Hey there! As a supplier of the Deadbolt Smart Lock, I get a lot of questions about how to change the access codes on these nifty devices. So, I thought I'd put together this blog post to walk you through the process step by step.
First off, let me give you a bit of background on the Deadbolt Smart Lock. It's an amazing piece of technology that offers you a high - level of security and convenience. You can lock and unlock your door with just a few taps on your phone or by entering a code on the keypad. But sometimes, you might need to change those access codes. Maybe you've had a tenant move out, or you just want to add an extra layer of security. Whatever the reason, it's a pretty straightforward process.
Prerequisites
Before you start changing the access codes, there are a few things you'll need to have on hand. First, make sure your Deadbolt Smart Lock is properly installed and connected to your home Wi - Fi network. You'll also need to have the corresponding mobile app installed on your smartphone. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices, and it's the key to managing your lock's settings.
Step 1: Open the Mobile App
Once you've got everything set up, open the mobile app on your phone. You'll be prompted to log in with your account credentials. If you haven't created an account yet, it's super easy. Just follow the on - screen instructions to sign up. After logging in, you'll see a list of all the smart locks connected to your account. Tap on the Deadbolt Smart Lock that you want to change the access code for.
Step 2: Navigate to the Access Code Section
Inside the lock's settings page, look for the "Access Codes" or "Codes" option. This is where you'll manage all the different access codes for your lock. When you tap on this option, you'll see a list of all the existing codes, along with their names and expiration dates (if you've set any).
Step 3: Delete an Existing Code (Optional)
If you want to remove an old access code, simply tap on the code you want to delete. You'll usually see a "Delete" or "Remove" button next to the code. Confirm the deletion when prompted. This is useful if you no longer want someone to have access to your home.
Step 4: Add a New Access Code
To add a new access code, look for the "Add Code" or "New Code" button. Tap on it, and you'll be asked to enter a new code. The code can usually be a 4 - 8 digit number. Make sure it's something easy for you or the person you're giving access to remember, but also secure enough to prevent unauthorized entry.
After entering the code, you can give it a name. This is helpful for keeping track of who has which code. For example, you could name a code "Cleaner" if it's for your cleaning service. You can also set an expiration date for the code if you only want the person to have access for a certain period of time.
Step 5: Save the Changes
Once you've entered the new code and set all the necessary details, tap the "Save" or "Done" button. The app will then send the new code to the Deadbolt Smart Lock. In a few seconds, the lock will update with the new access code, and you're all set!
Troubleshooting
Sometimes, things don't go as smoothly as we'd like. If you're having trouble changing the access code, here are a few things you can try.
- Check the Wi - Fi Connection: Make sure your lock and your phone are both connected to the same Wi - Fi network. A weak or unstable connection can cause issues when sending the new code to the lock.
- Update the App: Check if there are any updates available for the mobile app. Sometimes, app updates can fix bugs and improve the functionality of the lock management features.
- Reset the Lock: If all else fails, you can try resetting the Deadbolt Smart Lock to its factory settings. However, this will erase all the existing access codes and settings, so make sure you have a backup or note down all the important information before doing this.
