Do you have a question about the Powerbolt 250 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My door swings outward with the hinge on the left. The lock is on the right. Unfortunately, it appears my newly purchased Powerbolt 250 is designed for the opposite swing. Either that or I just don’t know what to do. How can I change the lock direction?
To change the lock direction on a Kwikset Powerbolt 250 for a left-swinging door, you need to run the door handing detection process. This tells the lock the correct direction based on your door's swing. Follow these steps:
1. Open the back panel where the batteries are.
2. Press the Program button.
3. Press 0.
4. Press the Kwikset logo button.
The lock will automatically extend and retract the bolt to learn the door's orientation. This sets the lock direction correctly.
