Locking a Hornbill smart lock is typically done using the provided key fob, keypad, or smartphone app, depending on the specific model of the smart lock. Here’s a general guide on how to lock a Hornbill smart lock:
Using a Key Fob or Keypad:
- Ensure the Door is Closed: Before attempting to lock the smart lock, make sure the door you want to secure is fully closed and properly aligned with the door frame.
- Enter the Code (If Applicable): If your Hornbill smart lock has a keypad, enter the correct access code on the keypad. This access code is usually pre-programmed or user-defined during the setup process.
- Press the Lock Button: On the keypad or key fob, there should be a designated button or icon for locking the door. Press this button to engage the locking mechanism.
- Confirm Locking: Most smart locks provide feedback to confirm that the door is locked. This could include a visual indicator on the lock itself, an audible sound, or both. Ensure that the lock has engaged properly.
Using a Smartphone App:
- Install and Open the App: Download and install the Hornbill smart lock app on your smartphone if you haven’t already. Open the app.
- Connect to the Lock: Follow the app’s instructions to connect your smartphone to the smart lock. This may involve pairing your phone with the lock via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

- Confirm Locking: The app may provide confirmation that the door is locked, either through a visual status change or a notification on your smartphone.
- Test the Lock: Physically test the door to ensure it is locked securely. Some smart locks also have an auto-lock feature that automatically locks the door after a set period.
It’s important to note that the specific steps and features of a Hornbill smart lock may vary depending on the model and version you have.
