If your Electronic Door Lock is beeping and the buttons are flashing red, this means that there's been some kind of error or the batteries are low. If the batteries have already been changed and you still see a red flashing light when you try to use the lock, there could be an error with the lock.
A flashing red light on your Smart Lock indicates that your batteries need to be replaced. To resolve this issue, replace your existing batteries with a fresh set of 4 brand new AA Alkaline batteries. It is important to replace all 4 batteries at one time.

FIRST: Most electronic lock issues are due to battery condition. Poor quality or old batteries do not supply enough power to the lock for proper function. First step will always be to ensure you are using good batteries.
Try rebooting the door lock by removing the batteries. Removing the batteries will force the device to reset. Then, check the security panel (or control panel) to make sure that the door lock is appearing on the list of connected devices. If it is not appearing, reconnect it.
Check or Replace The Batteries
