Changing the Code/Combination
The door must be open.
The combination for the outside and inside locks must be changed indepen-
dently. Follow the same procedure for the outside and inside.
1. Use the torx anti-tamper tool bit provided to remove the tamper proof
screw from the top of the pushbutton housing (see gure 1).
2. Turn the knob clockwise to the stop position, then release.
3. Enter the existing combination. On new installations, enter the
factory-set combination: depress buttons 2 and 4 simultaneously
(release) , then depress button 3 (release). You should feel a click as each
button is depressed.
4. Insert the pick provided through the screw hole and depress the slide
inside—you will feel a slight click. Remove the pick (see gure 2).
5. Turn the knob clockwise all the way until it stops, then release.
6. Select a new combination, write it down, then enter the new
combination—press buttons carefully (a slight click should be felt as
each button is depressed) (see gure 3).
Note: You can use one button or all ve for a combination, but each button can
only be used once. You can press two or more buttons simultaneously as a step
in the combination.
7. Turn the knob clockwise once, all the way, until it stops, hold in position
and make sure the latch is retracted. Release the knob. Turn the knob
clockwise again to the stop position. At this point, the latch should not
retract unless you enter the new combination (see gure 4).
8. Replace the tamper proof screw in the top of the lock unit.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for other side of door.
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.

Troubleshooting
Symptom/problem: Turning outside or inside knob always retracts latch without depressing any
buttons.

except omit step 3 (do not enter the existing combination).
