A former tenant installed a kwikset powerbolt 1000 at my rental property and the tenant that just left lost the owner's manual. I need to change the battery and the code, but don't have the instructions. I have keys to the lock so can open the door, but we want to be able to use the keyless system.

Go to www.kwikset.com. Click on "Customer support" located at the bottom of the page in the middle of two other options. Click on FAQ's located to your right and also below the top picture, either one will take you to the same page. This will open a new window with a list of questions. Click on #14: "How do I troubleshoot my powerbolt 1000?" I think this will answer all your questions on the 1000 model. It's just like an instruction manual. This was so helpful, I'm sure you could find stuff on other models as well.
Pop off the plastic cover on the inside. (Instructions are printed inside the cover)
Press the black 'Program' button - it will beep 3-times...enter your 4-8 digit code and press the lock key to activate your new code. Try your new code and see if the deadbolt retracts.
For multible codes...press the "program' button twice and follow the same procedure

We just moved into a house that has a Kwickset 898 system. The prior owner never used it and does not know the code. Can not contact the prior owner to that one. We also have the key but would like to use the keypad. Please help us with a User's Guide and way to reset the code.
