4.1. Battery Installation
The lock requires two AA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment cover, insert the batteries according to the polarity markings, and close the cover securely.
4.2. Choosing an Installation Method
The eLinksmart Smart Cabinet Lock F5 supports two installation methods: adhesive mounting or screw mounting. Choose the method best suited for your furniture and desired security level.
- Adhesive Mounting: Ideal for quick, drill-free installation. Ensures no damage to furniture.
- Screw Mounting: Provides a more permanent and robust installation.
4.3. Installation Steps
- Clean the interior surface of the cabinet or drawer where the lock will be installed. Ensure it is dry and free of dust or grease.
- Determine the optimal position for the lock unit and the latch plate. The lock unit should be mounted on the inside of the cabinet frame or drawer body, and the latch plate on the moving door or drawer front.
- For Adhesive Mounting: Peel the backing from the 3M adhesive pads and firmly press the lock unit and latch plate into their designated positions. Hold for several seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
- For Screw Mounting: Mark the screw holes for both the lock unit and the latch plate. Drill pilot holes if necessary, then secure both components with the provided screws.
- Test the lock mechanism by closing the cabinet/drawer and attempting to unlock it using an RFID card or the app.
5. Operating Instructions
The eLinksmart Smart Cabinet Lock F5 offers four convenient ways to unlock:

- RFID card not unlocking: Ensure the card is properly registered with the lock via the app. Tap the card firmly against the sensing area.
- App connection issues: Verify your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled and the lock is within range. Restart the app or re-pair the device if problems persist.
- Automatic unlock on low battery: This is a safety feature. Replace batteries immediately when this occurs.
