- Lock Jamming / Not Resetting: If the lock mechanism jams or fails to reset, first check for any obstructions in the door frame or latch. Ensure the installation is correct and the latch is properly aligned. If the problem continues, manual key operation may be necessary, and contacting customer service is recommended.
