Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most frequently asked questions users have about their Lockly. Please be sure check if your question has been answered here before submitting a support ticket.  If you don’t find your answer here or at our Knowledge Base, we’re happy to help anytime!





Biometrics: Why my face profile cannot be recognized?

1. The facial recognition function is disabled while unlocking and will resume after locking.
2. If facial recognition is frequently triggered but no face is detected (more than 10 triggers within 5 minutes), facial recognition will be temporarily disabled to reduce power consumption. You need to manually touch the screen to restore the facial recognition function.
3. When the battery level is at 20%, entering low power mode will disable facial recognition to reduce power consumption.

Common Questions: Why is the lithium battery draining too fast?

1. Check the WiFi signal quality of the door lock. Poor WiFi signals will increase the power consumption of the lock and reduce battery life.

2. When the door is closed, turn the indoor knob to ensure it rotates smoothly without resistance. If there is significant resistance, it will increase the power consumption of the lock when opening and closing, shortening battery life. Please adjust and reinstall the indoor unit according to the installation guide to reduce the deadbolt resistance.

Access and Control: If I lose power, will my Lockly® still function?

Our Secure models operate on 4 AA batteries, while the Vision model uses 8 AA batteries. We recommend using high-quality brands like Duracell or Energizer. Avoid using rechargeable or lithium batteries, as alkaline batteries have proven to be the most effective with our locks. Typically, batteries last 9 months to a year with normal use and 6-9 months with heavier use. Duracell or Energizer alkaline batteries are preferred for optimal performance.

Our locks feature an indicator light and an app notification to alert you when the battery is low, and the lock will also beep as a warning. If the batteries completely drain, you can still power the lock with a 9V battery by holding it against the connector on the bottom of the exterior side of the lock, allowing you to enter your door code and unlock the door. Not to mention you will always be able to use the physical key.

Access and Control: What is an Offline Access Code (OAC)?

 

An Offline Access Code (OAC) is an access credential (numeric code) that can be remotely generated by an Admin or Sub-admin for guests who do not have a smartphone or do not wish to download an app.

To generate an OAC,  make sure you download the Lockly™ app for iOS or Android and sync your smart lock to your mobile device. From there, you can then issue an Offline Access Code within the app.

To issue an OAC, go to Access, select Offline Access Code and tap Add Offline Access Code.  Select Retrieve an Access Code , fill in the User Name , select the validity type [Single-Use or Limited-time] then tap Confirm to generate OAC. Copy the OAC or share the instructions with the OAC on it to your guest.

Single-use  OAC will expire once its used and it have no validity date or time-period.

Limited-time OAC has a validity period and can be repeated used within the validity dates.

Once an OAC has been issued and shared to guests it cannot be revoked until its been used or the validity period has been over.  If you need to delete or revoke an OAC, use the Lockly app, go to Access, select Offline Access Code and tap Add Offline Access Code.  Select Reset Offline Access Code. All the previously generated and shared OAC will expire after resetting. You may need to generate and share new OACs for your future guests access to unlock if the OAC has been reset.

If you received an OAC , find out how to use it on this link

Access and Control: My screen is blank from the outside. All I see is the OK button.

Your Lockly® must be in Secure / Do Not Disturb mode.  There is a toggle switch on the inside of the lock that turns off and on the exterior Screen.

Make sure it is switched to ON.

If this does not resolve the problem, please reach out to Lockly Customer Solutions at help@lockly.com or by calling 1-669-500-8835 M-F from 7AM to 7PM PST.

Access and Control: What is an eKey?

 

An eKey is an access credential (alphanumberic code) generated by the Admin or sub-admin (unit-owner) using the Lockly app or through the LocklyOS. It can be generated within Bluetooth range or over Wi-Fi. The eKey comes with a corresponding PIN access code and is intended for the following purposes:

Biometrics: How to Register a Fingerprint on Lockly® locks?

To register a fingerprint on Lockly® locks, follow these steps:

1. **Download and Open the Lockly App**:
– Ensure you have the Lockly app installed on your smartphone.
– Open the app and log in to your account.

