Changing the Code / Combination
The door must be open.
1. Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (counterclockwise) to the stop position; then release. This will clear
any random entries from the mechanism.
Note: When the thumbturn is turned to the left on a deadbolt model, the bolt is automatically thrown into the
locked position; therefore, it is important to keep the door open while changing the combination.
2. Enter the existing combination. On new installations, use the factory-set combination: depress 2 and 4
simultaneously, (release), then 3 (release). You should feel a slight click as each button is depressed.
3. Use the Allen wrench to remove the screw from the top of the lock housing.
4. After removing the screw. Insert the Allen wrench into the hole and depress the internal lockout slide; you
should feel a slight click. Do not force.
5. Remove the wrench.
6. Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (counterclockwise) to the stop position, then release.
7. Choose your new combination, write it down, then enter the new combination —depress buttons carefully
(a slight click should be felt as each button is depressed).
[Note: You can use one button or all five for a combination, but each button can only be used once. You can
depress two or more buttons simultaneously as a step in the combination.]
8. Turn the outside thumbturn to the right (clockwise) to the stop position; then release. The new combination
is now active.
9. Test your new combination a few times before you shut the door.
Lock and unlock the door following the instructions in section 6.
If the outside thumbturn retracts the latch or bolt and you have not entered your combination, steps were done
out of order and the lock is in zero code.
10. Repeat steps 4 to 8 until the latch or bolt retracts only after you enter your new combination.

11. Replace the screw on the top of the lock housing.
[Note: The outside thumbturn cannot be forced to retract the latch / bolt because it is connected to the lock
housing by a friction clutch. If the thumbturn has been forced, it can be turned back to the vertical position by
hand without damaging the lock.]
Troubleshooting
Symptom/problem: Turning outside thumbturn always retracts latch/bolt without depressing without any
buttons.
Cause: Lock is in zero combination.
Solution: Follow the procedure for changing a combination, but omit step 2.

[Note: If your lock is opening on every turn of the knob or lever, except upon entering a code, this may be a
ZERO CODE. Before attempting to remove the lock from the door, refer to the troubleshooting procedures
outlined at bottom of this document for a zero code symptom/solution.]

On models with the passage feature, make sure the passage feature is disengaged:
turn knob or key should be in vertical position (A) (see figure 1).

and unscrew the cylinder by turning the key counterclockwise. Remove the
combination change plug to gain access to the combination change sleeve (D) (see
figure 1).
2. Turn the outside knob once clockwise (all the way, until it stops) then release.
The latch should not retract (see figure 4).
3. Enter the existing combination. On new installations, use the factory-set
combination: depress 2 and 4 simultaneously, (release), then 3 (release). You
should feel a slight click as each button is depressed.
4. Insert the spanner wrench as shown in figure 2 to engage the combination change
sleeve (A). Gently turn the spanner wrench clockwise to the stop position (a slight
click should be felt), then turn the spanner wrench counterclockwise to the stop
position (A) (see figure 3). Remove the spanner wrench.
5. Turn the outside knob once clockwise all the way until it stops, then release. The
latch should not retract (see figure 4).
6. Choose your new combination, write it down, then enter the new combination —
depress buttons carefully (a slight click should be felt as each button is depressed).
Note: You can use one button or all five for a combination, but each button can
only be used once. You can depress two or more buttons simultaneously as a step in
the combination.
7. Turn the outside knob clockwise once, all the way, until it stops, hold in position
and make sure the latch is retracted (see figure 5). Release the knob.
8. Turn the knob clockwise again to the stop position. At this point, the latch (A) should not retract unless you
enter the new combination (see figure 4).

9. Resecure the combination change plug assembly by screwing it in clockwise with the DF-59 key —do not
overtighten (see figure 6). Remove the key and store it in a secure area with these instructions and the spanner
wrench.
Troubleshooting
Symptom/problem: Outside knob when turned always retracts latch without depressing any buttons.
Cause: Lock is in zero combination.
Solution: Follow the procedure for changing a combination except omit step 3 (do not enter the existing
