Follow up to my previous comment, I did indeed do the full process without removing the side screws. Not a tremendous amount of time saved but a few minutes of searching for a screwdriver around the house if you don’t have one handy or whatever. Good solid information regardless. Do appreciate the video
Hi I've the Weiser halo smart lock. There's no blockage on deadbolt into the door hole. But I'm regularly getting Jammed error message and must manually open or lock it. It might be on 5.0 GHz wifi maybe. Could that be causing my issues? It's out of warranty and actually bought for phone app convience. But it's being quite the headache. Batteries say 50%. It was also connect to Alexa app but deleted from there. I'm hoping a factory reset and connect to 2.4 GHz will fix my problem.
Hello, I recently purchased a home that has this lock installed. I have the key, but I would like to change the locks for security reasons. Is it possible to factory reset the lock without having to physically change the locks? If not, should I remove the lock and replace it with a new one?🤔
Not sure if anybody’s pointed it out yet, but unless I miss some thing there’s no real need to take the screws out of the side of the unit. Once you remove the darkened plastic cover that’s on there, you have access to the battery pack and the programming button so I’m not sure I see the need to remove the two screws…
Holding the black button more than 3 minutes, not seconds, but never heard a beep or sound of any kind. I took my finger off the black button and it flashed red once, then green once. I clicked the black button, the lock moved in and out and the touch screen went blank again. What am I doing wrong? I never could get any beep sound and no 2 red flashes. I tried it all several times.
Thanks for the comment. I might try this : ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html If not I might check batteries. I am sorry that I could not be more help.
Please help I followed all your instructions every step but kwikset 914 still wont factory reset after I see the red light flash twice I press the button again but nothing happens still waiting for the green and red flashing light
It could be a bad lock I know this is an older brand. I am sorry I can't be more help but normally these steps work. If it is not rehanding or resetting that typically means it needs to be replaced.
I might check the connection. I'm not sure if the lock was on bluetooth or Wifi, but it not being connected may of missed the information possibly. I'm sorry could not be more help but that would be my thought on it.
Thank you! Now I’m STILL having problems with getting the lock to go all the way back in. Also, it will not detect the bluetooth! I know ot will do so, it just stopped working after SmartStreets rep messed with the new doorbell camera! What should I do. SafeStreets phone rep said buy a new lock! This is a new lock!
I saw your other comment hopefully that helps with deadbolt and the bluetooth you can try this: ruclips.net/video/tkW6dniPaMs/видео.html Here is the video on how to sync: ruclips.net/video/yDpUwyVlgPg/видео.html
What does a factory rest do ? Why do it ? Is there a difference between factory reset and system reset ? Will this delete existing users and codes ? This would be top of my list of things to know when doing a factory reset tutorial.
Yes so factory reset is everything where a system reset would just be the wifi? If you were to get a new lock from someone the is used normally want to factory reset or can be used in troubleshooting. But great idea!!!
The only way I was able to reconnect my Halo to a new WiFi was to remove it from my "Home" and add it again. This kept my users list intact. The Reset, System or Factory will delete users pins which is a bigger inconvenience. Still I had to dig for 1h until I decided to delete the lock. WiFi reset procedure did not trigger a connect to new WiFi algorithm just resets and nothing else in my case at least. Quite frustrating. @@TheSmartHomeHelper
I've had this issue before too. I'd check the springs make sure nothing is broken. I might try rehanding ruclips.net/video/-bwwVqH9hBs/видео.html. But yes if either do not work you might have to replace I think is what I ended up doing too.
On our phones, it says "lock offline" on our weiser app. But the wifi is plugged in. What can we do other than factory reset? We don't want to have to redo all the codes we have saved on there
I’m not familiar with the Weiser app but I might try sending a command to lock to wake up lock or check batteries. But yes it sounds like it may of lost connection and would need to be reset and resynced.
This was installed in our brand new house. The pin pad thing works great but it's impossible to pair via Bluetooth and use the app. If I hold the A button it never turns blue and allows me to pair. It just shows a red light the entire time. Did this factory reset and still nothing.
I might check the door to make sure that look is going in smoothly. Sometimes the weather can effect this so do you have to push or pull a little bit to make lock go in smoothly?
Hey Yossy, So you will need to sync it up with an app to create a code ruclips.net/video/yDpUwyVlgPg/видео.html. This one does not allow manual code creation.
Hi! thanks so much for your help here. I did everything you mentioned and the reset process worked exactly the same but after that, the lock will not close automatically afterwards, after being left unlocked. It's driving me nuts. Anything you can suggest to get me to the promised land? thanks again!!!!!
So I'd give this a try ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html or try widening the hole the deadbolt goes into. I know sometimes it can be the door too. So hopefully this helps!
Okay sounds like an issue on app maybe try logging out then back in and if that does not work I'm not really sure what the issue is. You may have to reset and resync
Perdí la llave y no se como cambiarle la combinación. si tienen un vídeo donde aparezca,por favor. Déjenme saber o me lo pueden enviar. Gracias Atentamente Denis
These are the worst locks on the market. Tried to factory reset it because when I would hold down the a button it would just be red and not connect to wifi. Taking it off now and throwing it in the trash. Chinese garbage
Tried factory reset but still won’t connect to Bluetooth on app. After I press A and try to pair in the app the lock shows red light and that’s it.
Had to remove the saved Bluetooth settings in iPhone settings “forget device” and it worked
Okay! Great glad you were able to get it to work and I'll be sure to pin this thread just in case someone has the same issue.
Mine keeps saying “no locks found here closer” every time and restring
@@lowestsky27 I did the same and it worked like a charm
@@lowestsky27 thank you for that tip with the Bluetooth. That is what I needed.
Omg thank you sooo much. I have been trying for mouths to get my lock back to working. Found your video and now it's back up and running lol thank you
You're welcome!! Thank you for the comment!
Thanks! It wasn’t easy but after reading comments and removing old Bluetooth connections first, it worked.
Thanks for subscribing! Appreciate the support!!
Thank you! This video helped a lot. I couldn’t get the Bluetooth to pair successfully. I saw this and worked perfectly.
Glad it helped! Thank you for the comment!
Thank you this really helped. I wasn’t completing the factory reset correctly. Now I was able to pair the lock again successfully to repair the issue.
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment!!
Saved me $150. Was about to buy a new one! Thank you!
Glad I could help! And save that money! Don't forget to subscribe!

