This man is incredible. I haven't bought a lock yet but I may buy a Kwik set just because of him
My man! You saved the day and I appreciate your humor 🙏
This guy is my hero. I wanna see him install more locks
The method and use of gentle humor is well done.
Attempting the install after a review of the video. I will update with whether or not our nice surfer/installer lied. 😁
He’s amazing! Thank you for talking me through ❤
Perfect video. I guess I can’t read.
Great video!!
With mine the little flat key that goes through the deadbolt in the center isn't connected and it won't twist do I have to just glue it in there or how do I get it to stay
Thank you soooooo much
I FIGURED IT OUT!
The whole process is fine, good info, thanks.
The “problem” is, as always, user/operator error.
The interior bolt knob, is SIDDED. If you try and install and setup as video suggests with the “6” in the “12” position, it doesn’t work…. Disassemble the interior part, Flip the interior knob so 12 is at 12, and then redo the 1-kwikset button to program your code.
All I can saw is, the interior knob, has a small raised part, that is the “arrow” or “up” position. If you have the flush part of the knob, that’s the wrong direction…. It’s upside down.
If you look closely, you’ll see, on side of the knob is flush with the mount, the other side is elevated slightly, about 1/2 a cm…. That’s the pointer or “12” on a clock face. The proper “up” position.
I struggled like everyone here… and it Worked for me!
Also, when he says “have the bar horizontal…. That’s when the exterior is mounted, but to “extend the deadbolt” that flap, is then VERTICAL when you attach the interior faceplate.
Great video! He should have noted the deadbolt has an arrow that points up. Took me an hour to figure that part out.
Good job
I installed this lock last week before I went out of town. I come home and my code worked after I entered it several times. I locked my door this morning this evening my code does not work I’ve tried over and over again. I can not get inside and the keys are locked inside. What do I do?
Doesn't require a step to detect orientation like the powerbolt 2?
Hi and here to help! On the Powerbolt 250, after the first User Code is created, the latch
bolt will automatically retract and extend to learn the locking and unlocking direction of the door. The Kwikset logo will indicate success or failure. GREEN: Success / RED: Unsuccessful. Thanks ~ Kwikset Social
@@kwikset thanks! Getting a warranty replacement from 2 to 250, so very helpful!
very funny and helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The keys work great. Unfortunately when I try to put in a code it only locks halfway and then fails. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi Tank - Here to help! To get your lock in working order, please try the following steps:
1. Open the door and place the latch in the locked position.
2. Unscrew and remove the interior assembly of the lock.
3. Make sure that the Flat Blade spindle is in the vertical position and that the Turn-Piece is also in the vertical position.
4. Reattach the interior assembly while the latch is still extended (locked).
5. Replace the batteries and perform the Door Rehanding (Page 4, Step 15):
kwik.st/3R8frr0
6. Test the lock with the door open.
Thanks ~ Kwikset Social
The latch is hitting the edge of the striking plate on the door jamb that’s why it retracts and don’t lock
Im here to help the last 2 screws you install cant be too tight or it will never work
Un loosen the screws then it should work that’s how I fixed it
Amazing
When dial turned to right it clicked up but did not appear to have positive traction and appeared loose. Would not lock door with electric function. Key works perfect and very smooth. This is my second unit. I will return it as well unless kwikset has a recommendation. This is a right side lock
Hi and here to help! To set the lock's handing, install the lock as shown in the installation guide, replace the batteries and perform the Door Rehanding in Step 15:

