To lock a Schlage keypad door from the outside, usually, you simply press the Schlage button (or equivalent button depending on the model) to engage the deadbolt.
Here's a more detailed breakdown based on common keypad door lock functionality, focusing on the Schlage BE365 as a reference:
-
Press the Schlage Button (or Equivalent): The primary method for locking most Schlage keypad deadbolts is by pressing the Schlage button located on the exterior keypad. This activates the locking mechanism, extending the deadbolt and securing the door.
-
Verify Locking: After pressing the button, physically check if the door is securely locked by attempting to open it.
-
Incorrect Code Attempts: Note that repeated attempts to enter an invalid user code can temporarily disable the keypad. The Schlage button will flash red, and after approximately four incorrect attempts, the lock may emit five high and low beeps. It will not operate immediately after those four failed attempts. Wait before trying again.
If you are still experiencing issues, consult the specific user manual for your particular keypad lock model. Different models may have slightly different procedures.
