Sharing access to your smart lock with guests has never been easier thanks to the Schlage Encode Plus Assistant. Whether you’re hosting visitors or managing multiple users, this guide will walk you through the process of granting temporary or permanent access securely and efficiently.

Getting Started with Schlage Encode Plus Assistant

Before sharing access, ensure your Schlage Encode Plus lock is properly installed and connected to your Wi-Fi network. Download the Schlage Encode Plus app on your smartphone and complete the initial setup, including creating an account and linking your lock.

Setting Up Guest Access

To share access with guests, open the Schlage Encode Plus app and navigate to the lock management section. Tap on the lock you wish to share and select the “Guests” or “Access Sharing” option. From here, you can create new guest entries.

Creating a Guest Code

Choose the option to generate a new access code. You can specify the duration of access, such as a one-time code, a recurring code, or a time-limited code. Enter the guest’s name for easy identification and save the code.

Sharing the Access Details

Once the code is generated, share it securely with your guest via email, text message, or in person. Make sure they understand the validity period and usage instructions. The guest can then use this code to unlock the door during the designated times.

Managing Guest Access

You can view and manage all active guest codes within the app at any time. If a guest’s access needs to be revoked early, simply delete or deactivate their code. This feature helps maintain control over who has access to your property.