After 3 hours of installing and re-installing, still not having any luck. I've followed ever single step carefully, made sure everything is perfectly aligned and the bolt moves freely. But the thing still won't program. At one point, I had the code working but it was the opposite of what it should be. So I used the door rehanding code. That failed. So I did a factory reset and can't get past programming a code. Might be time to return it to the store. Ugh. So frustrating.
How far do you turn the interior latch before you hear the click?
Hi! Please ensure to keep the interior assembly off of the door and rotate the turn-piece clockwise until you hear a click to ensure it's in the upright position. See Section 4-A here: kwiksetprodstorage.blob.core.windows.net/documents/kw_ig_5054449[250]eng-spa.pdf Thanks ~ Kwikset Social
Ok.. everything for me was great until minute 2:18! The "bolt" was still protruding (locked position) and you were going to give the "ring" away. Then at 2:19 you are on the other side of the door ready to show us how to install the inside piece...but...now the bolt is no longer protruding and in the unlocked position!!! How did it get there??? Is it alright to use the key to set it to this position before installing the electronic piece??
Hi David - Here to help! Yes, you can use the key to lock the deadbolt latch and then remove the key from the cylinder. The latch must be in the locked position before installing the interior assembly of the lock. Please see Section 4 of the Installation Guide linked here: kwik.st/41eSjKF Thanks ~ Kwikset Social
Definitely giving that ring away tired of throwing them away
I have no problem getting this lock to work on left side locking doors, but I have bought 12 of these locks and none will work on right side locking doors, I tried the door relearn and it beeps red as unsuccessful, nothing is working idk what to do.
Hi Jim - Here to help! Please ensure you've installed the interior assembly while the latch is in the locked position and the flat blade is in the vertical position. Next, perform the door rehanding process in Step 15 with a fresh set of batteries: kwik.st/3G6WsXr Thanks ~ Kwikset Social

The install was easy, however never managed to program it to work.
We installed it with the lock extended.

I am have a similar issue. After installation, programming my code and pressing the lock button, it was very stiff and would try to retract but it wouldn't. I loosened the screws to take some tension off and that didn't help. The person that customer service told me to take the keys out but since I was not in front of the lot she refused to help me anymore
Hi Rod - Happy to assist you further! We ask that you contact our Support Team when you are near the lock so we can walk you through the troubleshooting steps over the phone: kwik.st/3TSC8Rr Thanks ~ Kwikset Social
After putting in the user-code, mine ejects and retracts the bolt then acts... broken I guess? It doesn't seem to want any following key inputs. And the whole thing doesn't even flash power etc unless the key is in the lock?
Sometimes it tries to continuously eject the bolt and just sounds like popping.
Hi and happy to help! It sounds like your lock is working in reverse and here are the steps to fix it:
1. Open the door and place the latch in the locked position. Remove the key from the lock.
2. Unscrew and remove the interior assembly of the lock.
3. Make sure that the Flat Blade spindle is in the vertical position and that the Turn-Piece is also in the vertical position.
4. Reattach the interior assembly while the latch is still extended (locked).
5. Perform the Door Rehanding (Page 4, Step 15): kwik.st/3Q9TXcu
6. Finally, check your door jamb to ensure it's a full once inch deep and test the lock.
Thanks ~ Kwikset Social
Nothing the kwikset team says will help cause they dont know what the issue is but after a very long niggt of cussing amd throwing tools i figured it out!
The last 2 screws you install cant be too tight or it will never successfully program the lock
Hi Digital in Daniel, did you ever get this to work?? I tried the "reply" from kwikset, but it still doesn't work and is doing exactly what you described... just keeps "popping" and when I try to turn the deadbolt back to retract, it won't let me and keeps extending it out. So frustrating. Any help is appreciated:) :) Thanks!

I ve tried and done everything on the instruction in order what you explained. I changed the blade spindle to the vertical then reattached it. I did the door rehandling and hoping if the programming could reverse the lock/unlock position. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work at all. I press the 'kwik' logo, it unlocks. I am so frustrated with this programming. How do you reverse the lock/unlock position in programming? @@kwikset
I tried to install this, but the mechanism couldn't work right, so it's going back to lowes, and I'm getting a different brand.

mine works when the key is installed and NOT in the lock or removable position, when the key turned and removed the motor will try to move the deadbolt but cannot move it. The key to be removed is in the lock(deadbolt out) position and manually you cannot move the inside lever.

So what if my door is locked and battary died out?
Hi Rafsan - Here to help! The Powerbolt 250 includes a key cylinder in order for you to use the physical key if the batteries lose power.
If you can't program a code, take the lock apart. Ext the deadbolt, then put it back together.
Just installed this at 1am on a thursday and the last 2 screws you install cannot be too tight. You get it just barely tight, the lock will move just a hair when you push on it. But thats how it needs to be in order to work. The last 2 screws held me up for over an hour😭

After installing it, it worked. Then decided to calibrate and now it’s not working. Called 800 number and she was not helpful. At least put someone that knows what they are talking about instead of reading a script. Why do I need to replace brand new batteries? Why does it fail after trying to calibrate? She said I need to return to store as the motor sounds sluggish on the phone. I know it has to be software issue and not mechanical. Brand new and a bad motor? Returning this one and getting different brand.
