Resetting Your Lockey Digital Deadbolt: Step-by-Step Instructions
If your Lockey digital deadbolt isn’t functioning correctly or if you’ve misplaced the programming code, performing a factory reset can often resolve these issues. A reset restores the lock to its original default settings, erasing all previously stored user codes and configurations. Please note that after a reset, you’ll need to reconfigure the lock from scratch, including programming new user codes and setting your preferences.
Before proceeding, ensure your door remains open and unlocked during the reset process to facilitate proper reprogramming afterward. Follow these detailed steps to perform a complete reset of your Lockey keypad deadbolt:
- Open your door and keep it in an unlocked position.
- Locate the interior portion of the lock and carefully remove the battery cover.
- Identify the small circular reset button labeled R, situated beneath the battery compartment.
- Using a pin or a small pointed tool, press and hold the reset button for approximately 5 seconds until you hear three distinct long beeps, signaling the reset process has been completed.
- Once the beeps are heard, the lock has been successfully reset and is ready for reprogramming.
Reprogramming After Reset: Essential Initial Steps
Following the reset, it’s crucial to run the door handling identification process to teach your lock the specific orientation of your door—whether it’s a right-handed or left-handed door. Skipping this step could result in improper lock operation. Additionally, you’ll need to establish a new programming code for security purposes, replacing the default code.

Performing door handing identification ensures your lock functions correctly relative to your door’s orientation. To do this:
- Enter the default programming code, which is 0000.
- Press the LOCKEY button.
- Press 0 followed by pressing the LOCKEY button again.
- If successful, the lock will flash green twice, accompanied by two long beeps, confirming the process is complete.
How to Change the Default Programming Code
The default code (0000) is not secure and should be replaced with a unique code. To update your programming code:
- Input the default code (0000) and press the LOCKEY button.

- Enter your new 4- to 10-digit code, then press the LOCKEY button to confirm.
- Successful change will be indicated by green flashes and two long beeps.

- Press 2 and then press the LOCKEY button.
- Input the specific user code you wish to delete, then press the LOCKEY button.