2. **Connect to Your Lock**:
– Make sure your smartphone is within Bluetooth range of your Lockly lock.
– Open the app and select your lock from the list of devices.

3. **Access Fingerprint Management**:
– In the app, navigate to the lock settings.

7. **Name and Save the Fingerprint**:
– Give the fingerprint a name (e.g., “John’s Right Thumb”) for easy identification in the app.
– Save the fingerprint data in the app.

8. **Test the Fingerprint**:
– Lock the door and use the newly registered fingerprint to unlock it, ensuring it works correctly.

If you encounter any issues during the process, refer to the user manual included with your lock or visit the Lockly support website for additional assistance.

Biometrics: What happens when a temporary user fingerprint access expires?

When a temporary user expires, the fingerprint data added by that user will still be retained in the lock but will be disabled and cannot be used. When the expired user attempts to recognize the disabled fingerprint, the lock will not indicate a fingerprint recognition error and will not unlock. The solution is to delete the expired user data in the user history within the app.

Biometrics: Where does Lockly® store my fingerprints?

Lockly® stores fingerprints locally on the lock itself, typically within its internal memory. This approach enhances security by keeping biometric data within the device rather than transmitting it over networks or storing it in external databases. The exact technical details may vary by model, but this local storage method is designed to ensure that your fingerprint data remains secure and accessible only to authorized users directly interacting with the lock.

Biometrics: Can we transfer fingerprint recording from one Lockly® to another?

No, generally, you cannot transfer fingerprint recordings from one Lockly® lock to another. Each Lockly lock stores fingerprint data locally within its internal memory, and this data is typically not designed to be transferable between devices.

When setting up a new Lockly lock or replacing an existing one, you will typically need to enroll new fingerprints directly into the new lock. This ensures the security and integrity of the fingerprint data, as it remains localized and tied specifically to the lock it is enrolled in.

If you are upgrading or replacing your Lockly lock and wish to retain access for existing users, you’ll need to re-enroll fingerprints on the new lock as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Biometrics: What to do if my fingerprint scanner does not work?

If your fingerprint scanner on your Lockly lock isn’t working, here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. **Clean the Scanner**: Ensure that the fingerprint scanner is clean and free from any dirt or debris that might be affecting its functionality. Use a soft cloth to gently clean the scanner.

2. **Restart the Lock**: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve temporary issues. Try turning off the lock and then turning it back on after a few seconds.

3. **Check Batteries**: Ensure that the lock has sufficient battery power. Low batteries can sometimes cause malfunctions in electronic locks.

4. **Update Firmware**: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your Lockly lock. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve bugs or issues with the fingerprint scanner.

5. **Reset Fingerprint**: If none of the above steps work, you may need to reset the fingerprint data on the lock and re-enroll your fingerprints. Refer to the lock’s manual for instructions on how to do this, as the process can vary by model.

6. **Contact Support**: If the problem persists after trying these steps, it’s best to contact Lockly customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps or arrange for a repair or replacement if necessary.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue with your Lockly lock’s fingerprint scanner.

Common Questions: What to Do When You are Lockout?

When your smart lock battery is totally drained, most of the unlocking features will be disabled.

You can refer to these options in case you’ve been lockout:

1. Use the supplied backup physical keys included in your package to unlock.

2. Use a 9V battery to activate the lock temporarily. Your lock will automatically detect battery polarity and lets you activate your screen and enter your Access code to unlock. (See the image below for reference)

 

For future reference, please be reminded of the following:

1. When the battery is lower than 20%, the Motion Detection recording function will be disabled.
2. If it reaches below 10%, you can only use Access Codes, Fingerprint, Physical Key, or APP Bluetooth to unlock.
3. All restricted features will be lifted once the power is restored to 20%. Check and change your batteries regularly to prevent malfunctions and lockout.

Common Questions: What will happen is i have a poor Wi-Fi signal?

