What Should I Do If An Electronic Lock Fails?

An electronic lock failing can cause you all sorts of problems. It can prevent your safe from locking securely, or it can prevent the door from locking as you leave your home. Like with a traditional lock, you will be left trying to figure out how to quickly solve the problem so you can go about your day as normal.

Here are a few things you can do if your electronic lock fails.

  • Check the Battery Life

There are many electronic or smart locks that run on batteries. If your lock is not working in the way you expect it to, it could be that the battery is low or dead. So, before calling out a locksmith in a panic, check to see if your battery is dying or dead.

  • Check the Battery Amp

If the electronic lock is not working and the battery is fairly new, you will want to check the amp on the battery. It is possible that you are using a battery that does not have a sufficient amp to work with your electronic lock. If this is the case, you may need to replace the battery with another.

  • Go the Traditional Route

When purchasing their electronic locks, some people have bought a lock that works alongside a traditional keyhole. If this is the case for you then you can relax a little. Start by using your traditional lock then call out a locksmith at your leisure. Having the option to go traditional means you have more time to solve the electronic issue.

  • Call the Locksmith

If it is not the battery then you may have a faulty lock, or part of the lock inside may have worn out. Either way, your locksmith is in the best position to understand what the problem is and put it right quickly and professionally.

At Quickly Locksmith in Miami, we have a team that will solve your problems with speed and efficiency. Contact Quickly Locksmith to receive help with your electronic locks, or save our number (305 984-9922) on your phone for any emergencies.

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services In Miami FL:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice.

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    When a Miami locksmith completes their official application process, they are issued with a Locksmith ID car. Locksmiths in Miami are required to display this card at all times when performing any services, regardless of the location.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you’re working with the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect someone to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This ensures we can get you back into your home or car as soon as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Your certified Miami locksmith’s work comes with a complete warranty for your locks, your property (doors/ hallways, etc.), and of course your well-being. If anything happens you share no liability, and your locks & security systems are 100% insured.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    A locksmith that has the right tools and years of experience can open almost any lock. If that’s not an option, the lock can always be replaced. Either way, your home and valuables will be safe and secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    When you are locked out of your car, the last thing you want to do is arrange a ride to a locksmith shop. The Quickly Locksmith Miami mobile unit will not only meet you at your location but also help you with a replacement car key on the spot.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key has been lost or is damaged, a Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to identify the depth of grooves in a lock’s key code. This information can then be used to create a new key.
