Smart Lock "Jam" Error
4.5
The lock tries to turn but stops and beeps, saying it is jammed.
Symptoms
- Beeping lock
- Motor struggling
- Door won't lock
Possible Causes
- Misaligned strike plate
- Door sagging
- Weather stripping too thick
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Alignment
Ensure the deadbolt can slide into the hole without touching the sides.
2
Lift the Door
If the door has sagged, you may need to lift it slightly while locking.
3
Adjust Strike Plate
Move the metal plate on the door frame so the bolt has more clearance.
When to See a Technician
Smart locks have much less torque than a human hand; alignment must be perfect.