When the WiFi connection signal is poor, it will significantly increase the standby power consumption of the door lock and may lead to no push notifications or delayed notifications. Please improve the network connection using the following methods:

1. Shorten the distance between the wireless router and the lock, and ensure that there is a direct line of connection between the router and the door lock, without walls or large electrical appliances blocking the signal.
2. Add a wireless repeater router between the wireless router and the installation location of the lock to extend and enhance the WiFi signal.
3. If your router has a power-saving mode, try turning off the power-saving mode.

Common Questions: Is it safe to install if my front door is directly facing sunlight?

It is safe to install your Lockly device in direct sunlight, although if it is in constant direct sunlight and heat, we do have sun visors for our locks that are in either Satin Nickel or Matte Black.  If you need to order a sun visor for your lock to protect the screen from the sunlight you can email us at help@lockly.com or by calling 1-669-500-8835 Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm PST and we can send you an invoice for as many sun visors that you need in those two finishes.  Currently, we do not have a sun visor in Venetian Bronze.

Common Questions: Why does my lock not activate after installing the batteries?

If the product is not working after battery installation. Take 1 battery out, press and hold the program button behind the lock and simultaneously place the battery back in. You will then hear a long beep, once done, release the button and your device should be working properly.

Please also check the installation of the lock and the cable was installed correctly during installation and securely plugged in.

Common Questions: Do Lockly locks work when the power is out?

Our Secure models are powered by 4 AA batteries and our Vision model is powered by 8 AA batteries. We recommend using Duracell or Energizer, or any other good brand. We do not recommend using rechargeable or Lithium batteries as alkaline batteries have proven to work best with our locks. Typically, batteries will last 9 months to a year with normal use and 6-9 months with heavier use. We recommend using Duracell or Energizer Alkaline batteries as they work best for our locks.

We have an indicator light on the lock that tells you the battery is low and the app shows the battery level as well. The lock will also beep when the battery is getting low. If the batteries go completely dead, you can still power the lock with a 9V battery by holding it against the connector located on the bottom of the exterior side of the lock. This will power the lock so you can enter the door code to unlock the door.

Common Questions: What to do if the Vision Zeno Series is not connecting to the internet?

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check if the Wi-Fi hub light is functioning normally. When not in network configuration mode, the light should be flashing red; after successful configuration, the indicator should be flashing green.
2. Check the model of the user’s home router, the internet service provider, and other information to ensure that the home network is functioning correctly and that there are no overdue payments causing a disconnection.
3. If the Wi-Fi hub light is not on, try replacing the power supply or power cable to see if the light functions normally.
4. If the Wi-Fi hub light is functioning normally, press the doorbell button to test and observe whether the Wi-Fi hub produces a doorbell sound. If there is no sound, it indicates that communication between the Wi-Fi hub and the lock has been interrupted, and you will need to re-pair the Wi-Fi hub with the lock.

5. The process to re-pair the Wi-Fi hub with the lock:
5.1. Restore the Wi-Fi hub to factory settings (press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds until the Wi-Fi hub’s purple light turns on, indicating a successful reset; after the reset, the red light on the Wi-Fi hub will flash).
5.2. Pair the lock with the Wi-Fi hub by pressing the program button on the back panel of the lock to enter pairing mode, and click the PR button on the screen.
5.3. Press the PR button on the display. Be sure to wait for the lock to beep twice (“beep beep”) before pressing the reset button on the Wi-Fi hub three times in quick succession. At this point, wait for the lock to emit a long beep, indicating that the Wi-Fi hub and lock have been successfully paired. If you do not hear this sound, it means the pairing was unsuccessful, and you need to repeat this action until pairing is successful.
5.4. After successful pairing, follow the lock binding process in the app step by step until the binding is successful.

6. If a connection timeout occurs during the binding process, try moving the Wi-Fi hub as close to the lock as possible. Place the Wi-Fi hub on a flat surface, ensuring that the connected WiFi is 2.4G, not 5G. The router settings must separate the 2.4G and 5G signals and cannot be set to a dual-band mode. If it still does not work, switch the phone’s network to a 4G signal or switch from the original 4G signal network to the same WiFi network and try again.

