Preparing the Door and Checking Dimensions

Before beginning installation of your Weiser Home Connect 620 smart lock, carefully review the provided template and instructions. Accurate measurements are crucial for a seamless fit and proper functionality. Verify your door’s thickness to ensure compatibility with the lock’s components. Measure the backset distance—the distance between the door’s edge and the center of the keyhole—and compare it to the specifications listed in your manual. Check for any existing obstructions that might interfere with the installation process. Ensure that the door is properly aligned and that there’s sufficient clearance for the latchbolt to extend and retract smoothly. Take note of the door’s material and type to ensure you are using the correct screws and mounting methods. Double-check all measurements before drilling any holes or making any modifications to your door. A precise fit will guarantee optimal security and performance.

Installing the Latch and Strike Plate

With your door prepared and measurements verified, carefully align the latchbolt mechanism with the pre-drilled hole in your door’s edge. Securely fasten the latch using the provided screws, ensuring they are firmly tightened to prevent movement. Next, position the strike plate onto the doorjamb, aligning it precisely with the latchbolt. Use the template provided to ensure accurate placement. The strike plate must be firmly secured to the doorjamb to ensure the lock functions correctly. Use the appropriate screws and carefully drive them into place, avoiding any damage to the doorjamb. Once the strike plate is firmly attached, test the latchbolt’s movement by carefully extending and retracting it. Ensure it operates smoothly and doesn’t bind or stick. If any adjustments are needed, carefully loosen the screws and reposition the components. Double-check the alignment before proceeding to the next step of the installation process. A secure and properly aligned latch and strike plate are fundamental for the lock’s security and functionality.

Before beginning installation, carefully examine the contents of your Weiser Home Connect 620 package. The parts list should include the main keypad assembly, the interior and exterior door components (latchbolt and strike plate), mounting screws and hardware, a template for precise placement, and potentially additional components like spacers or shims depending on your door’s thickness. Match each physical component to its corresponding illustration in the provided installation guide. Pay close attention to the labeling of screws and other small parts; using the wrong screw in the wrong location could result in improper installation and potential malfunction. Ensure all components are accounted for before starting the installation process. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Weiser customer support immediately.

Setting Up User PIN Codes

The Weiser Home Connect 620 allows you to create multiple user PIN codes for convenient access. Begin by accessing the programming mode, typically by pressing a specific sequence of buttons on the keypad. Consult your manual for the exact procedure. Once in programming mode, follow the on-screen prompts or instructions in your manual to create a new user code.

Adding and Deleting User Codes

Adding new user codes to your Weiser Home Connect 620 is straightforward. Enter programming mode using the sequence detailed in your user manual.

Choose a unique 4-8 digit code, avoiding simple or easily guessed numbers. Confirm the new code, and it will be saved. To delete a user code, navigate to the code management section within the programming menu. Select the code you wish to remove and follow the on-screen instructions or those in your manual to delete it. This action permanently removes the user’s access, so confirm the deletion before proceeding; After adding or deleting codes, always test functionality by using the newly added or remaining codes to ensure they operate as expected. Remember to exit programming mode properly to secure the lock settings.

Using the Keypad and Key Override
