[@itsjustnecole7211]

You taught this so well! Thank you for sharing

[@DiogoCraveiro-g6r]

I wish every product I had to install had instructions like this one. Well done! Thank you. Lock is working great!

[@laurawoodward5772]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks a lot! Simple and easy to install that , even for women ! ❤

[@sandyfitzgerald9845]

Great video!! We had a problem with the key getting stuck . Be we just took it all apart and started again. Works great now

[@katysimard8397]

Thank you so much, I was becoming crazy trying to program my new lock and within 2 minutes with your help it’s done!!!

[@robertconcha6943]

I installed this on my front where the dead bolt was right to left to lock it. I reinstalled it on my back door where the dead bolt is left to right to lock it. Now when I punch in my user code the door locks instead of unlocking. I’ve tried resetting to default but that does not help and I’m back to the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@kwikset]

Hi @robertconcha6943 - It sounds like your lock is working in reverse. To fix this, please open the door and place the latch in the locked position. Unscrew and remove the interior assembly of the lock. Reattach the interior assembly ensuring that the tailpiece is in the vertical position as shown on page 13. Next, complete the Rehanding process on page 19: kwiksetprodstorage.blob.core.windows.net/documents/kw_ig_5052436_260[cnt].pdf Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

[@MSTechnologybd293]

It's really amazing that it actually works for people for safety. Thank you 🥰

[@Kozie2]

does this lock automatically lock back within a certain amount of time?

[@duhflushtech]

You can set it to lock automatically after a set period. There’s different options - after 30s, 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes.

[@Youreamess]

This piece of crap won't program. And yes I'm doing it right

[@kwikset]

Hi! To fix this, please try a new set of batteries and reset the lock. Here are the steps: 1. Factory reset the lock. 2. Perform the door rehanding per page 19 of the installation guide: kwiksetprodstorage.blob.core.windows.net/documents/kw_ig_5052436_260[cnt].pdf 3. Add the User Codes.

Do not use electric drills... Why not?

[@kwikset]

Hi Patrick - All Kwikset hardware can be easily installed using a standard screwdriver. Electronic drills are not required and are not recommended, as standard tools allow more control and prevent over-tightening of screws. Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

[@mikegillis5748]

great video, you made this install a breeze. lock works great.

[@maureenmckenzielueder5942]

can I set up 260 to auto-lock?

[@kwikset]

Hi @maureenmckenzielueder5942 - Yes, the SmartCode 260 can be set to auto-lock after 30 seconds, 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes after unlocking. To program your 260 to automatically lock, please follow the Auto-Lock instructions on Page 19 of the programming guide linked here: kwiksetprodstorage.blob.core.windows.net/documents/kw_ig_5052436_260[cnt].pdf Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

So how do you add an additional user code AFTER the first code has been entered?

[@kwikset]

Hi Vee - Here to help! To add additional User Codes, press the Programming Button, the # 1 button, the Lock button, the User Code and the Lock button. Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

[@veemurk2304]

@@kwikset unfortunately that doesn't work either. The "lock" button just beeps 3 times. There's got to be a better product that's more "user friendly" from Kwikset. I like your products, just not so much this one.

[@kwikset]

Hi Vee - Please try Rehanding the lock first and for further support, please reach out to our Support Team here: kwik.st/41SK5HD Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

[@tracyc9413]

@@kwikset We are having the exact same problem with our lock. First User Code was fine but the lock won't let us add a second code. Very frustrating!! Might have to return it.

[@veemurk2304]

@tracyc9413 I wanted to do the same thing but I was away for the "return policy period" so now I'm stuck with it. 😕

[@RickGart-p8n]

Great easy helpful video. You helped me install mine! Thank you!

[@cesarvasquez1972]

Hello, how do I pair this lock to the app so I can lock/unlock thru my iPhone?

[@kwikset]

Hi @cesarvasquez1972 - The SmartCode 260 is a stand-alone lock that cannot be used by an app on your smartphone. Please see our Halo and Aura locks, which can be programmed via the Kwikset App: www.kwikset.com/smart-locks/app Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

[@baggiosaldivar]

Just installed mine and it doesn’t read any keys being pushed when I am trying to set my first user code (after pressing the programming button)-any idea why it doesn’t do anything? I already did the factory reset successfully multiple times

[@kwikset]

Hi and here to help! To get your 260 in working order, please follow these steps: 1. Check to be sure that the wire and cable are completely connected and not pinched. 2. Unplug them, leave them unplugged for 10 seconds, and then plug in again. 3. Ensure to tuck carefully at the bottom of the lock as noted in the installation guide. kwik.st/3E0TG4G For one-on-one support, please contact our Support Team here: kwik.st/47Dhae2 Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

My keypad doesn’t flash green nor does it make any sound while trying to set it up. Still couldn’t set a unlock code as well.

Great video exactly what I needed

[@lopidoublack8233]

I installed and set up a code but it doesn’t fully lock or unlock when I use it. Any suggestions on how I should fix this?

[@kwikset]

Hi and here to help! To fix this, please try the following steps: 1. Check the door alignment and ensure the strike pocket on your door frame is at least 1" deep. 2. Replace the batteries with name-brand alkaline and not lithium or rechargeable batteries. 3. Test the lock with the door open, then test the lock with the door closed and make adjustments if needed.

[@101hamilton]

@@kwikset Thank you, I figured that part out but am wondering if there is a way to just turn down the volume of the beeps (as opposed to off).

[@kwikset]

Thanks for your reply. The volume cannot be adjusted, it can only be turned on or off.

I just bought this lock! It’s so pretty but for some reason the inside lock/unlock doesn’t work unless the physical key is inserted. Any ideas how to fix this?!

Hi Lindsay - Here to help! To fix this, please open the door and place the latch in the locked position. Remove the keys from the cylinder. Unscrew and remove the interior assembly of the lock.

[@ronmeeks6361]

I had the same problem but the key wouldn’t come out. After taking it apart several time and the lock still not working correctly, I put the rekey tool in to release the key and everything worked fine. This was all due to not removing the key before programming. I bet this is very common.
