Kwikset 909 Electronic Deadbolt Details

The Kwikset SmartCode 909 is a motorized keypad deadbolt made of an exterior keypad assembly, an interior assembly with battery pack, a mounting plate, a latch, a strike and fasteners. The exterior side has a numeric keypad, a Lock button and a keyway. The interior side has the turnpiece, a removable battery cover, and a back panel with the Program button, the status LED and four configuration switches.

Installation begins with door preparation and latch fitting. If the door edge is chiseled, latch "A" is used; if not, a drive-in latch must be ordered. The latch face can be rotated to adjust backset, and the latch must be installed with the word "UP" facing upward. For 2-1/8" bores, an adapter ring is installed on the exterior assembly. The cable runs underneath the latch and connects to the interior assembly, with the turnpiece vertical before mounting.

A key step is the door handing process, which teaches the lock the orientation of the door. With batteries loaded, the user holds the Lock button while inserting the battery pack until the latch bolt moves on its own. If the bolt does not move, the pack is removed, and the process is repeated after 15 seconds. The lock must be mounted perpendicular to the ground, or the status LED shows solid red.

User codes are programmed with the door open by pressing the Program button a number of times equal to the code position, entering the code, and pressing Lock. One green flash with one beep confirms success, while three red flashes indicate failure. To delete a code, a different code is written over the same position. Locking requires one press of Lock, and pressing Lock first illuminates the keypad at night.

The optional mastercode adds security because it is required to add or delete user codes, yet it cannot unlock the door. It is enabled by holding the Program button about five seconds until the keypad flashes green, then entering and confirming the new code. With switch #3 on, a single Program press produces three beeps and three green flashes when the mastercode is active.

The lock reports conditions through keypad flashes. One red flash means a jam while locking; three red flashes signal an incorrect code, failed programming, no programmed codes, or low battery power; ten flashes warn of a low battery; fifteen flashes indicate lockout. The status LED blinks green when unlocked, amber when locked, and red for low battery. Beeps are heard only when switch #3 is on.

Troubleshooting covers jamming caused by misaligned strikes, an upside-down latch, mounting plate tension on the torque blade, or a disengaged clutch, which is fixed by forcefully turning the turnpiece 180° clockwise until it clicks. A factory reset erases all codes. Setting switches #1, #2 and #3 to off maximizes battery life, and idle consumption is close to battery shelf life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Kwikset 909 Electronic Deadbolt, and we answer them below.


How many user codes can the Kwikset 909 store?
The lock stores up to 8 user codes. Each code must be unique and between 4 and 8 digits long.

What batteries does the Kwikset 909 use?
It uses 4 AA batteries. For best results, use new, non-rechargeable alkaline batteries and make sure the polarity is correct.

How long do the batteries last?
With 10 operations per day, a new set of alkaline batteries will run the lock for over a year. Door misalignment and using the keypad light too often shorten battery life.

What is the door handing process and why is it needed?
It teaches the lock which way your door is oriented. Hold the Lock button while installing the battery pack until the latch bolt moves on its own. Without this step, the lock will not work correctly.

How do I delete a user code?
Write a different user code into the same position. For example, to delete the third code, program a new code in position three, then test the old code to confirm it no longer works.

How do I perform a factory reset?
Remove the battery pack. Hold the Program button while reinserting it, and keep holding for 30 seconds until the lock beeps and the LED flashes red. Press Program once more; one green flash with one beep confirms the reset. Then repeat the door handing process.

Can the mastercode unlock the door?
No. The mastercode only adds and deletes user codes. It cannot unlock the door unless the same code is also programmed as a user code, which Kwikset does not recommend.

Why is the keypad not accepting any codes?
If three incorrect codes are entered within one minute, the keypad flashes red 15 times and locks for 60 seconds. Wait, then enter a valid code again.

Why does the Lock button not lock the door?
Common causes are no user codes programmed, the door handing process not being done, low batteries, an upside-down latch, tension from the mounting plate, or a disengaged clutch.

What does a solid red status LED mean?
It means the door handing process did not work properly. Check that the interior is mounted perpendicular to the ground, the batteries are fresh, the latch is not upside down and the latch lines up with the strike.

How do I re-engage a disengaged clutch?
Remove the interior assembly and rotate the turnpiece 180° clockwise with force until you hear a click. Then align the turnpiece with the torque blade and reinstall the assembly.

What does the auto-lock switch do?
With switch #2 on, the lock automatically re-locks the door 30 seconds after it is unlocked. This feature is disabled if no codes are programmed.

Can I make the lock work with my existing house key?
Yes. The lock uses SmartKey technology and can be re-keyed with the supplied SmartKey tool. Remove the battery pack before re-keying.

What should I do if the batteries drain within a day?
If the batteries drain within one day, the lock must be replaced, so contact Kwikset Technical Support at 1-800-327-5625. If they drain within one week, run the keypad error test.

Will the lock work after several months away?
Yes. The lock uses very little power when idle, close to the batteries' shelf life. With alkaline batteries it should still work after years of idle time.
