Changing the Code/Combination
Read the instructions through once before attempting to change
the combination.
The factory pre-set combination is 2 and 4 pressed simultaneously (and
released), then press 3 (and release).
The door must be open.
1. Turn the control knob to the left (counterclockwise) to the stop
position and release (see gure 1). This clears the lock of previously
used buttons.
2. Enter the existing combination. Make sure you depress each button
fully and release.
3. Push down the combination change slide on the back side of the
lock. Located at the end opposite control knob (see gure 2).
4. Turn the control knob to the left (counterclockwise) to the stop
position and release (see gure 1). This clears the old combination.
5. Select a new combination, write it down. Some or all of the buttons
may be used for your new combination—pressed individually or
simultaneously.
Each button may be used only once. We do not recommend the use of a one-
button combination.
6. Enter your new combination. Depress each button fully and release
it. You must feel a click each time you press a button to know that
the button was fully depressed (see gure 3).
7. Turn the control knob to the right (clockwise) to the stop position
and release to activate the new combination (see gure 4).
8. Enter new combination and test operation.
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.

left (counterclockwise) to the stop position and release. This will clear any previously depressed
buttons. Enter in the correct combination.
Troubleshooting
Symptom/problem: Turning outside thumbturn clockwise always retracts latch without depressing
any buttons.
Cause: Lock is in zero combination.
Solution: Follow the procedure for setting a new combination except omit step 2.
