After buying and installing a Lockly smart lock on the door, you need to program the lock to make it functional. There are different models of Lockly Smart Lock available in the market. Still, the programming method is universal for all Lockly smart locks (all Lockly smart locks run on the same operating system).
I have done a quick research about how to program a Lockly smart lock, and here’s what I know.
The Lockly smart lock can be programmed in two ways, using the Lockly Smart App or by clicking the programming button of the lock. Programming using the app is easier compared to manual programming.
I have explained both programming methods step-by-step in this article, so read on to learn more about it.
Lockly Smart Lock Manual Programming Instructions
The New Lockly smart lock comes pre-programmed with a default six-digit access code, i.e., 123456. However, the default access code will be deleted when the lock is reprogrammed. Follow the step-by-step guidelines to program the Lockly smart lock-
- Step 1: Remove the battery compartment of the lock- inside the battery compartment, you will find two buttons 1. Reset Button 2. Programming-Button.
- Step 2: Click on the programming button to enable programming mode.
- Step 3: On the lock screen, you will see three options, i.e., 1AD, 2DE & 3CH.
- Step 4: Click on 1AD–>Pd to add a new access code.
- Step 5: Enter the 6-8 digit unique access code and click on the home button.
- Step 6: Re-enter the same access code again.

Note: If Lockly smart lock is connected to Lockly smart app on your phone, previous access code data will be transferred to the app. However, if you want to add or delete a new access code, it should be done from the app (the manual programming option will be disabled once connected to the app).
How to Program Lockly Smart Lock Using App?
To program the Lockly smart lock using the Lockly smart app, you will also require the initial code that comes with the lock (the initial code can be found on the card within the lock package). Once you have the initial code, you can follow the step-by-step procedure of programming lockly smart lock using the app:

- Click on the display button to close or open the door.
Note: If the lock is manually programmed, it’s good to reset the lock before adding the lock to the Lockly Smart App. I have explained the complete resetting method of the lockly smart lock in a separate article.
How to Add Multiple Access Codes to My Lockly Smart Lock?
Multiple access codes can be added using 2 methods 1. Using the Physical programming button 2. From Lockly smart app.
Using The Programming Button
If the lock is not connected to the app, multiple access code can be added by clicking the physical programming button. The physical programming button is located inside the battery compartment. Click the programming button once and enter your previous access or default access code. Now, on the screen, you will see three options, i.e., 1AD, 2OE, and 3CH. To add a new access code, click 2OE, enter a 6 to 8-digit access code, and click the home button of the lock. To finish the setup procedure, re-entre the aces code again and click “Y” on the screen to confirm.
Note: This method of adding a new access code only works if the lock is not connected to lockly smart app.
