Re-Handing a Kwikset 620

Modified on Tue, 30 Dec at 2:42 PM

If your lock is not extending, or turns multiple times in the lock, occasionally a re-handing process is needed.  

Follow these instructions to re-hand your Kwikset 620:


  1. Remove the battery pack
  2. Press and HOLD the "Program" button while re-inserting the battery pack. Release the button shortly after the pack is installed.  The status LED will flash green and red.
  3. Press "Program" button once more.
  4. The latch bolt will extend and retract to learn the door orientation.  The status LED will indicate success or failure.  
    1. SUCCESS: LED flashes green
    2. FAILURE: LED remains solid red for 5 seconds.
