Defiant - Electronic Keypad Deadbolt - Install & Programming

[@darlenenelson215]

I'm a 74 yr old grandma... I did it!!! Thank you so much

[@chrismakesstuff1]

That's awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@ricardoacevedop]

Hi Chis, I was looking for so many videos about how to install and program a deadbolt like that one and definitely your video is the best one. Thank you so much for your help. It was quick and easy to understand.

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Thanks, glad you found it helpful.

[@jennyandshawn904]

Thank you!! Even the tech support had no clue how to program!!

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Glad I could help

[@stevejohnson6684]

Hi Chris, the deadbolt on mine doesn't seem to be spinning freely even with the door open. I tried loosen a bit on all screws. The deadbolt would move in and out fine but require a little bit of force (same thing would happen with the key). I haven't got to putting the batteries in and the rest of the steps yet. Any ideas? Yours seems to spin very freely when you move it by hand at 7:32. Thanks!

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Without actually seeing it in person it's difficult to diagnose, but if the mechanism rotates freely when out of the door, then I'd assume it's binding or getting drag when installed

[@stevejohnson6684]

@@chrismakesstuff1 Thanks for the quick response. The installation went pretty smooth. I was being careful every step. The only thing I did not try was to move the deadbolt with a flat head screw driver before installing the front and the back parts. Will try that next. Btw, do you have to grease the deadbolt machanism?

[@chrismakesstuff1]

If I remember correctly, they do come from the factory with some assembly grease already in the bolt mechanism. More grease won't hurt it, though it wont fix alignment or interference issues if those are present.

[@MatthewNorment]

Could not have done the job without the video. It was very helpful

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Thanks. I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@darlenenelson215]

great instructions. Even this 74 grandma could do it. Thank you so much ♥️

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Thank you. Glad I could help.

1 year later and this video still saves my day lol.

[@chrismakesstuff1]

I too have had to look back and review it. Lol

[@christopherappel6029]

Thanks! I moved into a house with this specific model and have been trying to find the instructions among videos for other defiant locks. I am reset and programmed now!

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for making this video worked perfectly now I feel my family is more protected and I don’t have to worry about the kids losing their key when they get home from school and not being able to get into the house.God Bless 🙏 earned my subscription 💪

I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful, and really appreciate your subscription.

[@icleo1700]

I tried like five different videos to reset this lock, nothing worked. You fixed it, thank you

[@chrismakesstuff1]

I'm glad you found it helpful. Cheers

[@bluebayj494]

My lock remained unprogrammed for months, my lock did not come with paper instructions, there was a QR code on the battery cover that took me to a youtube video that then told me how not to program the lock. Was very frustrating, you saved the day. Thanks so much.

[@chrismakesstuff1]

That sounds frustrating, but glad I could help out.

[@daveforeman6931]

You sure did a great job of showing how it's done. Thank you, now I'm off to H.D. to buy mine to install in our airbnb we are going to open in July.

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@telmasalguero3468]

Best help ever! Was about to give up on mine and return it

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Glad you found it helpful. Cheers

[@chrismakesstuff1]

yes.

[@zuriem5233]

hi chris can you tell me how to program to lock this keypad

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Sorry, not sure I understand the question

[@Chrdiy]

Hey Chris I lost my book with this I have the exact same defiant lock how will I find out the stock code for the lock so I can reprogram

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Easiest way, use reset button, red button by the battery, and program a new code number using the procedure in the video

[@Chrdiy]

​@@chrismakesstuff1I got it you're the man. Excellent video

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Glad to help. Cheers

Does yours lock when you close the door

I personally did not program mine to lock automatically. It is a program option, I chose not to use it.

Thanks Chris very Helpful

[@jbello2135]

@@chrismakesstuff1no u have to just press down on the lock button

[@gottiboutmoney]

Man I had the same issue lost the paper work. Do you know how to I can find the instructions online like is this a model number? I want to change my master code

To change the master code, hit reset button and then follow the steps in the video

Forgot my code does it have to be 7 digits or can it be shorter

[@chrismakesstuff1]

I believe the range is 4 to 12 digits

[@Shaniece_J]

Thank u so much 😊

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Your welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@ryanjensen8051]

Why won’t it lock after it’s installed. It’s like something is caught up in the mechanism?

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Very well could be. It's a tiny motor driving the mechanism, and if it's not mounted properly or with enough clearance it will struggle.

[@reubenpaul11]

I'm not able to do it man. Gave 2 hours. The screws thag needs to be put from inside doesnt go all the way inside at your 4:11 and is stuck outside.

[@chrismakesstuff1]

I'm assuming if everything is lined up properly and the 2 inside screws are not reaching, then the door is unusually thick.

[@reubenpaul11]

​@@chrismakesstuff1It doesn't go all the way inside the door. It is stuck halfway outside. So is the door thin? What to do in that case?

[@chrismakesstuff1]

I'd like to be able to help you out, but without actually seeing it, its difficult to offer good guidance.

[@DJESNICA]

Thank you so much for your help

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Happy to help

[@elultimomensaje777]

Does it automatically lock on its own?

[@chrismakesstuff1]

The lock can be programmed to lock automatically. I choose not to use that feature though

[@faranakgarza7469]

Thank you. First time on first try worked perfectly!!! How can you set it to lock on its own?

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Sorry, unfortunately I cant recall off hand.

[@butterflydiy9971]

It unlocks, but how do you lock it? It doesn’t work to lock it.

[@chrismakesstuff1]

To lock it, just press the lock button and hold for 2 seconds

[@chefromsay9657]

This really helped

[@chrismakesstuff1]

I'm glad you found it useful.

[@AnthonySerna-m6h]

If I changed the master code but don't remember what I changed it to then what

[@chrismakesstuff1]

There is a reset to original settings process. I don't remember exactly what it is off hand.

Couldn't someone do the reset procedure to break into our house if we use one of these code type locks? Makes me question this before buying

[@chrismakesstuff1]

The code reset is on the inside of the house.

[@DennnnnnnY]

@@chrismakesstuff1 fast response, thank you!

[@chrismakesstuff1]

no problem.

[@gigolojay2420]

Can someone please post all the programming commands , mainly delete user code

[@chrismakesstuff1]

That would be cool.

[@MsBaba2233]

Thank you so much I watched the video that comes with the lock and it’s a horrible video yours was so much easier thank you

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Lol. I tried watching the same promotion video, I struggled to understand it as well.

[@Ğħöșť42ø]

Mine doesn’t work after all the install, it just turns and lock don’t come out

[@chrismakesstuff1]

I'd suggest running through the programming again.

[@AjayKumar-xs9lj]

My one also same problem 😢

[@perlaresendiz966]

Its easier if you follow the instructions as he says at the same time. 👍

[@chrismakesstuff1]

It seems so

[@Bitcoinfam]

I followed the exact instructions and it still is not working. Lol

[@chrismakesstuff1]

Could be as simple as 1 button not quick enough or maybe a faulty unit, hard to say.

[@Bitcoinfam]

@@chrismakesstuff1 I wish I could show you a video

Fuck this fucking lock, I can not change the code to save my fucking life, I’ve everyone at Defiant… no one has a fucking answer

[@chrismakesstuff1]

instead of trying to change the code, try a hard reset with the red button inside the housing where the batteries go, then program a new code.

[@redbirds5124]

@@chrismakesstuff1 I did that sir, sorry I’m not mad anymore haha, but I tried resetting it but won’t work, I pressed and held it down for 10 + secs