Additionally, you can use a mobile 4G hotspot for connection testing to check if it works. If the mobile hotspot can connect, it indicates that there is an issue with the home WiFi network, which is unrelated to the product, and further investigation of the home WiFi network is needed.

Common Questions: The numbers are not shuffling in PIN Genie Mode, how do I fix this?

You should be able to hold down the OK button (big circle button on the bottom of the screen) for 3-5 seconds and the numbers should switch from shuffled to sequential order. The numbers will show 123 456 789 etc. Holding it down again for 3-5 seconds to go back to PIN Genie mode where the numbers are shuffled. This is for locks not paired with the mobile app.

If your lock is paired with the mobile app, you will need to open the app within Bluetooth range, select the lock that you want to change the settings for, got to Settings in the lower right-hand corner and select Random Mode to enable or disable this function.

Common Questions: Why are the numbers on the display not in order?

Our Patented PIN Genie® touchscreen prevents the access code from being seen by potential onlookers by randomly shuffling the numbers on the lock’s display screen. You may toggle between fixed(sequential) and Pin Genie mode to enter your Access Code by pressing and holding the OK Button for 3 seconds to toggle back and forth between the two display modes. You can also prevent the numbers from shuffling after each number is selected by turning Random Mode off in the Lockly app. To turn Random mode off, please go to your lock’s settings and disable/turn off Random Mode.

Common Questions: Why is my Secure Link WiFi Hub not working?

Our Secure Link WiFi Hub can connect with any Lockly. If you find that you are having any trouble with your Secure Link WiFi Hub, try some of the following suggestions:

  1. Reboot your lock – On the front of the lock (the side with the display on the outside of the door), you will find two silver balls underneath the lock. Between those two silver balls, there is a small hole with a reboot button in the middle. Use your pin/paper clip to press and hold the button for 3 seconds. After you let go of the button, keep an eye on the display, it should begin the reboot process. Once the display goes back to normal, see if the issue persists.
  2. Make sure you have the latest version of everything on your phone – Check your OS and Lockly App to make sure everything is fully updated. Also go into your Lockly Settings to make sure that your firmware is completely up to date. After everything is up to date, reboot your lock to see if it resolves the issue.
  3. Please make sure that your phone and WiFi hub are connected to the same 2.4 GHz network.
  4. When connecting your hub to the WiFi network, press and hold the button on your WiFi hub an additional 5 seconds to see if you get the quick red light blinking. We find that some customers are trying to connect when the light is blinking slowly which can cause network errors.
  5. Make sure that you are only connected to each Lockly with only 1 admin account – If you are connected in multiple accounts, delete your door sensor and WiFi hub from all devices and accounts, and then delete your lock from those devices and accounts as well. Once you have done this, reinstall on only 1 account and see if the issue is resolved.
  6. Make sure that you and your WiFi hub are connected within 10 feet of the Lockly.
  7. Make sure you are using the Lockly App and not Pin Genie
  8. Make sure that your WiFi hub is in a spot with strong WiFi signal. You can try moving your router closer to the WiFi hub to see if it resolves the issue.
Common Questions: What do I do if the Initial Code is lost?

It is very important that you keep the Initial Code that was provided to you in your box. If your Initial Code is lost, you won’t be able to reset it as the device has already been paired with an owner.

Please contact Lockly™ support if you have lost your Initial Code. Please provide your name, email address associated with your account, order number and the serial number of your lock (located on top of the battery compartment).  If you are the owner of the lock, you will receive an email with the initial code as a 1-time courtesy.

If you are looking to change your master access code, you can go into the App -> Lock Settings -> Change Passcode. (Please be by the lock within Bluetooth distance in order for this to work.)

If a home is sold or someone else moves into a property with one of our locks, we are unable to give out the initial code to that new owner/tenant.  It is up to the previous owner/tenant to communicate that code to the new owner/tenant.  The Initial Code is like the master key for that lock and we take our customers’ security very seriously.

Common Questions: How to restore factory settings of Zeno Series?

