To lock the deadbolt with the keypad on your Schlage lock, follow these steps:
1. Enter your user code: Start by entering your personal user code on the keypad. This is the code that you previously programmed into the lock. Make sure to enter the code accurately and in the correct order.
2. Press the Schlage button: After entering your user code, press the Schlage button on the keypad. The Schlage button is located in the center of the keypad and will illuminate when pressed.
3. Wait for the deadbolt to lock: Once you press the Schlage button, the deadbolt will automatically lock. You will hear a clicking sound indicating that the deadbolt has engaged and your door is securely locked.
4. Verify the lock status: To ensure that the deadbolt is properly locked, you can test the door by attempting to open it from the outside. If the deadbolt is engaged, the door should remain secure and not open.
It’s important to note that if the Schlage button turns red after entering your user code, it means that you have entered an incorrect code. In this case, double-check the code you entered and try again.
If the Schlage button does not light up at all, it may indicate that you have entered too many incorrect codes. In this situation, you will need to wait for 30 seconds before attempting to enter your code again. This delay is a security feature designed to prevent unauthorized access.
Remember to keep your user code confidential and avoid sharing it with others to maintain the security of your lock.
In summary, to lock the deadbolt with the keypad on your Schlage lock, enter your user code, press the Schlage button, and wait for the deadbolt to engage.
