I'm assuming you are dealing with the Powerbolt, since you didn't mention the model of lock you have. This problem is probably because the "handedness" of the door is set opposite of your installation. That is, you may have what is called a "right-hand door" and the lock is set for a left-hand door, or vice versa. In other words, what side the door hinges are on and which way it therefore swings open.The Kwikset lock has an internal jumper which needs to be moved to another position to change the function.

Step 11 says:

11. Door handing: I have installed your Powerbolt, but when I push the Lock Button, it unlocks? What should I do?
First remove the cover on the inside of the Powerbolt unit. On the right hand side under the batteries, you will notice that is says "Door Direction Jumper". If the cap is mounted on Prongs 1 & 2, carefully remove it and move it over so that it mounts Prongs 2 & 3. A is right handed, B is left handed.

This link will illustrate how to remove the cover to change the jumper:

I have an issue with the door locking mechanisms on my expedition. A while back my driverdoor had the lock punched in. i left it like that so noone else could breakinto it like that. i am now ready to...

The first thing i would check that is very common is the wiring going into door this is located where the door hinges are, its inside rubber boot, pull boot away from door and body and check closely for broken wires, do the say with the door as the lock was punched in, remove the door panel and make sure all wires are connected and good also that nothing is jamming linkage,theres a switch that is part of the latch as is the actuator, and last is the lock switch, all power runs through the switch thats how all other doors lock and unlock, hope this helps,

Accidently hit phone lock and can't unlock it -- default doesn't work 0000

Step 1
Turn on the phone.

Step 2 Try to dial any number, and it will tell you the phone is locked. Press "Unlock."

Step 3 Once you press "Unlock," you will be prompted to enter the lock code or your PIN number. If your phone is locked and you never entered a lock code, the default lock codes are typically either the last four digits of your phone number or "0000."

Step 4 Enter your code and press "OK." Your phone is now unlocked.

If this doesnt work, try maybe 1234... And if none of that works, your cell phone service provider will be able to change it for you, as long and you can prove your the phones owner......

thank you and please rate this answer.. :)

Oven door locks and un locks code F90

The F90 fault indicates that the maximum time allowed for oven door unlock was exceeded. The control attempted to unlock the door. The door lock motor or mechanism failed to unlock the door within the maximum amount of time it is allowed to be energized by the control board.

It is unlikely that you will be able to reset this fault code. You can try to completely disconnect electrical power and leave it off for 5 minutes. After reconnecting power, the fault code will probably reappear since the control will still detect that the oven door is locked. The only way to clear the fault code is to disassemble the range and repair or reset the oven door lock assembly. You will need a service technician to complete this repair.
