Troubleshooting

Replace the Lithium CR2 battery. Ensure the battery is correctly installed and the alarm is activated. Check the sensitivity settings if applicable.

Lock is difficult to open or close.

Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt. Ensure the key is fully inserted before turning.
