Installation
To install your Halo or Aura lock, refer to the following instructions:
• Halo / Aura Interactive Guide
• Halo Touch Installation Guide PDF
• Halo Touchscreen Installation Guide PDF
• Halo Keypad Installation Guide PDF
• Aura Installation Guide PDF
Perform the following steps to correct the issue:
1. Check that the lock orientation is correct. Note: “UP” on latch should be
facing up (Fig. 1).
2. If incorrect, reinstall the lock to correct orientation. Installation Guide links
can be found in Question 2A.
During installation, ensure that turnpiece shaft is pointing up (Fig. 2). To
rotate turnpiece shaft, put the cover back on the interior and rotate the
turnpiece until it is pointing up. You may hear a click.
3. Perform Manual Door Handing steps.
4. If the above steps do not x the issue, call our support center at
1-800-327-5625 to order a new latch.
Handing, or latch calibration, is the way that the smart lock learns the
orientation of your door (left- or right-handed).
A1: The rst time the battery is inserted, the lock will perform automatic
calibration, or “handing.” You will know the handing is taking place
when the latch bolt retracts and extends on its own.
A2: The rst time that lock or unlock is performed using the Kwikset app
or access code, the lock will automatically perform latch calibration.
A3: Perform Manual Door Handing steps.
Perform Manual Door Handing steps.
A1: With the door open, press the lock button.
If you do not get a jam error with the door
open, the strike pocket on your door frame
may not be deep enough. Ensure that the
strike pocket is at least 1” (25mm) deep.
A2: Perform Manual Door Handing steps.

Batteries
Complete the following steps:
1. If the security screw is not
installed, slide the interior
cover window up.
If the security screw is
installed, remove the entire
interior cover.
2. Remove the battery pack. 3. Replace the batteries.
A1: For Aura and Halo Keypad, the keypad ashes red with fast beeping sound for three to four
seconds after a motorized operation, such as locking or unlocking with an access code.
For Halo Touchscreen, the checkmark and lock symbols ash simultaneously ve times with
ve beeps after a motorized operation, such as locking or unlocking with an access code.
For Halo Touch, the exterior LED ashes red and beeps after a motorized operation, such as locking
or unlocking with a ngerprint.
A2: A battery level indicator is also available in the Kwikset app, along with a
notication when the battery level is low. In addition, the interior status LED will
blink red.
A1: Check that the Kwikset app is updated to the latest version and that your lock’s
rmware does not need to be updated.
A2: Check that the door is properly aligned. For helpful tips on getting the door to
align, refer to the Warped Door Installation Guide. Resistance to both
locking and unlocking because of door misalignment will reduce both motor
and battery life.
A3: Check that the lock is properly installed, and the cable is routed and
stored correctly (Fig. 3).
A4: Perform Manual Door Handing to make sure that the lock knows the correct
direction for locking and unlocking.
A5: Make sure that the lock has a strong Wi-Fi connection with the router. For
better Wi-Fi coverage within the home, please investigate using a mesh
Wi-Fi network where several endpoints are deployed to provide the best
Wi-Fi coverage.
A6: Call our support center at 1-800-327-5625 for additional help and product
replacement if needed.
