Questions for NextBolt NX5-SN High Security Edition

Is there a way to reset the lock back to factory defaults erasing all the fingerprints?

Yes. Click the following link to view a video demonstrating how a reset is done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_uHUwsYJvc

Reset Directions:

You must remove the lock from the door to do a factory reset. To accomplish this you must remove the lock from the door. On the inside portion of the lock there is a small hole near the L/R switch. With the cover closed with the impact alarm on the outside piece is held down (the impact alarm switch is under the rubber gasket) insert a paper clip or other small stick into the hole (the hole on the inside part of the lock near the L/R switch) and hold it down until you hear 1 long beep - release it immediately after you hear the single long beep. When you hear this the lock is reset back to factory defaults. If you hear an alarm sound when performing this it means the impact alarm on the outside is not held down.

In addition to this method the NextBolt series locks have an additional way to reset the lock. If you are the administrator this series of locks can be reset *without removing the lock from the door.  To do this make sure the sliding cover is closed before you begin.

Please use the following steps to delete ALL fingerprint users on a NextBolt:
1. Press and hold the DEL button.
2. While holding down the DEL button add the other two buttons (ADD & OPEN/CLOSE). Now all three buttons on the lock will be held down.
3. When one long beep is heard, pull the outside cover up and place the Admin finger on the sensor for verification when the sensor light turns on.
4. Once one long beep is heard, the lock is reset successfully and you can now close the sliding cover.
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: WITHOUT ANY FINGERPRINTS ENROLLED, THE NEXTBOLT WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY FULLY OPENING AND FULLY CLOSING THE SLIDING COVER.
