Kwikset smartcode lock blinking red keypad
Another cause for the red LED blinking on your Kwikset lock, especially when it beeps 3 times is it could be jammed or misaligned. When this happens, check and see if the door is securely latched or aligned properly. If needed, you can also adjust the strike plate to get the latch moving freely again.

Key will not come out in unlocked position
I presume you figured it out by now, but if the tailpiece is installed wrong in many deadbolts, the key won't come out in one position or the other. It's called a "timing" problem and the way to fix it is to take it off the door, turn the tailpiece a half circle and put it back on the door. Usually Kwikset locks are designed so you can't put it in the wrong way, but it can happen. (If it's not the timing problem, then the deadbolt unit is defective or broken. They are designed to fail in a way that keeps them locked, so this could be a sign that someone tried to break in, or that someone used the extended bolt as a way to stop the door from closing and it hit the door frame too hard.)
The best way to install a deadbolt lock without the instructions handy is to look at the "lazy" cam and see if there is a way to install it wrong and don't install it that way. Example: If there are 2 ways for the tailpiece to fit in the deadbolt unit when the deadbolt is retracted and only one way for the tailpiece to fit in when the deadbolt is extended, then install the lock with the deadbolt extended and you can't install it wrong.

Here is a link to the installation and programming instructions for your lock:

Starting with Step 7 (battery replacement), it is very important that you follow the procedure very carefully throughout the rest of the steps.
If your problem persists, there is contact information at the bottom at the instructions sheet to enable you to pursue parts and further technical advice directly from Kwikset.
Good luck!
