The Code Types Of a Brinks Keypad Door Lock
Before teaching you how to reset your door lock, you must learn about the two types of codes for your Brinks device. The codes you will use to reset your device are labeled the programming and user codes.
A programming code is a specific combination set by the manufacturer that allows you to reset the code for your Brinks keypad. The user code is the unique combination you input into the device you will use to unlock the door.
Programming and user codes are standard across all keypad door lock devices, so it’s important to know. Once you learn how to reset your Brinks device, you will also have the fundamental knowledge needed for other devices.
How to Restore Factory Settings of a Brink Keypad Door Lock
Before your can input a new programmed code into your Brink keypad door lock, you will need to restore the lock to factory settings. When the keypad door lock arrives, the programming code is typically (0-0-0-0), and the user code is (1-2-3-4).
Users can change the programming and user codes to another combination, helping to create a unique code that boosts security. If you want to restore the lock to factory settings, you should input the code to activate the programming mode.
When you can’t remember the programming code, you will need to factory reset the Brinks keypad door lock. The factory reset will wipe all codes set by the user and restore its default settings.
Fortunately, you can easily factory reset your door lock by taking the following steps:
- Remove the battery cover on the back of the lock body
- Locate a small button that is labeled “R” to reset
- Use a paper clip or pen tip to push the button down continuously
- Wait until you hear an audible beeping noise until you release the button
Once you hear the three long beeping sounds, your device will be factory reset. The programming code will be (0-0-0-0), and the user code will be (1-2-3-4). However, you should confirm that the door lock is reset by inputting the user code and opening the door.
You can open the keypad door lock by pressing (1-2-3-4) + BRINKS button on the device. This will confirm that everything was reset for the device, and you can continue with other steps in the process.
After confirming the reset, you can input the programming code and your new user code. Most Brinks keypad door lock models require you to input the user code twice to change the combination permanently.
How to Change The Programming and User Code of Your Brinks Keypad Lock

How to Remove User Codes From Brinks Keypad Door Lock
When you want to remove a user code from your device, you can follow simple programming steps. Once you complete the steps, you will not be able to use the code to open the door unless the system can recognize what side door it’s located on.
Follow these steps to remove existing user codes from your lock:
- With the deadbolt unlocked, enter the user code and press the BRINKS button
- Press (2) and press the BRINKS button again
- Enter the user code you want to remove and press the BRINKS button to confirm

Additionally, it would be best to document the user codes programmed into your device with the people who have it. Keeping track of who has what user codes will help prevent any unwanted people from attempting to break into your property.
