When we think of a home security system, the first thing that comes to mind is the door lock. It would be appropriate to state that a door lock has become synonymous with home security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes wonder about the sense of security the humans must have felt when the locks were first invented. Then after a series of innovations, we discovered smart locks that changed the home security game. Smart locks couple security with comfort and flexibility as they are bestowed with several features to make our lives easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to me, I am a great fan and advocate of smart locks. Though a few great locks are available in the market, I have always trusted and recommended Schlage. Schlage locks do an impressive job securing my home and keeping those anxiety pangs away, as I almost never have to bother about whether I left my home unlocked. The connectivity to home security systems and apps is the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, in my article about the Schlage lock blinking red<\/a>, one of my readers inquired about how to reset the Schlage lock. The reader needed to do so as they were moving out of the home, but there can be several reasons why one might need to reset your Schlage lock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reset the Schlage smart lock, the first thing to check is whether the model of your Schlage lock is Encode or Sense, as the method to reset both the locks is slightly different. To reset the Schlage Encode lock, remove the batteries, press and hold the Schlage button and reinsert the batteries while holding the button. To reset the Schlage Sense lock, disconnect the lock batteries, press the Schlage button, and reinsert the batteries. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I will help you understand the procedure of Schlage locks in detail. We will also learn how to reprogram the Schlage lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Might You Need To Reset Your Schlage Lock? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different reasons why you may be looking for how to factory reset the Schlage lock. <\/strong>In this section of the article, we will highlight some of these reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Why<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Your Schlage Lock Keypad Is Not Working<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are a Schlage lock<\/a> user and are facing an issue of the Schlage lock keypad not working<\/a>, then I assure you are not the only one. Rather, the issue is commonly faced by many users. Usually, the issue of the keypad not working arises due to the low batteries, which may be fixed upon replacing the batteries on your Schlage lock<\/a>. Sometimes, when the issue is unexplained or cannot be self-diagnosed, resetting the lock is a troubleshoot worth trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Turn Lock Feature On Your Schlage Lock Is Not Working<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The turn lock or thumb turn feature allows you to lock your door from outside by rotating the thumb turn and pressing the Schlage button. The turn lock feature saves significant time for users as with the feature turned on, the user does not have to enter the code to lock the door each time they leave home. If the Schlage turn lock feature of your lock is causing trouble, try updating the lock application. In case there’s no success, simply reset your Schlage lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Your Schlage Sense Lock Deadbolt Is Not Working<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Schlage Sense smart locks have a deadbolt instead of a thumb turn. The lock uses Bluetooth to pair the lock with the smartphone. In case the Bluetooth connection between your lock and the device is improper, you may face issues with the auto lock feature of your Schlage Sense lock. Resetting your lock and reprogramming it will enable you to make a fresh Bluetooth connection and solve any related issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You Can’t Remember Your Schlage Lock Programming Code<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common reasons you might need to reset your Schlage lock is that you cannot remember the Schlage lock programming code. The programming code of a Schlage lock is used to put the smart lock into programming mode. The code does not unlock the smart lock but enables you to perform functions like changing or deleting the user code<\/a>, activating or deactivating the vacation mode, etc. If the programming code of your Schlage lock is not working or you cannot remember the code, you will not be able to program your lock and will have to reset it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resetting A Schlage Lock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Resetting<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not that I am a fan of resetting the devices because of the hassle of reinstallation and reprogramming that comes with it, but I cannot deny the fact that resetting your devices can solve most issues that other fixes don’t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you are facing an issue like the Schlage lock not working<\/a> or not accepting codes and you are unable to troubleshoot the issue, I advise resetting your Schlage lock before seeking any professional help. Resetting your door lock will set the programming code of your door lock to default and helps you in case you have forgotten your programming code. It also troubleshoots some other issues related to your lock, as mentioned in the above section. It is noteworthy that the resetting process of the Schlage locks will reset all the settings, including the programming code and user code, to default settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