I might try this and see if it helps ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html
I will note sometimes weather plays a factor and can jam the lock but try this rehanding see if it helps

Help! It’s not turning the deadbolt after this reset process.
I would try this ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html and when you say turn is that by hand or through the phone?

Hello, I lost the key. Is there anyway to reset the key so I can use a new one.
You could try rekeying as an option
Will this help ? my batteries keep draining dead by the end of the week
This will help yah: ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html
And I would turn off autolock
I get the green and red light and the lock open to lock but never closed up or gave me the green light
I am not a 100% sure the answer here but I might try this if I am reading this correctly ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html

Hey can you help me out. I put new batteries in 3 different sets of new ones and it’s not getting power.
I've had this issue before too. I'd check the springs make sure nothing is broken. I might try rehanding ruclips.net/video/-bwwVqH9hBs/видео.html. But yes if either do not work you might have to replace I think is what I ended up doing too.
How do you set your code
ruclips.net/video/KGYWjcAAfBU/видео.htmlsi=CuBkAcURFCH22Svz
Let me know if that helps or if you have questions
On our phones, it says "lock offline" on our weiser app. But the wifi is plugged in.

my lock is draining batteries like crazy what is the fix for that would resetting it fix the problem. thanks
Resetting can help. Do you it attached to your phone and what type of batteries are you using
This was installed in our brand new house. The pin pad thing works great but it's impossible to pair via Bluetooth and use the app. If I hold the A button it never turns blue and allows me to pair. It just shows a red light the entire time. Did this factory reset and still nothing.
I would always start with with the factory reset - I might try this before syncing next time ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html
I noticed that yikes light stopped flashing but mine continue to flash a soft green/yellow every 10 seconds. Is that normal?
Maybe? Did the lock reset for you?
You da man!! Thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for the comment!
My lock won't reset. Changed batteries and all. Still won't reset 😕
Give this a try: ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html then reset it
Help it says jammed and won’t fully unlock at times.
I might check the door to make sure that look is going in smoothly. Sometimes the weather can effect this so do you have to push or pull a little bit to make lock go in smoothly?
How do you set up code ?

How do u reset the lock sound it won’t stay led
The factory reset should reset the lock, but if you are seeing trouble it can be very sensitive so I would just suggest trying it again.

I commented on other post but it should be through app if not you can try this ruclips.net/user/shortsSIGu_7BE7kM?feature=share
Great video! How do you fix a jammed? I can’t seem to unlock it with my iPhone.
So I'd give this a try ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html or try widening the hole the deadbolt goes into. I know sometimes it can be the door too. So hopefully this helps!
On the kwikset app it says jammed and it's not
Hey Christopher I might try rehanding the lock to see if that helps. ruclips.net/video/i5TDSqqy7Tg/видео.html
@@TheSmartHomeHelper I didn't all of that it rehanding but the app keep saying jammed. And it does unlock and lock with the keypad
Okay sounds like an issue on app maybe try logging out then back in and if that does not work I'm not really sure what the issue is. You may have to reset and resync
Thank you so much for this video so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
My lock keeps going low battery and I just changed the batteries like a few times
I have seen resyncing the lock help before and resetting. The other thing to check would be if the door is ajar.
Hi am following your steps but is still not working
I might check to see if batteries are good
It did everything except the toggle of the lock and the letter “A” lit up red
I might check the batteries I have seen that effect it beforw
This video was so helpful! Thank you iso much
Glad I could help!
How can I change the passcode please
You can try this if you don't have access to the app ruclips.net/video/2zGZMDnmpcg/видео.html

For the Halo, you would need to app to add a code if you have Kwikset app you can add there.
It works thank you so much 👍
You're welcome! Thank you for subscribing it means a lot to me!
When I’m trying to pair it with my phone using Bluetooth it wont add to the house
I might try giving it a reset to the lock to see if that works
Battery life? battery life?
Depends but I've seen it last anywhere from 8 months to 16. If you have the orignal batteries they are no good and I would switch them out
Tried this and it seem to want to work , but the lock has a grinding sound and not turning
Hey I would try rehanding the lock
