Step 1: Install Batteries
If your electronic keypad deadbolt requires batteries, follow the user manual instructions to install them. Ensure that the batteries are properly inserted, and the deadbolt is powered on.

The master code is a crucial element for programming and managing access. Follow these steps to set your master code:
- Enter the default master code provided in the user manual.
- Press the “Program” button on the deadbolt.
- Enter your desired new master code.
- Press the “Program” button again to confirm.
Step 3: Program User Codes
Now that you have set the master code, you can program additional user codes for family members, friends, or trusted individuals:
- Enter the master code followed by the “Program” button.
- Choose a user number (e.g., User 1, User 2).
- Enter the desired user code for that user.
- Press the “Program” button to confirm.
Step 4: Delete User Codes
If you need to revoke access for a specific user, follow these steps to delete their user code:
Enter the master code followed by the “Program” button.
Choose the user number associated with the code you want to delete.
Press the “Delete” button.
Confirm the deletion by pressing the “Program” button.
Step 5: Test the Codes
After programming the master code and user codes, test each code to ensure they are working correctly. Open and close the deadbolt using each code to confirm proper functionality.
Note: If at any stage you struggle to remove or reinsert components, refer to the Hickory Hardware manual for model-specific instructions.
