Keyless Entry Troubleshooting
Change the Batteries
When you get your keyless entry installed, ask the locksmith about how to change the batteries. When it comes to your system not working, it is usually due to it needing new batteries. Thankfully, your system should only need to have its batteries replaced every three to five years and will usually give you fair warning when its batteries are starting to get low; you don’t have to worry about coming home unexpectedly to a dead system. If your keyless entry system is still saying that the batteries need to be replaced even though you have just replaced them, call your local locksmith in Spring. There may be another issue with your system that will need to be addressed beyond just replacing the batteries.
Check The Internet Connection
If changing the batteries isn’t the issue when you have a dead lock, then your problems may be the result of a poor internet connection. The ability to change the codes remotely comes from the locks’ WiFi connection. Usually, if there is a lost connection, you don’t have to worry about being locked out. However, check with the locksmith who is installing your system or the manufacturer’s manual to find out what the default response of your system is to lost WiFi connection. If you continually are losing connectivity, check your internet to make sure you aren’t having general internet or router issues. If that isn’t the problem, then call your local locksmith to have them check the lock itself.
