Enroll, delete, or reset a Yale/Fortune Brands NexTouch Lever Locks (FBB618 and FBB628)
Z-Wave locks use encrypted communication over Z-Wave, meaning their communication is completely secure. With this added security, the lock and the controller must use additional Z-Wave commands to enroll and communicate. With each additional command sent, the probability of a communication breakdown increases.

Important: Do not add or delete user codes locally to or from the lock. Only use the Alarm.com customer website or Alarm.com app for user code management.
