The Schlage BE365 is a popular smart lock known for its convenience and security features. But what happens when you need to change the code? This guide walks you through the process step-by-step, ensuring you can update your access codes quickly and easily. We'll cover changing user codes, the admin code, and troubleshooting common issues.

Understanding Your Schlage BE365 Codes

Before diving into code changes, it's crucial to understand the different types of codes on your Schlage BE365:

• Admin Code: This is the master code, granting full access to all lock settings, including adding, deleting, and modifying user codes. You'll need this code to make any changes to the lock's access permissions. Never share this code.
• User Codes: These are individual codes assigned to specific users. Each user code provides access only to the functions assigned to that user. You can create multiple user codes with varying access levels.

How to Change a User Code on Your Schlage BE365

This section details how to modify or delete existing user codes or add new ones. Remember, you will need the Admin Code to perform these actions.

Step 1: Access the Programming Menu

1. Press the Schlage logo button on the lock keypad.
2. Enter your Admin code correctly.
3. The lock should indicate successful entry by beeping or displaying a specific symbol. The display should show the programming menu.

Step 2: Navigate to User Code Management

The exact menu navigation will depend slightly on the specific BE365 model and firmware. Consult your lock's user manual for precise instructions. Generally, you will need to press a specific button or use the keypad to select "User Codes" or a similar option. Expect to follow prompts on the keypad display.

Step 3: Add, Edit, or Delete a User Code

• Adding a User Code: Follow the on-screen prompts to input a new user code. The lock will typically guide you through entering the new code twice for confirmation. Assign the user code a name if possible for easy identification.
• Editing a User Code: Locate the user code you want to change. You'll typically be given the option to alter the existing code. Enter the new code twice to confirm.
• Deleting a User Code: Select the user code you want to delete. Confirm the deletion.

Step 4: Save Changes

After making your changes, save them by following the on-screen instructions. This usually involves pressing a specific button or waiting for the lock to automatically save.

How to Change Your Schlage BE365 Admin Code

Changing your admin code is a critical security step. It ensures that only you have control over your lock's access permissions.

Step 1: Access the Programming Menu (This is the same as step 1 in the previous section.)

Step 2: Find the Admin Code Management Option

Navigate through the programming menu using your keypad to find the option for changing the admin code. The exact wording may vary slightly.

Step 3: Enter Your Current Admin Code

You'll be prompted to enter your current admin code. This verifies your authorization to change the code.

Step 4: Enter Your New Admin Code

Follow the prompts to enter your new admin code. You’ll likely be asked to enter it twice for confirmation. Choose a code that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.

Step 5: Save Changes (This is the same as step 4 in the previous section.)

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Incorrect Code Entry: Double-check that you are entering the codes correctly. Incorrect entries may lock the keypad temporarily.
• Battery Issues: Low battery power can cause problems with the lock's functions. Replace the batteries if necessary.
• Lock Failure: If you're encountering persistent issues, consult your lock's manual or contact Schlage customer support.

Maintaining Security

Remember, regularly updating your codes and keeping your admin code secure are crucial for maintaining the security of your Schlage BE365. Consider changing your codes periodically. Never share your admin code with anyone.

This comprehensive guide provides a clear understanding of how to manage codes on your Schlage BE365. Following these steps carefully will help you maintain control and security for your home or business. Remember to always consult your lock's user manual for specific instructions related to your model.
