Frequently Asked Questions
•How often should I replace the batteries in my Schlage lock?
Battery life varies, but generally replace batteries every 6-12 months, or sooner in cold weather. Monitor battery levels in the app and replace when they drop below 25%.
•What if the motor stall error persists after replacing the batteries?
Check door alignment, remove obstructions, update firmware, and check for wireless interference. If the issue remains, contact Schlage support or a qualified locksmith.
•Is it safe to use a non-Schlage power adapter with the C-wire?
Only use a power adapter that meets Schlage's specifications (voltage, current, and polarity). Using an incorrect adapter can damage the lock or create a safety hazard.
