The great thing about having a keypad lock like the Schlage Connect is that you don’t need physical keys at all. Instead, you just enter in a key code (aka user codes) and you’re off to the races. Here’s how to create and manage key codes for the Schlage Connect smart lock, both on the lock itself and on your phone.
Before we begin, you’ll need to know your lock’s programming code, which can be found on the back of the interior portion of the unit. You should have jotted it down before installing the lock in the first place, but if not, you’ll need to take it apart and write down the programming code. This is required to put the lock into programming mode, which allows you to change and manage the lock’s settings.

After pressing the Schlage button and entering in your programming code, press “1” and then enter in the new user code that you want to use twice. So if you wanted your new user code to be 1234, you would enter in 12341234. (Note: please don’t use 1234 as your door code.)
If successful, the green checkmark will blink twice and you’ll also hear two beeps.
If you get a red X, press the Schlage button to start over.To add a user code using your phone, you’ll first need to connect the smart lock to…
