Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: The Level Lock+ uses a CR2 battery. When the battery level is low, you will receive notifications through the Level Home app. Replace the battery promptly to ensure continuous operation.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the lock with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to the deadbolt mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lock not responding to app/key fob | Low battery, Bluetooth connectivity issue, app not updated. | Replace CR2 battery. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and you are within range. Update the Level Home app. Restart your phone. |
| Physical key is difficult to turn or stuck | Misalignment of lock components, debris in keyway, lack of lubrication. | Ensure the lock components are correctly aligned. Clean the keyway. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the keyway and bolt mechanism. If the issue persists, check for door frame or deadbolt alignment issues. |
| Apple Home Keys not working consistently | Device compatibility, NFC interference, software glitch. | Verify your iPhone/Apple Watch meets the minimum requirements. Ensure NFC is enabled. Restart your device. Re-add the lock to Apple HomeKit if necessary. |
| Lock reports "jammed" | Door or frame misalignment, obstruction, bolt not fully extended/retracted. | Check if the door closes properly and the deadbolt can extend fully into the strike plate without obstruction. Adjust the strike plate or door frame if needed. |
