Control a Schlage electronic deadbolt with an arduino!

Step 5Wire it up!

Wire it up!
Pull the control pad off of the motor and examine the rear. You'll see a black wire and white attached to the small motor. These are isolated from one another via the microcontroller on the Schlage circuit board so just find some small wiring ~24AWG and solder one to each post.

Carefully route these two wires around the Schlage circuit board and push them through the rubber sleeve so you'll have access to them once the lock is reassembled.

Thanks for the info! I'm looking at hooking up the motor leads to a small 9v relay which in turn would be hooked up to a wireless DSC home security contact. The N/C or N/O trigger can than be used to disarm my alarm using the keypad on the Schlage. No need to type the same code when getting in the house!
