Resetting your Schlage Keypad Lock BE365 typically involves a factory reset to clear all user codes and return settings to their default. Beyond a full reset, you can also manage individual user codes or adjust specific lock settings like the beeper.
How to Reset Your Schlage Keypad Lock BE365: A Complete Guide
The most comprehensive way to reset your Schlage BE365 keypad lock is by performing a factory reset. This action clears all previously programmed user codes and restores the lock to its original factory settings, making it ready for fresh programming.
Performing a Factory Reset (Clear All User Codes)
A factory reset is ideal if you've forgotten your programming code, wish to delete all user access, or are moving the lock to a new location.
Steps for Factory Reset:
- Remove the Battery Cover: Locate the battery cover on the interior side of your lock and remove it.
- Disconnect the Battery Pack: Carefully disconnect the wire connecting the battery pack to the lock assembly.
- Press and Hold the Schlage Button: On the exterior keypad, press and hold the "Schlage" button (the button with the Schlage logo).
- Reconnect the Battery Pack: While still holding down the Schlage button, reconnect the battery pack wire.
- Listen for Beeps and Release: Continue to hold the Schlage button until you hear two beeps and the keypad flashes green. This usually takes about 5-10 seconds.
- Release the Schlage Button: Once you hear the beeps and see the light, release the Schlage button.
What happens after a factory reset?
- All previously programmed user codes are deleted.
- The programming code typically reverts to a default code (often printed on a sticker on the interior assembly) or will require you to set a new one immediately.
- All custom settings, like the auto-lock delay or beeper status, return to their default.
Managing User Codes and Programming
After a factory reset, or if you simply wish to manage existing codes without a full reset, you'll use your 6-digit programming code.
1. Setting a New Programming Code
If your programming code reverted to a default or you need to establish a new one after a factory reset:
- Enter the existing or default 6-digit Programming Code.
- Press the Schlage button.
- Press 3.
- Press the Schlage button.
- Enter your new desired 6-digit Programming Code.
- Press the Schlage button.
2. Adding a New User Code
To grant access to someone, you'll add a user code:
- Enter your 6-digit Programming Code.
- Press the Schlage button.
- Press 1.
- Press the Schlage button.
- Enter a new 4-digit User Code.
- Press the Schlage button.
3. Deleting an Existing User Code
To remove a specific user's access:
- Enter your 6-digit Programming Code.
- Press the Schlage button.
- Press 2.
- Press the Schlage button.
- Enter the 4-digit User Code you wish to delete.
- Press the Schlage button.
Adjusting Lock Settings (e.g., Beeper On/Off)
Your Schlage BE365 lock offers additional programming options to customize its operation. Among these, you have the option to turn the beeper on or off. The default setting for the beeper is on, meaning the lock will beep with each button press and during locking/unlocking operations.
To change the beeper setting:
You will need to enter your six-digit programming code, followed by a specific sequence of buttons to toggle the beeper function. The exact sequence for enabling or disabling the beeper after entering the programming code can typically be found in your lock's user manual. This programming option allows you to silence the keypress feedback for a more discreet operation if desired.
