Additional Information

Battery Information

The lock requires four ‘AAA’ alkaline batteries which are housed in the internal handle. The lock has a low battery indicator which, when unlocking the door, will sound a continuous beep followed by a single beep. New batteries should be installed as soon as possible after receiving any low battery indication.

Expected battery life is approximately 365 days with an estimate of 3000 uses per 365 days.

However, it is recommended not to continue use of the backup longer than necessary; ensure that the batteries in the lock are replaced immediately. Please keep the emergency backup battery pack in an accessible area at all times. In the event of a power failure, the battery pack will be needed to unlock the lock.
