On my house door lock, I recharged my batterie and now the lock wont work
When it comes to rechargeable batteries there is an unspoken rule to not use them for smoke detectors, clocks, and menial electronics. Only use them for flashlights and stereo systems that you carry on your shoulder. :) All you can do is make sure that the batteries are touching all the terminals and that they are facing the right way.
Deleting Codes on a Weiser powerbolt.
The Weiser brand and Kwikset brand Powerbolt are identical (Black &
Decker), so these instructions will work just fine for you:http://www.kwikset.com/Customer-Support/Product-FAQs/Faq/50160000000HhhEAAS.aspxNotice
that the above is a .PDF file type. That means that you need to have
Adobe Reader or similar installed on your computer to view it. So if you

reset all code and retry...
- To program the first code, press the reset button once, then enter your 4-8
digit code on the exterior keypad, then immediately press the middle
lock button on the exterior keypad. You will hear a beep. This signals
that your code has been accepted.
- To program the second code, press the reset button twice , then enter your 4-8
digit code on the exterior keypad, then immediately press the middle
lock button on the exterior keypad. You will hear a beep. This signals
that your code has been accepted.

digit code on the exterior keypad, then immediately press the middle
lock button on the exterior keypad. You will hear a beep. This signals
that your code has been accepted.
Good lock
Good unlock
How long should I expect my lock to last? It is
This is the relevant excerpt from the Powerbolt programming and troubleshooting instructions:
"To determine why your lock is beeping abnormally, please follow these steps:
Take out batteries and unplug powerstrip.
Let it sit for 1 minute, then put the batteries back in and wait another minute.
If it does not beep, the keypad needs to be replaced (17733-1).
If the unit continues to beep, the powerboard needs to be replaced (A17734-3,3 Powerboard 1470 brass finish; A17734-3,26D Powerboard 1470 satin chrome finish; A17734-3,5 Powerboard 1470 antique brass finish)."
Since you've already gone through the battery change, try the battery remove-reinstall recommended above. If that doesn't work for you it suggests that you need to replace the appropriate Powerboard for your lock.
So this is the link to Weiser Customer Support Page, where you will find the appropriate number of your location:

I suggest calling the appropriate toll-free number and having a conversation with a representative about this problem. You will want confirm that you need the part before you go through the expense, and that it's worth it. You will need to know the "finish" of your lock. Try to talk them into warrantying the part, in spite of the age (one year warranty on electronics), as a matter of good customer relations. They will help you get the correct part on order.
Good luck--and please provide feedback if this helps!
