Usage tips

We recommend that for the first weeks of using Lockitron that you note if the Lockitron only works intermittently or consistently. It is possible that ambient radio interference will inhibit your Lockitron despite it working on your initial installa-tion. If this is the case, move the USB remote closer to the door in order to insure more reliable transmission.

A quick and simple way to test the range of the Lockitron is by plugging the USB remote into a laptop computer with a charged battery. You may then manually trigger your Lockitron, testing a variety of ranges from the door to establish how close you must install your Lockitron base station.

If your Lockitron has a poor range due to interference and you don’t have an ethernet jack close to your door but do have a pre-existing WiFi network, we recommend that you purchase a WiFi-to-Ethernet bridge (for example, the Apple AirPort Express). Please ensure to rigorously secure your WiFi network if you choose this route.

If you have questions about using your Lockitron with a WiFi-to-Ethernet bridge, simply email support@lockitron.com or call us at (872) 222-8717.

If the Lockitron mini-server is installed under a desk or in a high-traffic zone there exists a greater chance of accidental unplugging. If the Lockitron is either un-plugged from the wall or if its remote is unplugged, it will no longer function. We recommend that you install Lockitron in a place where it is more difficult to unplug accidentally, and in the case that it is visible to family members and guests, add a note to the device that it should remain plugged in at all times.

Troubleshooting

Below we have listed some of the most common problems that you might experi-ence with Lockitron. For the most up-to-date information, visit the support page in your dashboard at https://lockitron.com/dashboard/support . Otherwise, if you need additional assistance, please email us at support@lockitron.com

If your Lockitron isn’t consistently responding to your commands, the first step in diagnosing it is by using the “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons on the “Locks” tab. Click on one of the buttons to test the Lockitron - if the button flashes red after you click on it, then your Lockitron is offline.

The most likely cause for this is that the Lockitron has been unplugged from a power source or its internet source. Check to see that the Lockitron is plugged in by seeing if at least of the lights on the top of the server unit is on or flashing and that one or both of the lights next to the ethernet jack are flashing.

If the Lockitron is fully powered up and plugged into a working internet connec-tion, yet the button still flashes red after clicking the “Lock” or “Unlock” buttons, then your should try unplugging the server from power briefly, then plugging it back in. Wait at least one minute, then repeat the above steps. If after all of this Lockitron still isn’t working for you, we recommend that you contact us and we can check it out from our end!

My buttons flash green, but it still doesn’t work!

If your “Lock” and “Unlock” buttons in the control panel flash green, but your Lockitron still does not respond, then your Lockitron base station has been placed too far away from your door. In cases where your door is metal or the door lock is in an area of heavy interference - i.e. next to radio towers or ball parks - you might have to place the transmitter that is plugged into the server unit immediately across the door frame in order to ensure reliable transmission.

If you place too many unsuccessful lock or unlock commands in quick succes-sion, it is possible that your wireless knob/handle will become unpaired from your Lockitron server unit. If this is the case, then you will need to remove the battery cover on the wireless backplate and press the “S” button and then press the lock button on the plugged in USB remote (note that the Lockitron unit must be on for the pair to complete). On successful pairing you should hear a beep.

If you have placed the transmitter right next to the Lockitron knob/handle and it still doesn’t function then please contact us.

Problems with your Lockitron?

Lockitron isn’t locking or unlocking when sent a command

Troubleshooting

There is a small switch located under the battery cover that enables the Lockitron re-lock functionality. If toggled to position “1”, your lock will automatically re-lock 10 seconds after unlocking.

The current Lockitron Touch web app is known to only be compatible with the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 running iOS 4+. Thus, we recommend that for maxi-mum compatibility you use the basic Lockitron Mobile app available at https://m.lockitron.com.

We also recommend that you check the Lockitron Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/lockitron) and Lockitron website often for updates as of the writing of this manual native applications for the iPhone and Android platforms are under development.

How do I get Lockitron to automatically re-lock?

Lockitron Touch isn’t working

The Lockitron should normally beep once when unlocking and twice when lock-ing.

If your Lockitron beeps many times (ten), then this indicates that the 4 AA bat-teries on the door have started to run low and should be replaced as soon as possible. Although the Lockitron may still continue to function for several cycles, you should address the issue quickly so as not to be locked out. High quality AA batteries should last for 10,000-18,000 lock and unlock cycles in warm climates.

If the interior of the wireless door knob or handle is exposed to colder than normal room temperatures (68-72 fahrenheit), then this will likely decrease the number of cycles.

Alternatively, if your Lockitron beeps several times after attempting to lock or unlock and is not functioning properly, then it is likely that it is jamming. Jamming can be caused by a poorly aligned door or installation, usually where the door knob or handle meets the opposing strike plate. In this case, tweak the position of your Lockitron door knob or handle and watch closely when sending a lock command to see where it might be jamming.

If you have installed Lockitron but maintained your current cylinder head, it is possible that it might need to be lubricated. We do not recommend WD-40 as this will only temporarily resolve the problem. Instead, look for lubricants such as Tri-Flow.

Lockitron is beeping more than usual...

Troubleshooting

There are several features that as of the writing of this manual are considered to be in a “beta” testing phase, and thus might not function as fully expected. These include a free logging functionality that is available on the “Analytics” page and will list the three most recent logs from your door lock.

Another feature is our text message access that is available on the “Settings” page for a small monthly fee. This allows you to unlock or lock your door from any text message enabled phone as well as issue and revoke keys.
