How to reset weiser powerbolt 2?

Hi, ShineACS team. This is Albert.

I bought a Weiser Powerbolt 2 deadbolt lock about one year ago. I want to change the current access code, but I forgot the programming code.

Can you please let me know how to factory reset it?

The Weiser Powerbolt 2 is an electronic deadbolt lock that provides keyless entry. Suppose you need to reset the Weiser Powerbolt 2. In that case, it might be due to forgetting the current access code, wanting to change it for security reasons, or troubleshooting the device if it’s not functioning correctly.

Please note: Factory reset Weiser Powerbolt 2 will delete all User Codes associated with the lock, and the default Mastercode (0-0-0-0) and User Code (1-2-3-4) will be restored.

How to Reset Weiser Powerbolt 2:

  1. Make sure the door is open and unlocked. Press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds until you hear three long beeps.
  2. Enter the default Mastercode (O-O-O-0).
  3. Press the “unlock” button. You will hear one beep.
  4. Press the button “0”.
  5. Press the “unlock” button. The latch bolt will extend and retract to learn the door’s orientation. If successful, the keypad will flash green and you will hear two beeps. If unsuccessful, the keypad will flash red and you will hear three beeps (make sure the door is open and unlocked and you are using a fresh set of batteries).
  6. Test the lock: With the door open and unlocked, press the “unlock” button. Make sure it locks the door.
  7. Test the default User Code: Enter the default User Code (1-2-3-4), then press the “unlock” button. Make sure it unlocks the door. The default Mastercode is 0-0-0-0. It is recommended that you change it to a code of your own.

The lock is pre-programmed with a default User Code of 1-2-3-4. It is recommended that you delete this code.

After factory resetting your Weiser Powerbolt 2, you’d better change the default programming code and take care of your new programming code.

To change the default programming code:

  1. Make sure the lock is unlocked and the door is open.
  2. Enter your Mastercode – for new installs, the default is 0-0-0-0.
  3. Press the “unlock” button. You will hear one beep.
  4. Press the button “7”.
  5. Press the “unlock” button. You will hear one beep.
  6. Enter a new Mastercode. It must be between 4 and 10 digits.
  7. Press the “unlock” button. You will hear two beeps if successful. If you hear three beeps, it was unsuccessful. Repeat from step 1 slowly.

Remember, while electronic locks offer many advantages, they also come with challenges, such as the need for periodic battery replacements and potential vulnerabilities to electronic hacking. Always ensure you choose a reputable brand and model and follow best practices for use and maintenance.
