How do you unlock a Schlage Control lock that has a dead battery? Resolution: Battery Jump Procedure: The emergency battery jump start can be used to unlock the door if the batteries are dead. WARNING: The lock will remain unlocked until you change the battery and relock the door.
Connect a 9-volt battery to the bottom of your smart lock enclosure to provide temporary power. As long as you're holding the battery lead against the contact points, the screen will activate and you'll be able to enter your access code. Use the supplied physical backup key to unlock the door.
Do you know what happens when your Schlage lock battery dies? Well, you won't be able to unlock or lock your Schlage Smart Lock electronically from the app or keypad, but it will continue to work like a standard lock – which means you can lock/unlock it using a physical key.
Follow these steps to perform an emergency jump start. Connect a new high-quality alkaline 9-volt battery to the contacts below the touchscreen and listen for the long beep. Keep the battery connected to the contact points as you unlock the door. Enter your user code and rotate the thumbturn toward the hinges.
It provides room for four AA batteries, which Schlage says can last up to six months when the lock is used on Wi-Fi or up to a year if you use it with Thread.
9V battery backup
The Schlage Touch is powered by a 9V battery and because it is a standard electronic lock, the battery life will last two years with a low-battery warning that will alert you long before the battery is completely drained.
A flashing red X means that the battery is low. This is a good time to change the battery. How do I change the batteries? The Schlage Connect™ Smart Deadbolt requires four new AA alkaline batteries, installed on the interior side of the lock.
Whether it is a standard Schlage smart lock or a regular keypad lock, blinking red lights most often indicate low batteries. However, if it is a newer smart lock, after checking the batteries, you may also want to be sure that it is connected to Wi-Fi and working properly with your app.
Yes! The lock is battery-operated, so you will still be able to access your home in a power outage. You can also utilize your original key. If your alarm system has lost power and the backup battery has died, you will not be able to control the lock remotely using the app or website.
What If My Key Fob Battery Dies? A dead battery in your key fob means it can't broadcast the signal the ignition system is looking for. If your car or truck can't detect the correct signal, then the ignition will remain locked, and you won't be able to start your car with the fob in your pocket.
A dead battery is the most common reason an electronic lock won't open. We encounter this issue at least once a day. To help you avoid this inconvenience, we recommend replacing your battery once a year.
When your Schlage lock keeps spinning you should first consider low or dead batteries, try a lock reset, then double check it is installed properly. If that doesn't fix it, you can inspect the lock mechanism inside for a possible quick repair of loose parts.
To test, enter the default PIN (13579 and “#”). The Schlage button will blink and the lock will unlock. The default PIN is automatically deleted when a new programming credential is created. If you press the default PIN code on a new lock and the code is not accepted, the lock has already been programmed.
Entire keypad glows blue during programming and when the Schlage button is pressed before pressing any codes. 1 Beeps will sound only when the beeper is turned on. Low battery beeps will sound even when the beeper is disabled.
The Schlage button will light up as you do the sequences: It will flash orange once it is in program mode, green when it accepts sequences and codes, and red when something is entered incorrectly.
An alarm may sound when the deadbolt senses force applied to the door, tampering with the lock and other similar disturbances. To silence a false alarm, press the Schlage button on the interior side of the deadbolt until the sound stops.
