Construction access mode
Construction access mode is used to allow access before
the lock has been programmed, and for testing purposes.
• Enabled by default
• The lock will remain in construction access mode
until the mode is cancelled as described below
• No audits are captured while the lock is in
construction access mode.
Create the master construction credential - locks
with card readers
The first card presented to a new lock automatically
becomes the master construction credential.
1. Press and hold the Schlage button while presenting a
credential.
2. This credential becomes the master construction
credential, and is used to program construction
access.
3. The Schlage button will blink on the left and right as
confirmation.
After you have created the master construction credential,
you can then use that card to add construction access
mode user credentials.
L
The Master construction credential will not grant access. It is used only to add
additional credentials.
Add Construction access mode user credentials - locks with card readers
1. Present the master construction credential to the lock. The Schlage button will light.
2. Present the user credential to be added within twenty (20) seconds. The user credential
will be added to the lock database.
L
Credentials added using the master construction credential will have normal 24/7
access.
Cancel construction access mode
Do one of the following:
• Program the lock with the SUS. See the SUS user guide for more information.
• Reset the lock to factory settings. See
Reset to factory defaults
on page 7 for more
information.
When construction mode is cancelled, the master construction credential and all other
credentials added using the master construction credential will no longer function.
Locks with keypads
In the factory default reset state, standalone locks with keypads, with or without additional
credentials, have a default PIN of 13579 and “#”, which can be used for installation, testing
and construction access. To test, enter default PIN. The Schlage button will blink and the
lock will unlock.
The default PIN is automatically deleted when a construction access user credential is added to
the lock, or a new programming credential is created, or the lock is programmed with the SUS.
TIPS
Use the same master
construction credential for all
the locks in the facility.
If you present the first card to a
new lock to create the master
construction credential and the
card is not accepted, the lock
has either been programmed
or already has a master
construction credential.
If the master construction
credential cannot be located,
or to put the lock back into
construction access mode,
reset the lock to factory
settings. See
Reset to factory
defaults
on page 7 for more
information.
