Rename Your Devices

Both Locks & Gateways can be renamed either from the KASaccess mobile app or from the KASaccess web console. We recommend this process, as to aid in troubleshooting if ever needed.

Warning
Highly Recommended: 
  1. The management code should always be changed from the default code 888 888 for enhanced security purposes.
  2. It is used to manage the programmability at the face of the lock (this code cannot open Locks)
  1. Capacity: 1
  2. The management code must be 6 digits only
  3. Keep the management code secure.

Set New Management Code
