able to unlock the door using a code until vacation mode is disabled.
To disable vacation mode and reactivate the access codes, simply follow the same steps mentioned above and press the number “7” on the keypad again. The status light will flash three times to indicate that vacation mode has been disabled.
Vacation mode is a great feature to have when you’re away from home for an extended period of time. It provides an extra layer of security by preventing anyone from using access codes to enter your home while you’re away. Whether you’re going on a vacation or simply want to ensure that nobody has access to your home for a certain period of time, vacation mode gives you peace of mind.
In my personal experience, I have found vacation mode to be extremely useful. I travel frequently for work, and knowing that my home is secure while I’m away is important to me. Being able to easily activate and deactivate vacation mode with the push of a few buttons gives me reassurance that only authorized individuals will be able to enter my home.
The vacation mode feature offered by Schlage Connect® Smart Deadbolt and Keypad Deadbolt is a convenient and effective way to enhance the security of your home when you’re away.
