Change the default programming code
Schlage keypad locks come with a randomly generated 6-digit default Programming Code—usually located on a sticker on the back of the keypad assembly. This code is used to modify your lock settings, such as adding or deleting User Codes, enabling Auto Lock, and many other things.
To prevent others from altering your lock settings, it is recommended that you change the default Programming Code.

However, if your Schlage BE365, or FE595, has a default programming code, you can find a detailed guide here.
Change the pre-set user codes
Schlage Keypad locks include two preset User Cods. You can find the codes on the back of your keypad assembly and the User Manual—depending on your Schlage lock model.
As mentioned, these two User Codes are preset, so you’ll need to delete them and add new User Codes of your choosing—for security reasons. Most Schlage keypad locks store up to 19 User Codes, so you can create more codes and share them with those you want to give access to your home or office while you’re away.
Refer to your User Manual to find out how to delete or add a User Code. If you’ve lost your lock manual, go here All Schlage lock manuals.

However, not all Schlage locks come with this feature—like this one here. Make sure you check that your Schlage lock has an auto-lock feature. If it does, turn it on. Refer to your User Manual for instructions if you’re not sure how to do it.
