Safety Warnings

  • Protect your User Codes and Master Code.
    Restrict access to your lock’s interior assembly and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been  altered without your knowledge.

  • Proper cleaning and maintenance of your lock ensures it will continue to work  as it should. Do not apply cleaner or detergent directly to any part of the lock.

  • The HuTools meets IP54 water-resistance. It can withstand water splashes ; however, do not let water and liquids get into the lock.

  • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Long-term exposure to direct sunlight may damage the lock.

  • The temperature range of the HuTools is between -4°F to 131°F.

Troubleshooting

  1. Problem: When resetting the lock, the latch does not extend but I can hear the motor is turning.

Cause(A) : The latch and strike are misaligned, causing the latch to bind.
S olution(A): a. Adjust the position of the strike plate.
b. Make sure you reset the lock with the door opened.
Cause(B): Internal electronic components have a residual charge which the lock tries to use, and it is not adequate to allow the lock to
function when connecting the batteries.
Solution(B): Disconnect the batteries. Press and release any key on the keypad and keep the batteries disconnected for at least 5 minutes. If there is residual charge within the lock, this will consume the charge.
Cause(C): The mounting screws securing the exterior keypad and the latch bolt are over-tightened.
Solution(C): Slightly loosen the screws.

2. Problem: When reseting the lock, the latch does not extend and I can’t hear the motor turning.
Cause: The lock is not reset properly.
Solution: Repeat step 7B and 8A, make sure that the thumbturn is vertical and the deadbolt latch is retracted (unlocked) when installing and reseting.

3 . Problem: The lock does not lock and unlock electronically.
Solutions: Perform a factory reset to teach the lock the orientation of your door (Step 8).
Cause: The door handing process was not executed.
Troubleshooting(continued)

4. Problem : After installation, the thumbturn cannot rotate.
Cause(A): The lock is not installed properly.
Solution(A): Remove and re-install the whole lock, making sure that the thumbturn is vertical and the lock is in unlock position when installing. Do not insert the backup key when installing.
Cause(B): Internal electronic components have a residual charge which the lock tries to use, and it is not adequate to allow the lock to function when battery connected.
Solution(B) : Disconnect the batteries. Press and release any key on the keypad and keep the batteries disconnected for at least 5 minutes. If there is residual charge within the lock, this will consume the charge.

5. Problem: The lock only functions electronically when the backup key is in; I cannot pull the key out in the unlocked position.

Cause: The lock is not installed properly.
a. Solution:  Remove and re-install the whole lock, making sure that the thumbturn is vertical and the lock is in unlocked position when installing.
b. Do not insert the physical key before lock is completely install.

6.Problem: The keypad doesn’t respond when touched (no lights are visible and no beeping is heard) .

Cause: The lock has no power.
a.  Soluttion: Make sure the cable is properly connected.
b. Change the batteries with 4 fresh AA standard alkalin batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.

7. Problem: The batteries run low quickly.
Cause: The deadbolt and the strike plate could be misaligned, especially when there’s change in temperature  and humidity, doors can become ‘warped’. As a result, there could be strong ‘friction’ as the deadbolt tries to extend. More friction means that the motor needs to work harder to lock your door, so your batteries life  may be impacted.
Solution: Make sure your door locks and unlocks smoothly. Re-install your lock and make sure the latch and  strike are properly aligned.

8. Problem: When attempting to lock the deadbolt electronically, the latch goes in and out for a few times.
Cause: The latch and strike are misaligned.
a. Solutton:  Make sure the bolt hole on the door frame is at least 1 inch deep so the bolt fully extends.
b. Check if the door closes properly. Make sure when the dead bolt is extended, it is going into the bolt hole and not hitting the deadbolt strike or door frame.
c. Check for loose door hinges.

  1. Problem: When attempting to unlock the deadbolt electronically, the latch goes in and out for a few times.

Cause: As in the problem with locking the bolt, the bolt may be binding against the strike plate. There may be  interference, especially if the door has warped due to a change in the weather.
a. Solution:  Check if the door closes properly. Make sure when the deadbolt is extended, it is going into the  bolt hole and not hitting the deadbolt strike or door frame.
b. Check for loose door hinges

10 . Problem: I received 5 rapid beeps when programming.

a. Cause: Time-out
b. Wrong entry
a. Solution: Complete each step within 5 seconds.
b. Change the default master code before programming.
c. Enter a new code in correct format and within 4 to 10 digits.

11. Problem: I forgot my Master Code.

Solution: Perform a factory reset. Once the reset is completed, all codes
and settings will be erased and the master code will return to the default value ( 12345678) .

12. Problem: I lost all the preset codes after door handing.
Cause: Door handing is the same as factory reset. You lock has restored to factory default.
Soluttion: Re-program your codes.
