PREPARING YOUR HAVEN LOCKDOWN
Included Items:
- Charging
Plug the included charging cable (USB end) into the included power adapter. Plug the charging cable into the Charging Port (D). Allow HAVEN to fully charge 6-8 hours before use. This is a good time to set up your account at www.myhavenlock.com or on the mobile app. - Cycling the Lock
Cycling the lock a minimum of 10 times prior to installation ensures that the nylon straps inside the lock are properly stretched and calibrated. During shipment parts can settle and this cycling allows the parts to “stretch” and maximize their effectiveness. A “cycle” is simply locking and unlocking the lock via the hand press (F) and lock gate (E). Cycling the lock via the key fob or app a minimum of 5 times helps ensure the servo motor is properly engaged and ready for use.

DISCLAIMER
Use of this guide at your own risk. HavenLock Inc and its parent or partner companies are not liable for any damages to property or bodily injuries that occur during or after installation. HavenLock Inc assumes no responsibility in providing the correct tools and accessories needed for installation unless otherwise noted. Use proper protective gear when completing the steps detailed in this guide. This guide is simply suggestive and not in any way authoritative. Always use your own best judgment. Incorrect installation or lack of safety precautions can lead to serious injury or death for you or anyone around the installation area. If you are not comfortable installing HAVEN Lock, we advise you to seek out a professional skilled worker with home construction experience to assist you.
GENERAL NOTES ON HAVEN Lockdown
Bluetooth® Range
HAVEN Lockdown uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to communicate to its control devices like the Key Fob, Smartphone App, and HAVEN Hub. Bluetooth has a theoretical range of 100m (328 ft), but that is all dependent on the environment. If any object is between the controller and the lock, the effective range of the Bluetooth signal will drop. When you use Bluetooth, you should assume the effective range is 50 meters (160 ft.)
Layered Security
The HAVEN Lock is a layered security device. We advise customers to use HAVEN as a supplemental layer in their security. Relying on a single device or component will lessen the security of your school or business.
HAVEN Lock should be part of a larger security system. It is not a total solution. We suggest using video cameras, motion sensors, alarm monitoring, and vibration sensors.
Personal Security
HAVEN Lockdown only works as well as its user. Taking personal responsibility for your own safety is very important to make HAVEN Lockdown work for you. Our product can’t prevent you from sending a guest pass (eKey) to the wrong person. HAVEN Lockdown can’t prevent your phone from being stolen and cannot keep your password secure. Being proactive and responsible is the best way to protect you and your home.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
![]() |
Charge low batteries immediately. HAVEN Lockdown’s main battery lasts for 3-5 months on a single charge under normal use. Please charge your unit every two to three months. |
![]() |
Protect your password. You are responsible for your own security. HAVEN Lockdown is not a replacement for personal responsibility. Do not share your password with anyone you do not trust or know well. To be safe, do not share it with anyone. |
![]() |
Who is getting access? You can give access to your HAVEN Lockdown to other people using the eKey feature in the application. You are the admin and if you give access to the wrong person, they will be able to control your lock. |
![]() |
Your smartphone is the key and the access control panel for your HAVEN Lockdown. If someone has access to your smartphone, they could control your HAVEN and gain access to your school or business. Your smartphone security should be regarded the same as your home security; make sure to password protect your phone. |
![]() |
If your smartphone is stolen or lost, deactivate your phone at the HAVEN Lock Web Portal (www.myhavenlock.com). If your key fob is lost or stolen, reset your lock by pressing and holding the Admin Button (B) for 10 seconds (or until it flashes green) or send an email to support@havenlock.com. |
![]() |
Make sure to turn on notifications in your HAVEN Lock app as well as your smartphone settings. This will help you keep track of any changes that occur to your HAVEN Lock. You can receive alerts when someone is coming and going, but most importantly you will be notified of any admin actions that occur. |

TROUBLESHOOTING
Below are some common issues you might encounter while installing or operating your HAVEN Lockdown. If you do not see your issue below, contact us at support@havenlock.com.
HAVEN Lockdown Issues
HAVEN will not turn on or no indication of power. | Make sure you have fully charged the unit and inserted the backup batteries (backup batteries are not applicable to models produced after 2019). Press the Admin Button under the control panel hood and the LED should illuminate. If not, please contact us at support@havenlock.com and we will help you out. |
Is HAVEN Lockdown mounted inside regardless of whether the door swings out or in? | The lock is always installed on the interior side of the room being protected. It comes with a bracket kit for inward and outward swinging doors. The lock itself is universal. |
How do I turn HAVEN off? | HAVEN is designed to be “always on” so that it is ready to receive commands from bluetooth devices. After several minutes it will go into a power saving mode but will always be on. |
I need to move the lock to another door. | The lock can be uninstalled from a door and moved to a new door by simply uninstalling and reinstalling on the new door. Ensure that the lock is fully charged and paired or re-paired to accessories that are associated with the lock. |
I need to reset my HAVEN. Can I perform a factory reset? | To factory reset your HAVEN (restore original firmware and disconnectz all devices) you have to hold down both the admin (B) and reset button (R) and release the reset button while still holding the admin button for 10 seconds. This process will take about a minute or so to complete. |
Key Fob / Mobile App
I can’t pair my key fob or app / is not working | If the pairing process fails, you may need to reset everything to try again. On HAVEN, hold the Admin Button for 10 seconds until the LED flashes green. On the Key Fob, hold the Lock button for 10 seconds, and on the App edit the settings for your paired lock and delete it from your list. Try the pairing process again and repeat as necessary. |
My Key Fob no longer works and the LED does not illuminate. | If the LED on your Fob is not lighting when you press either button, you could have a dead battery. Contact us at support@havenlock.com and we can help you out. |
