Installation
The Kohree RV Door Lock is designed for easy installation, typically taking about 10 minutes. Ensure your RV door meets the specified dimensions (hole cutout 2.75'' x 3.75'', door thickness 1.25" to 1.5").
Installation Steps:
- Remove Old Lock: Carefully remove your existing RV door lock.
- Prepare Door Opening: Ensure the door's hole cutout and thickness match the specifications.
- Install Latch Mechanism: Insert the new latch mechanism into the door edge and secure it with the provided screws.
- Connect Wiring: Carefully connect the wiring harness from the exterior handle to the interior handle. Ensure connections are secure and wires are tucked away to prevent pinching.
- Mount Exterior Handle: Position the exterior handle assembly, ensuring the spindle aligns with the latch mechanism.
- Mount Interior Handle: Attach the interior handle assembly, aligning it with the exterior handle and securing it with the appropriate screws. Do not overtighten.
- Install Strike Plates: Replace the old strike plate on the door jamb with the new one included in the package. If the door is hard to shut or does not close tightly, adjust the strike plate on the jamb side of the door.
- Insert Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the interior handle and insert 4x AA batteries (not included). Ensure correct polarity.
- Test Operation: Test the lock's functionality using the mechanical key, keypad, and app (after setup).

Keypad Code Programming:
You can program a new keypad code directly on the lock. Ensure the lock is in an unlocked state before changing the password.

Operating Instructions
The Kohree RV Door Lock offers three convenient ways to lock and unlock your RV door:
1. Keypad Entry:
- To Unlock: Enter your programmed access code on the backlit keypad, then press the "LOCK" button. The lock will retract, allowing you to open the door.
- To Lock: Simply press the "LOCK" button on the keypad. The deadbolt will extend, securing the door.
2. Mechanical Keys:
- To Unlock/Lock: Insert one of the provided mechanical keys into the keyhole and turn it to engage or disengage the lock.
- Important: Always keep mechanical keys somewhere outside your trailer, such as in your vehicle or with a trusted friend, so they are available if you forget your keypad code or if the batteries run out.
3. Smartphone App Control:
Once paired via Bluetooth, the Kohree RV Lock app allows you to control your lock within a 20-meter range.
- To Unlock/Lock: Open the Kohree RV Lock app on your smartphone and tap the appropriate button to lock or unlock the door.
- Customization: The app allows you to change your private password, set mute/vibrate modes for lock operations, and manage other settings.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: The lock's smooth surface is dust-proof and easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Water Resistance: The lock features an IPX3 waterproof rating, protecting it from spraying water. While durable, avoid submerging the lock or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
- Battery Replacement: The lock operates on 4x AA batteries. When the batteries are low, the lock may provide an audible or visual indicator. Replace all four batteries simultaneously with new alkaline batteries for optimal performance.
- Mechanical Key Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole to ensure smooth operation of the mechanical lock cylinder.

Troubleshooting
- Keypad Not Responding:
- Check battery levels and replace if necessary.
- Ensure the lock is not in a "silent" mode if using the app.
- Forgot Keypad Code:
- Use the mechanical keys to unlock the door.
- To reset the keypad code, locate the "code reset" button on the back handle (interior side). Press and hold this button until you hear a long beep (approximately 3 seconds). This will reset all settings, including the keypad code, to default. You will then need to reprogram your desired code.
- Door Hard to Close or Latch:
- Adjust the strike plate on the door jamb. Loosen the screws slightly, reposition the plate for better alignment with the latch, and then re-tighten.
- Bluetooth App Connection Issues:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
- Make sure you are within the 20-meter operating range of the lock.
- Restart the app or your phone.
- If issues persist, try unpairing and re-pairing the lock within the app settings.
