Discover troubleshooting tips to resolve issues preventing your August Smart Lock from closing fully. Ensure secure, seamless locking with our comprehensive guide.

Why won't August Smart Lock close fully

 

Potential Reasons Why August Smart Lock Won't Close Fully

 

  • Misalignment of the Deadbolt: If the deadbolt is not properly aligned with the strike plate, the lock may not close fully. This could be due to the door sagging over time or the strike plate shifting.
  •  

  • Calibration Issues: The lock may need recalibration if it's not closing fully. This often happens after replacing or moving the lock.
  •  

  • Battery Problems: Low or dead batteries can reduce the power of the lock mechanism, preventing it from closing fully.
  •  

  • Obstructions: There could be physical obstructions in the path of the deadbolt, such as debris or a misaligned door, that prevent it from closing.
  •  

  • Software Malfunctions: Occasional software issues or glitches could affect the functioning of the lock.

 

How to Fix the Problem

 

  • Realign the Deadbolt and Strike Plate: Check to see if the deadbolt aligns with the strike plate. Adjust the strike plate if necessary by loosening the screws, repositioning it, and tightening the screws again.
  •  

  • Recalibrate the Lock: To recalibrate, remove the August lock from the app and install it again following the manufacturer's instructions. This often resolves calibration issues.
  •  

  • Replace or Recharge Batteries: Check the battery level. Replace with new batteries or recharge if your model supports rechargeable batteries. This ensures the lock has enough power to operate fully.
  •  

  • Remove Obstructions: Inspect the door and the area around the deadbolt to ensure there are no obstacles. Clean around the lock and door frame to remove any debris.
  •  

  • Update or Reinstall Software: Ensure your lock's software is up-to-date. Visit the manufacturer's website or check the app for updates. Reinstall the app if problems persist.

 

Additional Tips

 

  • Regular Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain your lock to prevent misalignments and other issues. Consider lubricating the lock mechanism with graphite powder if needed.
  •  

  • Consult Professional Help: If the problem persists despite all attempts, consider contacting customer support or a professional locksmith for assistance.
