How to Perform Auto-Handing
for Your Lock
Your new EMBASSY®
electronic door lock is
non-handed and will work
on left-handed or right-
handed doors. During
the initial installation and
after a factory reset, your
EMBASSY®door lock will
automatically detect (based
on where the bolt nds
room to move) whether
you have installed it on
a left- or a right-handed
door (see page 16).

Existing Code Rule
Codes Overview
1. Master Code (4-10 digits):
The factory default Master Code is
“1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8” — please modify
it after installation. If you forgot
your Master Code, you can reset
your EMBASSY®lock to factory
default settings as explained
in this guide (page 16).
2. User Codes (4-10 digits):
You may program up to 20 unique User
Codes for your EMBASSY®lock. Use
the Master Code to create or delete
User Codes at any time (page 23-24) .
3. Coding Rules:
Both the Master Code and the
unique User Codes are restricted by
a few rules to ensure better security
for your home. To prevent overly
simple codes, the following code
patterns cannot be programmed.
Existing Code Rule Explained: To help your User Codes remain unique,
a new User Code cannot contain a code sequence that an existing
User Code already contains. For example, if an existing User Code is
5683, you cannot create a new User Code as 568391 nor 915683.
