how to change kwikset lock code

To change the code on a Kwikset lock (SmartCode models like 913 or 955), the general steps are as follows:

1. Open the door and make sure it is unlocked.
2. Remove the interior cover or the battery cover to access the "Program" button on the inside of the lock.
3. Press the "Program" button once.
4. Enter the code you want to remove on the keypad and confirm by pressing the lock button or QuickSet button (depending on the model). You will hear a long beep and see a green light, indicating the code has been removed.
5. Press the "Program" button again.
6. Enter the new user code (4 to 8 digits) on the keypad.
7. Press the lock button or QuickSet button to save the new code. You will hear a confirmation beep and see a green flash.
8. Test the new code by locking and unlocking the door using the keypad.

For Kwikset Powerbolt 2, the process is similar but may involve entering a master code first and can support codes up to 10 digits. These steps ensure you remove the old user code before adding the new one to replace it. This procedure works for popular Kwikset smart lock models such as the SmartCode 913, SmartCode 955, and Powerbolt series.
