Smart lock keypad isn't responding when you press the numbers
The keypad batteries are dead. Your lock still works via the app but the keypad is powered separately. Replace the keypad batteries first. If that doesn't fix it, there's a reset button on the lock itself.
Your smart lock has two sets of batteries: main ones for the lock body and separate ones for the keypad. When the keypad goes silent, its batteries are dead. You can still unlock via the app, so there's no emergency, but replacing the keypad batteries is quick and fixes it straight away. If new batteries don't work, a simple reset will restart the connection.
- ✓Have your smart lock powered on before starting
- ✓Make sure your WiFi network is accessible from where your lock is installed
- ✓Keep your smart lock available for testing throughout troubleshooting

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Replacing only the lock batteries and forgetting the keypad has separate batteries
- Installing keypad batteries backwards (+ side facing the wrong direction)
- Not waiting long enough after reset for the keypad to reinitialize
- Using the wrong battery type (CR2032 vs AA) for the keypad
Signs you need professional help
- If the keypad cover won't come off without breaking, or the battery compartment is corroded, or the keypad still doesn't respond after battery replacement and reset, the keypad hardware has likely failed. Get in touch and we'll sort it out.
