When to Call a Professional
Contact Schlage customer support if you cannot access your programming code, if the lock is unresponsive to deletion commands, or if you've accidentally deleted all access codes including your master code.Frequently Asked Questions
How many users can a Schlage smart lock support?
Most Schlage smart locks support up to 30 different access codes. This includes temporary codes, permanent codes, and the master programming code.
Can I increase the 30-user limit on my Schlage lock?
No, the 30-user limit is a hardware limitation built into Schlage smart locks and cannot be increased. You must delete existing codes to add new ones.
What happens if I delete all my access codes by mistake?
If you delete all codes including your master code, you'll need to perform a factory reset or contact Schlage support. Always keep at least one working code active when deleting others.
Why won't some codes delete from my Schlage lock?
Codes may not delete if the lock's battery is low, if there's a connectivity issue with your app, or if you're trying to delete the master programming code. Try fresh batteries and manual deletion on the keypad.
How do I find my Schlage lock's programming code?
The default programming code is usually on a sticker inside the battery compartment or in your lock's documentation. If you've changed it and forgotten it, you'll need to factory reset the lock.
