How the Kwikset 916 Uses Touchscreen Codes
The Kwikset 916 is an electronic deadbolt operated with a touchscreen and programmed user codes. Entering a valid code signals the lock to retract or extend its bolt. A physical key and the inside thumbturn provide ways to operate the lock without using a code.
Like other electronic deadbolts, it depends on working batteries, functioning electronics, and a door that lets the bolt move freely. If the keypad stops responding, a code does not work, or the bolt binds, the cause may be the batteries, code setup, lock installation, or door alignment. We can come to you to assess the lock and help with the issue. If you’re comparing products, see our Kwikset locksmith page or learn about the Kwikset 910.
Three Kwikset 916 Checks to Try Before Calling
- Check the batteries — If the touchscreen is dim, unresponsive, or inconsistent, replace the batteries with fresh ones of the type listed in the lock’s manual. Make sure they are seated correctly, then try the keypad again.
- Confirm the code — Enter a code you know is programmed, and press the buttons deliberately. If you recently changed codes or reset the lock, use the instructions for your exact model to complete setup and add the code again.
- Look at the door alignment — With the door open, operate the lock and notice whether the bolt moves smoothly. If it works with the door open but binds when the door is closed, the door or strike plate may be out of alignment. Don’t force the bolt.

When a Kwikset 916 Makes Sense for Your Door
You want entry by code
The 916 suits people who want to unlock a door using a touchscreen code rather than relying on a key for every entry. Keep a working key available as another way to operate the lock.
You need help with an existing lock
If your Kwikset 916 has a failed keypad, trouble accepting codes, a sticking bolt, or a setup problem, service may address the issue without replacing the entire lock. We can inspect the lock and door at your location.
Your needs call for a different lock
A different lock may be a better fit if you don’t want electronic code entry, need a lock that matches a different door setup, or want features beyond your current model. We can discuss the door and what you need before recommending a direction.
Simple Habits for a Reliable Kwikset 916
- Replace batteries when needed — Pay attention to low-battery alerts or changes in keypad response. Use the battery type stated in the product manual and replace the full set together.
- Keep codes current — Remove codes you no longer use and choose codes you can enter reliably. Store setup information somewhere secure, not on or beside the lock.
- Use the keypad gently — Press the touchscreen as directed in the manual. Avoid striking, prying, or using harsh cleaners on the keypad.
- Notice changes in bolt movement — If the bolt starts rubbing or sticking, check the door’s movement and alignment rather than forcing the lock. A lock that binds can put extra strain on its components.

Frequently asked questions
Should I repair or replace my Kwikset 916 in Salt Lake City?
Repair may make sense when the problem comes from batteries, code setup, installation, or a sticking bolt that can be corrected. Replacement may be the better option if the lock has damage or a failure that can’t be resolved through service. We can inspect the lock and door where you are and explain the options.
Can a locksmith rekey a Kwikset 916 in Salt Lake City?
Yes, rekeying can change which physical key operates the lock without changing its electronic user codes. The lock’s condition and configuration matter, so we’ll check it before proceeding. Read more about our rekeying service.
What should I do if I’m locked out with a Kwikset 916 in Salt Lake City?
If you have an authorized physical key, try it without forcing the lock. If you don’t have a working key or code, call us for mobile locksmith help; we come to you and are open 24/7. We won’t provide instructions for bypassing the lock.
How long do Kwikset 916 batteries last?
Battery life varies with use, battery condition, and other factors, so there isn’t one duration that applies to every lock. Watch for low-battery alerts or changes in keypad operation, and follow the product manual for battery replacement.
What happens if the power or batteries run out on a Kwikset 916?
When the batteries are depleted, the keypad and code entry won’t operate until the lock has power again. The Kwikset 916 has a keyed cylinder, so you can use the physical key; from inside, the thumbturn operates the bolt manually.