You can restore factory settings in the following ways:

1. Use the Lockly APP and select “Restore Factory Settings” in the APP settings menu.
2. Press the Program button inside the battery cover briefly, then in the screen settings menu, select the RE menu. After entering the Activation Code, press confirm. If the verification is correct, the lock will beep once, restart, and restore factory settings.
Note: After restoring factory settings, all user credentials and settings added through the Home APP or Lockly APP will be cleared.

Common Questions: Why does my lock unlock when I touch the screen?

This is a common problem mainly due to missing a step during installation.
Please follow the following steps to fix this issue:

Here is a step by step installation video:

 

Checking your installation – First off, please make sure your torque blade is installed vertically.

With the door open, please make sure the bolt is fully extended out, and the turn knob is facing vertically on the inside.


With that said, remove the batteries and only put in 3 batteries first.
Hold down the program button while putting in the 4th battery to start the self-check process.
This process will determine if your lock is open or closed.
You will hear a series of beeps and clicks from the lock trying to open and close–this is normal.

Once this process finishes (only takes less than 20 seconds), your lock will be oriented correctly.

Common Questions: Can a lock picker open Lockly locks?

We regularly innovate and update our property cloud technology services (the heart of Lockly smart locks) which run on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to protect against picking, bumping, hacking and other common forms of lock break-ins. We are proud to be one of the most secure and advanced smart locks on the planet.

Common Questions: How can I resolve fast draining battery issues?

Under normal to heavy use, LOCKLY smart lock battery will last up to 9 months to a year on average. If your battery drains faster than average, check on the installation of the deadbolt. The battery drains fast when the deadbolt is too tight. Insert key or turn thumbturn to check if the deadbolt is tight, rubbing, or binding. The deadbolt should lock and unlock smoothly. Below are some solutions to fix the deadbolt installation to ensure your battery won’t drain faster than average.

1. To loosen the deadbolt, extend the deadbolt halfway out and spray WD40 or fluid lubricant in between the deadbolt slot.

2. If a fluid lubricant does not work, the tightness may come from the key and keyhole. Spray WD-40 or any fluid lubricant into the keyhole to loosen.

3. If applying fluid lubricant into either do not fix the tightness, loosen the deadbolt fixing screws.

4. If the previous solutions do not work, remove the battery cover. Adjust the screws to loosen the interior panel until the thumbturn locks and unlocks smoothly.

5. If adjusting the interior panel screws still does not work, uninstall the interior panel. Loosen the screws on both sides of the mounting plate and slightly adjust until the deadbolt locks and unlocks smoothly.

Common Questions: Why NFC cannot be detected?

1. The door lock will disable the NFC function when unlocked to extend battery life; please lock it before using the NFC feature.

2. Check if the key card has been successfully added to the Wallet app on your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Common Questions: Why are my app notifications delayed?

We apologize for the delayed notifications you are experiencing. Please attempt to power off the Wi-Fi hub and then power it back on. Additionally, ensure your phone is connected to a robust Wi-Fi network, as this impacts the speed at which doorbell notifications are received.

Common Questions: Is Lockly® waterproof/weatherproof?

The outside portion panel of Lockly is weatherproof. Our smart lock is rated for around -4 degrees Fahrenheit (beyond the freezing point) and up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also water resistant but we do not recommend to use under the direct rain (for example, if your front door does not have an overhang and it is consistently raining).

Common Questions: Why is my screen blank when exposed to the sun?

If the lock is under constant direct sunlight and heat, we recommend purchasing our sun visor that adheres to the exterior assembly of the lock to protect the display screen. The sun visors are available for purchase from us directly and come in either Satin Nickel or Matte Black. Please let us know if you would like to purchase a sun visor, and we will email you an invoice for payment.

Common Questions: Why is alkaline batteries draining too fast?

