Note: Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Always use high-quality alkaline AA batteries for optimal performance.
General Care:
- Clean the lock exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Do not lubricate the lock cylinder with oil-based lubricants; use a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MiLocks TF-02SN, refer to the following common solutions:
- Lock Not Responding: Check battery levels. Replace batteries if low. Ensure the cable connection between the exterior and interior units is secure and not pinched.
- Keypad Not Lighting Up: This may indicate low batteries or a connection issue. Replace batteries first.
- Codes Not Working: Re-enter the code carefully. If still unsuccessful, try reprogramming the user codes according to the instructions on the battery cover. Ensure the lock is not in a "locked out" state due to multiple incorrect entries.
- Deadbolt Not Extending/Retracting Smoothly: Check for obstructions in the door frame or strike plate. Ensure the lock is properly aligned and installed. The latch mechanism might need adjustment.
- Auto-Lock Not Functioning: Verify that the auto-lock feature is enabled (refer to programming instructions). Ensure the door closes completely and the deadbolt can extend without obstruction.
