SOURCE: My electronic deadbolt is unlocking
This lock has the capacity for two different codes. Did you program two codes into it? If you did not, there may be a factory code pre-programmed into it and it may be the center button. Make sure you have good batteries and program two codes.
Good luck,

"I have installed your Powerbolt, but when I push the Lock Button, it unlocks? What should I do?"
First remove the cover on the inside of the Powerbolt unit. On the right hand side under the batteries, you will notice that is says "Door Direction Jumper". If the cap is mounted on Prongs 1 & 2, carefully remove it and move it over so that it mounts Prongs 2 & 3. A is right handed, B is left handed.
These instructions will work just fine for you:

These locks are made to work on a door which, when you stand outside and face it, has its hinges on either the left-hand or right-hand side of the door (= door "handedness").
The jumper controls that for the appropriate installation. Yours is set wrong!

My lock did not have jumpers, but adjusts itself automatically... You have to hold the lock button in (on the exterior side) while you insert the battery pack - the deadbolt will cycle in and out, then beep a couple times. You'll be holding button for maybe 10 seconds.
I have to say while this step is included in the instructions in a big red box, it says nothing about why or what its doing, so I imagine many people miss this...
