Replacing Lost Resident Keys (continued) 
 
7.  Back at the Create Inhibit Resident Key PC dialog box, the name of 
the person you selected will appear in the box under the words, “The 
Key Is Assigned To.”  
 
 
8.  When you are satisfied with the settings for this Inhibit Resident key, 
insert a key into the encoder and click OK. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note: You must keep the key in the electronic key encoder base while the key image 
spins on the PC screen. 
 
 
Note: If a key is not currently in the electronic key encoder, the PC will display an error screen until you 
insert a key into the electronic key encoder.  
 
Note: You must keep the USB cable connected between the electronic key encoder base and the PC 
while the key image spins on the PC screen. The PC dialog screen will display, “The write operation was 
successful!”  
 
9. Click OK on the PC message to continue creating Inhibit Resident 
keys if you wish. 
 
Note: “The Keys Made This Session” number at the bottom of the PC 
dialog box will change to reflect each Inhibit Resident key you create. 
 
Now that you have created the Inhibit Resident key, you have updated 
the SAM RF System as to which resident key IDs are no longer valid. You 
can immediately create a replacement Resident key. 
 
10. Reprogramming Locks To ensure the security of your property, all 
locks that a lost key once opened must be reprogrammed to ignore 
that key from now on.  
 
IMPORTANT: You will need to insert the Inhibit Resident key into that resident’s unit lock, suite lock (if 
applicable) and all common access locks on your property. This will reprogram the locks to no longer 
provide access to any of the key IDs selected.
