Reset keyless deadbolt on defiant

I would recommend taking the deadbolt back to wherever you purchased it from and exchanging it for a new one. It sounds like you got a defective unit.

Just so there’s no confusion, this website is a general question-and-answer site for anyone who needs help fixing something. It’s not the customer service website for the manufacturer or retailer you got your deadbolt from. I do not represent the manufacturer or the retailer. I’m just a random guy on the internet trying to help out. :)

I only saw manual mentioned on suspicious or malicious websites/

Sometimes manuals appear for sale on eBay.com or Amazon.com.

Home Depot could be contacted for a manual, as it is their brand name.

Searching for a youtube video might help you.

Electronic Deadbolt Door Lock Install Defiant clipzui com

Hi, Bailey,
I am assuming by your photo that this lock is electronic. In my experience, most of these locks, when reset will default to manufacturer's or engineer's code. This is often as simple as 0000, 1234, 9999, etc. Try this or a number of simple combinations. If this does not work, try the manufacturer's website under SUPPORT and follow links to download or request a user manual or installation guide.

Reset the lock AKA Initial set up

Which manufacturer made the keyless deadbolt lock? Make sure that the batteries are good in the unit.

I have an older Weiser Powerbolt deadbolt lock that is programmed by taking off the cover on the inside of the door. This model has handheld remotes and the keypad. Inside there are three yellow buttons. Two match the cover's lock and unlock buttons. Press and hold the third button (in the center of the set of buttons). Then enter program in the code within a few seconds and press the enter button to set the code. If the unit beeps again, the code is set. If the unit doesn't beep, retry from the press and hold the Program button step.

Another model of the Weiser Powerbolt lock has the Program button either on the top left or lower right hand side of the board (depending on the way the door opens) under the cover. Press the Program button once and then enter the 4-8 digit code. Press the Lock button to set the code. If you hear a long beep, the code was accepted; otherwise try to program your code again.

Kwikset Powerbolt locks are programmed the same way as the second Weiser Powerbolt described above.

Kwikset SmartCode locks have their Program button in the center of the bottom of the control board. Otherwise the programming is the same as that given above for the second version of Weiser Powerbolt locks.

MiLocks have three buttons in a horizontal line. The left-most button is the Set button. Press this then enter the code followed by the Unlock button. The code must be entered within 5 seconds of pressing set.

Baldwin Hardware's Boulder series of keyless entry deadbolts are programmed just like the Kwikset SmartCode units.

I don't know of any videos. Most manufacturers do have PDF files with the programming instructions.

I hope this helps. Please add more information about your deadbolt for extra assistance.

(I end up replacing the batteries often on the lock I have; it seems like they last 6 months or less.)
