    Lock does not respond (door locked/inaccessible) Batteries may be discharged — use key to gain entry and replace batteries.
    Chime sounds but door won't open Check for another locking device, door gap obstructions, or a loose PC board cable.
    Won't automatically re-lock Check Auto Re-lock Mode is enabled; change batteries if low-battery indicator is lit.
    PIN codes won't register Codes must be 4-8 digits, unique per user, entered within 5 seconds; contact the Master user.
    Beeps + red/blue LED flash 7x, no unlock All Code Lockout Mode is enabled — only the Master can disable it.
    No sound on operation Enable Audio Mode.
    Intermittent RED flashes Low battery indicator — replace all 4 AA alkaline batteries.

    Hardware Troubleshooting

    • Door binding: Check door/frame alignment, free-swinging operation, and hinge wear.
    • Bolt will not deadlock: Check bolt clearance in the strike-side jamb and bolt/strike alignment.
    • Bolt doesn't extend/retract smoothly: Check alignment, backset, door prep hole sizing, wire harness routing under the bolt, and bolt orientation.
    • Keypad numerics scrolling: Remove the interior escutcheon and ensure the wire harness lies flat and is properly routed/tucked under the cable guide.

    Replacing the Cylinder

    1. Remove the outside escutcheon, rubber gasket, the two screws holding the plastic guide, and the plastic guide itself.
    2. Remove the screw with washer holding the cylinder, then pull the cylinder housing free by its tailpiece.
    3. Confirm the new cylinder's tailpiece length is correct before installing (1-3/8"–2" doors: L=3-1/2"/88.8mm; 2"–2-1/4" doors: L=3-3/4"/95.3mm; requires the Thin Door Kit for thinner doors).
    4. Reverse the steps to install the new cylinder.
