When we first relocated to the city a few years back, I made the decision to purchase the LuxPro PSP511C thermostat.
Because it was a programmed type, I didn’t have to fuss with fine-tuning the temperature.
When my cousin’s kids come to visit, they like to fiddle with the thermostat controls, which are conveniently located within easy reach. They ended up locking it up on one of those days.
When I finally realized that they had mistakenly locked it, it took me a few days to figure it out.
According to the user manuals and several internet blog postings and discussion forums, each model has a unique locking mechanism.
As a result, I’ve put together this detailed explanation on how to lock and unlock a few of the most common LuxPro Thermostat models. How can you get access to your LuxPro thermostat?
Press the NEXT button to release the lock on the Luxpro thermostat. The message ‘ENTER CODE’ will appear after five seconds of holding down the next button. To unlock, type in the code you used to secure the door. It’s possible to change the current digit by pressing the UP/DOWN and the NEXT buttons simultaneously. For another 5 seconds, hold down the NEXT button. It’s now safe to use your Luxpro thermostat.
In conclusion, Your LuxPRO Thermostat isn’t working, and you’re wondering why. Not only are you not alone, but it’s possible that you locked it accidentally. You can change temperature and other settings only by yourself; therefore, the thermostat’s lock function isn’t a problem.
Fortunately, unlocking the thermostat is a simple process that just takes a few seconds to complete. If you’re unsure how to unlock your LuxPRO Thermostat, stay reading as I’ll lead you through the process. Let’s get started!
How to Unlock Your LuxPro Thermostat?
A LuxPRO Thermostat may be unlocked by following these steps:
Press the NEXT button three times (NEXT, NEXT, NEXT) on your thermostat before pressing the HOLD button to lock in the temperature. Your LuxPRO Thermostat’s display will no longer show a padlock symbol, indicating that it has been unlocked.
Your thermostat model may need a code to unlock if this technique doesn’t work for you. When locking a LuxPRO thermostat, certain models require the user to provide a three-digit password. You’ll need to input the code you’re given to unlock the device. Hit the Closed Padlock symbol on your thermostat and then input your password before pressing NEXT.
You may attempt the default code (000) to see if it unlocks your thermostat if you lose the code or don’t know how it was locked. To unlock it, you’ll need to reset your thermostat if it’s not working.
Find the “R. Reset” white circular button on the right or left side of your LuxPRO Thermostat to reset it. Hold down the button for roughly five seconds after that. Remove the key lock from your thermostat by following these instructions.
This reset will erase all of your thermostat’s unique settings, so you’ll have to start from scratch if you want to use it again.

While locking the thermostat, you had the option of using the default lock code “0000” or your own four-digit number.
If you’ve forgotten your lock code, just follow the instructions below to get access to your thermostat again.
- For around 5 seconds, press and hold the NEXT button.
- You’ll see an ‘ENTER CODE’ message appear on your screen.
- Use the UP/DOWN and NEXT buttons to go to the next digit in your lock screen code.
- Upon completion, hit and hold the NEXT button for five seconds.
- You’ll be able to return to your thermostat’s standard Run screen.
- There is no padlock icon on your thermostat, which indicates that it has been unlocked.
The only way to regain access to your thermostat is to reset the lock screen code. In order to do so, follow these steps:
- RUN the Set Slide switch by pressing the RUN button on the switch.
- The HW RST button is hidden below the circuit board of the thermostat. A hard reset may be accomplished using this.
- Hold it down for three seconds. The thermostat should now be unlocked.
If you still see the padlock icon, try again with a different lock screen code. This time, the code is “0000.”
But make sure you don’t push a button for more than 10 seconds at a time! Keypad inactivity will cause the system to time out and exit the lock settings windows.
How to Lock Your LuxPro Thermostat?
To prevent tampering, do the following procedures to secure your thermostat:

How to Unlock the LuxPro PSP511Ca Thermostat?
You may press the NEXT button three times and then the HOLD button to lock or unlock the front panel buttons on your LuxPro PSP511Ca.
To unlock your thermostat, you must see the ‘Hold’ icon on the temperature display.
A software reset may be necessary for the event that this doesn’t work. A little white push button located on the wall, right above the NEXT button, is where you’ll discover it. The software reset button is located here. You may use a pencil or a paper clip to press this button.
This will, however, remove all of your previously set timings and temperatures except for the current ones.
As a result, before resetting the thermostat, make a note of the personalized settings.

Final Thoughts on access to your Luxpro Thermostat
Remove the batteries from your thermostat and turn off your air conditioner/furnace for a time if even a software reset fails to unlock it.
Reinstall the batteries, power on the device, and then attempt to unlock it again. This should work.
Using LuxPro’s 5/2-day thermostat, I can set separate schedules for the weekdays and weekends.
In addition, this helps me save money on my utility bill since the temperature isn’t constantly adjusted while no one is home.
I opted to raise the thermostat and purchase a thermostat lockbox in order to keep it out of the hands of curious children.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my LuxPro thermostat say ‘Override’?
For that day and time, you have set it to a temperature that is different from the one that was originally intended.
Until the next program is scheduled, the thermostat will keep the same temperature.
In either HEAT or COOL mode, an Override may be set up. The UP/DOWN button must be pressed once in order to perform this.
There will be a flashing of the current temperature reading. Use the UP/DOWN buttons once more to change the value.
How do you bypass a LuxPro thermostat?
Press the HOLD button once to bypass your thermostat. The display panel will have a ‘HOLD’ symbol.
If you leave the thermostat in this condition, it will not be able to maintain a consistent temperature in your home.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons on your remote control to adjust the temperature. Press the HOLD button a second time to return to the program state.
In order to reset the operating system, look for a little white circular button marked “S. Reset” on the left side with the label adjacent. Above the Next button, you’ll see this option.
