To change the programming code on your Lockstate lock (referencing the 500-Series / openEDGE models), you will use a specific sequence involving your current programming code, the LOCKSTATE button, the function code '100', and your new programming code.
Here's how to change the programming code on a Lockstate lock:
To change the programming code on your Lockstate lock, enter your current programming code, press the LOCKSTATE button, enter '100', press LOCKSTATE again, then enter your desired new programming code followed by LOCKSTATE.
The programming code is the primary code used to manage the lock's settings, including adding or deleting other user codes. Keeping this code secure and changing it periodically is good practice. The process for changing this code is straightforward and utilizes the '100' function code.
Here are the steps to change the programming code:
- Enter Current Programming Code: Start by keying in your existing programming code.
- Press LOCKSTATE Button: After entering the current code, press the LOCKSTATE button on the keypad.
- Enter Function Code '100': Input the three-digit function code '100'. This code specifically signals the lock that you intend to change the programming code.
- Press LOCKSTATE Button Again: Press the LOCKSTATE button once more.
- Enter New Programming Code: Now, enter the new code you wish to set as your programming code.
- Final LOCKSTATE Press: Conclude the sequence by pressing the LOCKSTATE button one last time.
If successful, the lock should provide an audible or visual confirmation, depending on the specific model.
Summary Table
| Step | Action | Input Example (using old code 1234, new code 5678) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enter current PROGRAMMING CODE | 1234 |
| 2 | Press LOCKSTATE button | LOCKSTATE |
| 3 | Enter function code 100 |
100 |
| 4 | Press LOCKSTATE button | LOCKSTATE |
| 5 | Enter your NEW PROGRAMMING CODE | 5678 |
| 6 | Press LOCKSTATE button | LOCKSTATE |
Note: The sequence is Current Code -> LOCKSTATE -> 100 -> LOCKSTATE -> New Code -> LOCKSTATE.
This process specifically changes the master programming code used for administrative functions on the lock. Adding or managing user codes (sometimes called "local codes") is typically done using a different function code, such as '110' for adding a local code, after entering the programming code. The steps above are solely for updating the programming code itself.
