Mine didn't work at all. No programable, no reset. Nothing.

Hello Patrick Hu,
We're happy to help ensure your Powerbolt 250 is working. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Open the door and lock the latch so that it's extended. Remove the key from the key cylinder. 2. Unscrew and remove the interior assembly of the lock and ensure that the Flat Blade piece is in the vertical position and the cable is plugged in. 3. Reattach the interior assembly and keep the latch locked. Please do not try to unlock it and keep the key out as well. 4. Replace the batteries and factory reset the lock per step 16. 5. Perform the Door Rehanding per step 15. 6. Reprogram a user code in step 6.
Mine didn't come with the flat blade that is attached to the lock, so I can't even finish it

Less than a year old. Totally seized and can’t use my front door. Don’t want to have to pay a locksmith to get me out so I might be taking a sawzall to it. I have pics but can’t seem to get the website to work on my phone right now. No surprise.

So I like the lock and it works really well. I had a little trouble trying to input the first user code. After a bit of frustration I figured out that I had to turn the lock all the way around one time while it was disassembled. And then when I put it back together everything worked. What was happening for me that was causing the issue was that I would input the first time user code and no matter what I did it would extend the lock and retract the lock and then beep 3 times red. Once I disassembled it and turned the dial on the battery side one whole time and then reassembled it it worked. I hope my discovery helps someone else. Once I figured this out everything else worked fine.
Works very good. No complaints, especially for the price. I did have some trouble with installation. Mostly installer error. Every part has to be installed in a certain configuration. Use all the new parts. Do not use any of the old locks parts. If your replacing
Doesn't work. Programing the code didn't work. Super frustrating. Tried all the troubleshooting options. Nothing worked. There's a reason this is one of the cheapest units on the market. DO NOT PURCHASE
