Before You Get Started
Remove the existing hardware: Remove the current lock and strike plate if there is one already installed on the door. PLEASE NOTE: A different screwdriver may be necessary to remove the existing hardware.
Double check door measurements: Use the included door checker from the installation envelope to measure your door to verify that it meets the following:
- Door thickness should be 1 ¾” to 2 ¼”
- Cross bore holes must be 2 ⅛” in diameter
- Edge bore holes must be 1” in diameter
- Backset should be 2 ⅜” or 2 ¾”
PLEASE NOTE: If the existing lock holes on your door do not meet the specs, you will need to drill the holes again after removing your existing lock or work with an Installation Pro to ensure right-sizing.
Keep the existing lock until installation and testing are complete.

Using the Lock
Follow the steps below to set up the Assure Keypad:
Program the Lock
A master entry code is used to change the lock settings. A security best practice is to set your master entry code with 6 or more digits. To set the master entry code:
- Press any key to wake up the lock.
- To create a 4-8 digit master entry code, first press the gear key.
- Enter your 4-8 digit master entry code, then press the gear key.
Your master entry code has now been created. It is important to remember the master entry code in the event that you need to reprogram the lock in the future.
Create Entry Codes
A master entry code must be created before creating any other entry codes.
- Press any key to wake up the lock.
- Enter the master entry code and press the gear key.
- Press 2, then press the gear key.
- Press 1, then press the gear key.
- Enter a 4-8 digit user entry code, then press the gear key.
Add more user codes by pressing the gear key, entering the 4-8 digit entry code, and then the gear key a second time. To exit the programming menu, press the check mark.
We recommend a separate user entry code for everyday use instead of using your master entry code to unlock your door.
Deleting Entry Codes
