Locking a Hornbill smart lock typically depends on the specific model and the method of control it uses, whether it’s a keypad, a smartphone app, or another method. Below are general instructions on how to lock a Hornbill smart lock using a keypad or a smartphone app:
Using a Keypad (if applicable):
- Ensure the Door is Closed: Make sure the door you want to lock is fully closed and properly aligned with the door frame.
- Enter the Access Code: If your Hornbill smart lock has a keypad, enter the correct access code that was previously programmed or set up during installation. This code is usually a PIN number.
- Engage the Lock: After entering the correct code, press the “Lock” button or engage the locking mechanism as specified by your smart lock’s instructions. This action should activate the locking mechanism and secure the door.
- Verify the Lock: Confirm that the lock has engaged properly by trying to open the door from the outside. The door should remain locked.
Using a Smartphone App (if applicable):
- Open the App: Launch the Hornbill smart lock app on your smartphone.
- Connect to the Lock: Follow the app’s instructions to establish a connection between your smartphone and the smart lock. This may involve pairing your phone with the lock via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
- Select Lock Function: Within the app, find and select the option to lock the door. This is usually represented by a padlock icon or a similar symbol.
- Confirm Locking: The app may provide confirmation that the door is locked. This could be a visual status change, an audible notification, or a notification on your smartphone.
- Verify the Lock: Physically test the door to ensure it is locked securely. Depending on your smart lock model, it may also have an auto-lock feature that automatically locks the door after a set period.
These are general steps for locking a Hornbill smart lock, but the exact process may vary depending on the specific model and the features it offers. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines provided with your smart lock for precise instructions on locking and unlocking your particular smart lock.
Ensure that your smart lock is properly installed and that you have set up the necessary access codes or permissions for authorized users to lock and unlock the door. Additionally, keep your smartphone and access codes secure to maintain the security of your smart lock.
