Changing Code on Kwikset SmartCode 909

To change a User Code on your Kwikset SmartCode 909, you’ll need to add a new code to override the existing one. However, you must know the position of the code you want to change.

As you probably know, the lock allows you to add up to 8 User Codes. And you have to note the position (1-8) of each code as you’ll need it if you want to change any of the code.

That said, follow the steps below to change the User Code on your Kwikset SmartCode 909:

1. Ensure your door is open to prevent accidental lock-out.
2. Remove the interior cover of the lock to find the Program button (a black circle button).
3. Press the Program button the number of times that correspond to the position of the code you want to change. For example, if the code you want to change is in position 4, press the Program button four times (keep reading if you don’t remember the position of the code).
4. Enter a new User Code—4 or 8 digits.
5. Press the Lock button on the keypad.
6. If the lock flashes green once and beeps once, it means the new code has successfully replaced the old code.
7. Test the new code to see if it unlocks the lock.

Note: The programming may fail if the new code is a duplicate. Ensure you replace the existing User Code with a unique code (4 or 8 digits). More so, programming may time out if you pause for over 5 seconds during the process, so ensure you don’t pause.
