Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

"I order a Kwikset lock to replace this Amazon Basics that didn't work, turns out the Kwikset is the EXACT same lock only with much better instructions. I applied those instructions to the Amazon Basics lock and everything worked fine immediately. Using the Amazon Basics instructions letter for letter just was unsuccessful after multiple frustrating attempts and troubleshooting. Here is my summary of the Kwikset instructions adapted to the Amazon Basics lock. 1. While the door is OPEN and UNLOCKED enter the programming code 0000, press lock/unlock, you will hear one beep, press 0, press lock/unlock. The latch bolt will extend and retract and the L/U button will turn green or red ( green successfully recognized door orientation) red make sure door is unlocked and batteries are fresh. 2. press L/U button, latch bolt will extend to lock ( this is how you lock the door) 3. Enter default code 1234 then press L/U - the door will unlock 4. Delete all user codes ( my suggestion - this will free up the memory to accept your new user codes) 5. Add user codes: Make sure door is unlocked and open, enter 0000, press L/U, one beep, press 1, press L/U, one beep, enter new user code 4-10 digits, press L/U, 2 beeps if successful, 3 unsuccessful, try again. Test the code: Wake the screen by pressing random button, enter new user code, press L/U, door should unlock. Otherwise use the Amazon Basics instructions to perform other functions. Hope that helps all of you that are unhappy with this lock. Amazon - please rewrite those instructions!" - written by another reviewer, thank you person who found this out, I was about to go nuts with this lock.
