AUSLOCK Passage Mode (Keep the Door Unlocked When Needed)
Passage Mode keeps your AUSLOCK unlocked for a period of time — perfect for shops, offices, events, move-ins, or when you’re going in and out frequently. You can usually turn it on/off anytime, and on many models you can also schedule it to run only during certain hours.
Before you enable Passage Mode
- Use the Admin/Owner account for full settings access.
- Confirm the lock time/timezone is correct (important for schedules).
- Understand the risk: during Passage Mode, the door can be opened without authentication (depends on lock/door latch).
Best practice: Use Passage Mode only when you’re expecting traffic (business hours), then turn it off outside those hours.
How to turn Passage Mode ON (basic)
- Open the AUSLOCK-supported app.
- Select your lock.
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Passage Mode.
- Switch ON.
If your model supports it, you may also see options to choose Always On or a time schedule.
How to schedule Passage Mode (business hours)
If scheduling is available on your lock/app version:
- Open Settings → Passage Mode.
- Select Timed / Scheduled (or “Period”).
- Choose the days (Mon–Sun) and set the start/end time.
- Save/confirm.
Tip: If your schedule behaves oddly, fix the lock time/timezone first — it’s the #1 cause of schedule issues.
How to turn Passage Mode OFF
- Open the lock in the app.
- Go to Settings → Passage Mode.
- Switch it OFF (or disable the schedule).
Passage Mode vs Auto-Lock (important difference)
- Auto-Lock: The lock re-locks automatically after a set delay (e.g., 5–10 seconds).
- Passage Mode: The lock stays unlocked continuously (until you turn it off or the schedule ends).
Troubleshooting
- I can’t find Passage Mode: some models don’t support it, or it appears only under Admin settings.
- Schedule isn’t working: confirm lock time/timezone and re-save the schedule.
- Door still locks sometimes: check if Auto-Lock is enabled; disable Auto-Lock if you want “always unlocked.”
- Remote updates not syncing: if you’re changing settings offsite, a Wi-Fi Gateway may be required depending on model.
