Yesterday, past midnight, I received a call from my sister that she had locked herself out<\/a> of her home. Half asleep and annoyed, I told her to simply unlock the home by entering the code on the home door lock. On this, she told me that she had forgotten the code of the Schlage door lock. At once, I assumed that she was either drunk or joking, but I soon realized that she was serious. I understand that the mere thought that you forgot your door lock code when you didn’t have the key can be very stressful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to securing our homes, various systems like hidden cameras, wireless alarms, window locks, etc., can keep you and your belongings safe but the simplest option is the most important one, i.e., your door locks. The secured door lock ensures that your home is easily not accessible to intruders. With modern electronic locks taking place in our lives, our homes are now more secure than ever as these locks are quite difficult to break in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about front door smart locks, we can’t do without talking about the Schlage smart locks. Schlage<\/a> is a trusted home security name and one of the best apartment locks<\/a> in the US. Smart locks are designed to suit any lifestyle. There can be several occasions where you may need to change or reset the code of your lock, and Schlage allows you to do that with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of codes associated with a Schlage smart lock- the programming code and the user code. The code that unlocks your lock is the user code which can only be changed if you know the programming code of the lock. In case the programming code is not known, you will have to reset and reprogram your Schlage lock.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will talk about how to change the Schlage keypad code <\/strong>in detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding The Codes on A Schlage Lock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Understanding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The front door locks of our homes and offices are unsung heroes that guard our spaces 24X7 and keep the thieves and rogues away. In my opinion, Schlage smart locks are the superheroes of the species which have the special power of making our lives convenient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of lock codes that support the security system of Schlage door locks. The codes can be found in the user manual and on a label at the back of the smart lock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we proceed to learn how to change the Schlage code, it is important to understand the types of codes associated with the lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programming Code<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The programming code is a default six-digit code that can be found in the user manual. The programming code of the Schlage lock is used to put the Schlage smart lock into programming mode and does not unlock the smart lock. Hence, in order to program your Schlage smart lock, you must know the 6-digit programming code. In case you do not have access to the user manual, you may locate the same on a label at the back of the lock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you know the programming code of your Schlage smart lock, you may add up to 19 users and can uninstall any user at any time. You also need the programming code to activate or deactivate the vacation mode, turn the lock’s beeper on or off, activate the switch lock, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Code <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The user code is a 4-digit, routine code that works as the key to your home or office. The default user code can be found in the user manual or on the label at the back of your Schlage smart lock. You can change this code to a code of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may set up to 19 user codes on your Schlage lock, from which one is the primary user code, and the rest are the guest codes. The user code of your Schlage smart lock must be different from the first four digits of the programming code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Change The 4-Digit User Code On A Schlage Lock?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To change the user code on your Schlage lock (whether you have Encode or Connect), it is important that you know the programming code of the lock. Locate the programming code of your Schale smart lock. If you haven’t changed the default programming code, you may find it in the user manual or at the back of your smart lock. In case you changed the programming code of your Schlage lock and can’t remember it, you will have to reset the keypad to its default setting, which I will discuss in the later section of the article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have access to the programming code, follow the given steps to change the code on your Schlage lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
