Make sure that the lock is set for Assigned Use functionality (a green LED will flash when a hand is presented to an RFID lock). *The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of your product.* 1. Go to a lock already programmed to operate with the User and Manager Credentials. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/43e2fe2d-295f-490f-80b5-6c5ccfc382bb/Images/Documentation/aspire-rfid-stand-basic-rf-tr.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T16%3A29%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T17%3A29%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rX7uFs6H8jjlRlVaLP765%2BxlP9uXjozpQmHGxsuTEk8%3D) 2. Insert and hold the Programming Key in place for 15 seconds. The LED will turn on and a two-tone beep will be heard after 5 seconds, followed by two sets of two-tone beeps after 10 seconds, followed by three sets of two-tone beeps after 15 seconds. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/43e2fe2d-295f-490f-80b5-6c5ccfc382bb/Images/Documentation/aspire-rfid-stand-basic-prgmkey-in-rf-tr.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T16%3A29%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T17%3A29%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rX7uFs6H8jjlRlVaLP765%2BxlP9uXjozpQmHGxsuTEk8%3D) 3. Remove and **reinsert** the Programming Key. Two sets of two-tone confirmation beeps will be heard and the LED will turn off. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/43e2fe2d-295f-490f-80b5-6c5ccfc382bb/Images/Documentation/aspire-rfid-stand-basic-prgmkey-in-and-out-rf-tr.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T16%3A29%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T17%3A29%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rX7uFs6H8jjlRlVaLP765%2BxlP9uXjozpQmHGxsuTEk8%3D) 4. Insert the Programming Key to program each lock to operate with the same User and Manager Credentials. Two sets of two-tone beeps will be heard and the LED will flash to indicate successful programming. ![Inserting a Programming Key into multiple Aspire RFID Basic/Advanced managed locks](https://cdn.us.document360.io/43e2fe2d-295f-490f-80b5-6c5ccfc382bb/Images/Documentation/aspire-rfid-stand-basic-prgmkey-multi-locks-in-rf-tr.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T16%3A29%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T17%3A29%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rX7uFs6H8jjlRlVaLP765%2BxlP9uXjozpQmHGxsuTEk8%3D) 5.

Placing your hand near the RFID reader will make the LED flash green. Assigned Use is ideal for personal or dedicated access, where a specific individual or group is given an RFID credential to open a designated unit. The unit remains locked until the assigned user unlocks it using their credential. Assigned Use locks can be configured with a deadbolt, deadlatch, or cam. Using the Programming Key, multiple locks can be quickly programmed to operate with the same Manager Credentials. ![5G-rearunit-deadbolt-highlight-02](https://cdn.us.document360.io/43e2fe2d-295f-490f-80b5-6c5ccfc382bb/Images/Documentation/5G-rearunit-deadbolt-highlight-02.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T16%3A29%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T17%3A29%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rX7uFs6H8jjlRlVaLP765%2BxlP9uXjozpQmHGxsuTEk8%3D) A solid, motor-driven bolt that extends into the locker frame. ![5G-rearunit-deadlatch-highlight-02](https://cdn.us.document360.io/43e2fe2d-295f-490f-80b5-6c5ccfc382bb/Images/Documentation/5G-rearunit-deadlatch-highlight-02.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T16%3A29%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T17%3A29%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rX7uFs6H8jjlRlVaLP765%2BxlP9uXjozpQmHGxsuTEk8%3D) A spring-loaded bolt that automatically secures when the door closes.