1. Check the WiFi signal quality of the door lock. Poor WiFi signals will increase the power consumption of the lock and reduce battery life.
2. When the door is closed, turn the indoor knob to ensure it rotates smoothly without resistance. If there is significant resistance, it will increase the power consumption of the lock when opening and closing, shortening battery life. Please adjust and reinstall the indoor unit according to the installation guide to reduce deadbolt resistance.
3. When locking, if the latch interferes with or rubs against the strike plate, it will increase the power consumption when locking and unlocking, reducing battery life. Zeno provides installation positioning tools for the new strike plate and for calibrating the installation position of the strike plate.
4. Please use brand new alkaline batteries; do not mix new and old batteries.
5. Regularly check the battery condition. If the battery leaks, it may cause a short circuit, affecting battery life and potentially damaging the product.

Common Questions: What do I do if my deadbolt doesn’t turn smoothly?

From the sounds of it, you may have installed your lock backward.

Things to be aware of:

1. The lock must be installed with the deadbolt extended (Locked).

2. Your thumb-turn must be vertical (facing straight up) when the deadbolt is extended.

3. If your thumb-turn is not vertical, it means you have installed the Torque blade incorrectly. The torque blade must be installed vertically as well.

4. When installing the batteries, only put in 3 batteries at first and then hold down the Program button while inserting the last battery. You may let go once all 4 batteries are inserted.

Common Questions: Why is the Vision Connect Hub used?

At Lockly, customer security is our number one priority—all of our locks are designed from the ground up with this in mind.

A good example is the Vision Connect Wi-Fi hub that comes with each Vision Smart lock. An easy to set up, plug-and-play solution that can be securely placed separate from the lock, detouring hacking or compromising of private information, such as recorded videos.

The communication center between your lock and smart device, Vision Connect hub stores all of your recorded video in a secure location away from prying eyes and unwanted attempts at retrieving the video. The hub also connects directly via network cable to your Wi-Fi network ensuring the highest level of connectivity and reliability.

Until we see a better solution, we believe that the Vision Connect Hub is the most secure solution for protecting your privacy without compromising performance.

Compatibility: Can a locksmith open Lockly® locks?

Yes, a locksmith can open Lockly locks, but it may require specialized tools and knowledge of smart lock systems. Traditional locksmiths are trained to handle a variety of lock types, including smart locks like those from Lockly. In some cases, the locksmith might need to access the lock manually if electronic methods are unavailable or if the lock’s battery is dead.

However, it’s always best to contact a locksmith who has experience with smart locks to ensure that the lock is opened without damage. Some locksmiths may also be familiar with the specific procedures and tools needed for different Lockly models. If you encounter issues with your Lockly lock, contacting Lockly customer support for guidance or recommendations on experienced locksmiths can also be beneficial.

Compatibility: Does the Secure link Wi-Fi hub allow multiple connections?

Secure models require the Secure Link WiFi hub for compatibility. It is advisable to pair each lock with its own WiFi hub to maintain a seamless connection between the hub and the lock. The lock must be within Bluetooth range of the WiFi hub, and the WiFi hub should also be within Bluetooth range of the internet router. Typically, Bluetooth operates effectively within a range of 25-30 feet without obstacles, although walls and other barriers may reduce this to an optimal range of 10-15 feet. For Vision models, compatibility is ensured with the Vision Connect WiFi hub provided with the lock, which directly connects to your internet router via an Ethernet cable.

Post Installation: How to swap Vision Lithium battery?

 

Note: Make sure to check your battery regularly to prevent features from being disabled.

You can refer to the image below on how to replace your battery properly:

 

 

Post-Installation: How to re-key a Lockly® smart lock?

Lockly uses 6-pin cylinders for their Deadbolt Editions and 5-pin cylinders for their Latch Editions. These cylinders can be replaced using rekeying kits available from various brands in the market. Many customers have successfully had professional locksmiths rekey their Lockly devices. Always consult the specific instructions provided by Lockly® for your particular model of smart lock, as re-keying procedures can differ slightly between different models and manufacturers. If you are uncertain or uncomfortable with re-keying the lock yourself, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional locksmith to ensure the process is done correctly and efficiently. See link for information on compatible rekey kit and in-house rekey kit.

Post Installation: Can I have multiple master accounts (or temporary administrative users)?
