Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your IU-20 Code Door Lock.
- Battery Replacement: The lock requires 4 AA alkaline batteries. Replace them when the low battery warning is indicated (usually a specific light pattern or sound). Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
- Emergency Power: In case of complete battery depletion, you can use a Type-C USB cable (not included) to provide temporary power for emergency access. Connect the cable to the Type-C port on the exterior assembly.
- Cleaning: Clean the keypad and lock body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.
- Lubrication: The mechanical parts of the lock are designed for long-term use and generally do not require lubrication. If the key mechanism feels stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole.
