Detecting Left or Right-Hand Door Installation
When you install your Veise Deadbolt for the first time, it’s crucial to identify whether your door is left-handed or right-handed. This ensures the lock operates correctly and functions smoothly. Proper detection prevents potential issues with unlocking and locking mechanisms. To accurately determine your door’s orientation, follow this detailed procedure:
- Open the battery compartment and insert three fresh batteries. Note that the lock requires four batteries, but starting with three facilitates initial setup.
- Locate the small pinhole labeled RES beneath the battery compartment. Use a paperclip or a dedicated reset tool to access this pinhole.
- Insert the pin or tool into the RES hole and gently press and hold it.
- While maintaining pressure on the pinhole, insert the fourth battery into the compartment. Continue to hold the reset button during this step.
- Keep holding the button until you hear a long beep and notice the latch bolt extend fully, indicating the detection process is complete.
- Release the reset pin and close the battery compartment. Your lock now recognizes the door’s orientation and is ready for use.
Changing Your Master Code for Enhanced Security
The Master Code is the primary security key to programming and managing your Veise Deadbolt. By default, it is set to 12345678. For optimal security, especially if you have just installed the lock or purchased a used one, it’s essential to change this default code to a unique, secure combination. This step prevents unauthorized access and ensures only trusted individuals can modify lock settings. Here’s the step-by-step process to update your Master Code:
- Press the Multi-Function button twice, which is the top button with horizontal lines on the keypad.
- Enter the current Master Code. If the lock is new or reset, this will be the default 12345678.
- Press the Multi-Function button once, then press 1 to access Master Code settings.
- Input your new Master Code, choosing a number between 4 and 10 digits, then press the Multi-Function button to confirm.
- Re-enter the new Master Code for verification and press the Multi-Function button again.
- The lock will flash green, signaling that the change was successful. Your new Master Code is now active and ready for use.
Note: Avoid using simple or easily guessable sequences such as 1234, 1111, or 9876. The lock may reject these patterns to maintain security integrity.
Adding New User Codes for Family and Guests
To grant access to family members, friends, or service providers, you can program up to 20 individual User Codes. These codes are 4-10 digit combinations that unlock the door when entered correctly. Managing multiple users is straightforward and allows flexible access control. Follow this detailed procedure to add a new User Code:
- Press the Multi-Function button twice to initiate programming mode.
- Enter your current Master Code, then press the Multi-Function button once.
- Press 2 to select the ‘Add User Code’ option.
- Input the new User Code, choosing a secure 4-10 digit number, and press the Multi-Function button.
- Re-enter the User Code to confirm, then press the Multi-Function button.
- The lock will flash green to confirm the successful addition of the User Code.
Repeat these steps to add additional codes, up to a total of twenty, ensuring each user has unique access credentials.
Removing User Codes for Security Management
If you need to revoke access for certain users, you can delete their User Codes individually. This feature is vital for maintaining control over who can access your property. To delete a User Code, follow these detailed instructions:
- Press the Multi-Function button twice to access programming mode.
- Enter the current Master Code, then press the Multi-Function button once.
- Press 3 to select the delete User Code option.
- Enter the specific User Code you wish to remove and press the Multi-Function button.
- The lock will flash green, indicating the User Code has been successfully deleted.
To verify deletion, attempt to unlock the door with the removed code. It should no longer work, confirming the code’s removal.
Activating and Deactivating Auto-Lock for Convenience
The auto-lock feature automatically secures the door when it closes, providing peace of mind without manual locking. To enable this feature:
- Press the Multi-Function button twice to enter programming mode.
- Enter your Master Code, then press the Multi-Function button.
- Press 5, wait for a green flash, then press 1 to activate auto-lock.
- The lock flashes green, confirming auto-lock is now enabled.
To disable auto-lock, repeat the above steps but press 2 instead of 1 in the final step. The lock will flash green again, indicating the feature is turned off.
Enabling and Disabling Vacation Mode for Security and Privacy
Vacation Mode is a useful feature that temporarily disables all User Codes, allowing only the Master Code to unlock the door. This is ideal when leaving your home unattended for extended periods. To activate Vacation Mode:
- Press the Multi-Function button twice to access programming mode.
- Enter your Master Code, then press the Multi-Function button.
- Press 6, wait for a green flash, then press 1 to enable Vacation Mode.
- The lock will flash green, indicating that Vacation Mode is active.
To deactivate Vacation Mode, simply enter your Master Code and press the Multi-Function button. This will unlock the door and restore User Code functionality.
Silent Mode for Discreet Operation
If you prefer your lock to operate silently without audible beeps, activating Silent Mode is straightforward. This feature is beneficial in settings where noise could be disruptive or undesirable. To activate Silent Mode:
- Press the Multi-Function button twice to enter programming mode.
- Enter your Master Code, then press the Multi-Function button.
- Press 4, wait for a green flash, then press 1.
- The lock flashes green, confirming Silent Mode is now enabled.
To deactivate Silent Mode, repeat the steps but press 2 instead of 1 during the final step. The lock will flash green, indicating silent operation is turned off.
Performing a Factory Reset in Case of Malfunctions
If your Veise Deadbolt exhibits issues such as unresponsive keypad, failure to lock or unlock, or if you’ve lost your Master Code, performing a factory reset can resolve these problems. Note that resetting the lock erases all programmed User Codes and settings, reverting it to default. To perform the reset:
- Ensure the door is open and unlocked.
- Remove the battery cover from the interior assembly and locate the small circular RES button beneath the batteries.
- Use a pin or paperclip to press and hold the Reset button.
- While holding the button, remove one battery and then reinsert it.
- Continue holding the Reset button for approximately 3 seconds until the latch bolt extends fully, confirming reset completion.
- Release the button. Your lock is now restored to factory settings, ready for reprogramming.
Note: After resetting, all previous User Codes and custom configurations are lost. You will need to set up your lock anew using the default Master Code.
Summary and Best Practices
Programming and managing your Veise Keypad Deadbolt is designed to be straightforward, provided instructions are followed carefully. Regularly updating your Master Code and managing User Codes ensure your home remains secure. If you encounter red flashes during programming, it indicates errors—review your steps and retry.
