AUSLOCK Care & Maintenance Tips (Keep Your Lock Performing Like New)
Smart locks live on the front line — weather, dust, heavy use. Basic maintenance prevents most issues before they start.
Weekly / monthly checks
- Wipe exterior with a soft cloth (avoid harsh chemicals).
- Check handle movement: it should return smoothly.
- Confirm the door closes cleanly without pushing/pulling.
Battery care
- Replace batteries as soon as low-battery warnings appear.
- Use quality batteries (avoid mixed brands/types).
- If the lock becomes slow/noisy, replace batteries early.
Alignment matters
- If the lock struggles to lock, your door may be out of alignment.
- Adjust the strike plate so the latch/bolt enters cleanly.
Outdoor / coastal homes
- Wipe down more frequently (salt air can build up).
- Consider a weather shield where exposed to direct rain/sun.
