# How to Change or Add a Door Code *Last updated: June 2026 | Applies to: Keypad door locks | Contact: Church Office* ![Title: Keypad door lock - Description: Photo of the keypad door lock](https://guide.foothillsuu.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/06xvOEdS1hth99L9-embedded-image-7xhyu5fc.png) This guide walks you through programming the keypad door lock — including changing the administrator PIN, adding new user codes, and removing codes. Follow the steps in order and use the keypad on the door lock to enter each sequence.
**💡 Tip: **The current administrator PIN is 5010. The default from the factory was 9998, but it has been changed.
## Step-by-step instructions ### Step 1: Enter programming mode On the keypad, enter the following sequence to begin programming mode:
**00# 5010#**
The lock will beep or flash to confirm it has entered programming mode. You must complete all programming steps before exiting. ### Step 2: Add a new door code To add a user door code, enter the following sequence. Each code must be a unique 4-digit number.
**10# \[4-digit code\] # #**
Example — to add the code 4994:
**10# 4994# #**
To add multiple codes, repeat the sequence with a different 4-digit number each time. You can add up to 1,000 codes total.
**⚠️ Note: **If you are adding codes to an existing setup (not starting fresh), skip to Step 3.
### Step 3: Exit programming mode When you are done adding or changing codes, exit programming mode by entering:
**99#**
The lock will beep or flash to confirm it has exited programming mode. Test the door with one of the newly added codes to verify it works. ## How to remove a door code To remove a specific user code, use the following sequence instead of Step 2:
**11# \[4-digit code to remove\] # #**
Use the same Step 1 (enter programming mode) and Step 3 (exit programming mode) around it. ## How to change the administrator PIN The administrator PIN is used to enter programming mode — it is not a door code. You only need to change it if the PIN has been compromised or you want to update it for security reasons. To change the administrator PIN, follow Steps 1 and 3 above (enter and exit programming mode), and add this sequence in between:
**20# \[new 4-digit PIN\] # \[same 4-digit PIN\] #**
Example — to change the PIN to 3197:
**20# 3197# 3197#**
**⚠️ Note: **Always record the new PIN in Dashlane immediately after changing it. If the administrator PIN is lost, the lock may need to be reset by the vendor.
## Troubleshooting **Problem:** The lock does not respond when I enter 00# 5010#. **Fix:** The administrator PIN may have been changed. Try 00# 5010# if you haven't already. If that does not work, check Dashlane for the current PIN or contact the church office. **Problem:** The lock beeps three times and rejects my input. **Fix:** You may have entered an incorrect sequence or the lock timed out of programming mode. Start over from Step 1. **Problem:** A new code does not work after programming. **Fix:** Make sure you exited programming mode (Step 3, enter 99#) before testing the code. Re-enter programming mode and try adding the code again. **Problem:** I changed the administrator PIN and forgot the new one. **Fix:** Check Dashlane for the stored PIN. If it is not there, the lock will need to be reset to factory defaults. Contact the church office for assistance. ## FAQs **How many door codes can the lock hold?** The lock can store up to 1,000 unique 4-digit codes. **Do I have to change the administrator PIN every time I add a code?** No. To add codes without changing the PIN, go straight from Step 1 to Step 2, then Step 3. **What is the difference between the administrator PIN and a door code?** The administrator PIN is only used to enter programming mode — it cannot be used to open the door. Door codes (added in Step 2) are what people use to unlock the door. **Where is the current administrator PIN stored?** The current administrator PIN (5010) is stored in Dashlane under the door lock entry. Always update Dashlane if you change it. **Can I add a 3- or 5-digit code?** No. All user codes must be exactly 4 digits.
