Changing Batteries-Keyless Bedroom Locks

Instructions on how to change the batteries on your bedroom lock

Alcove Signstek Keypad Bedroom Lock:
  • From time to time, your keyless bedroom lock may need its batteries replaced. See the steps here for changing batteries.

Low battery warning: The keyless bedroom lock has a low battery warning when unlocking the door, a continuous beep will sound followed by a single beep. New batteries should be installed within approx. two weeks. 

  • The lock requires 4x 'AAA' alkaline batteries. To change batteries, loosen the screws on the cover of the inside knob ( interior bedroom side). This exposes the battery box. Remove the battery box carefully, as the battery box is connected to the power cable which can be damaged. Replace the batteries and return the battery box to the correct position. Fasten screws on the rear plate to reinstall and complete the replacement. 
  • Emergency Power Pack: Has your keyless bedroom lock battery died? Inside each Alcove home with these locks installed are emergency power packs in case the battery dies. These packs are kept within the original lock packaging inside the home, typically within a kitchen pantry or cabinet. Insert the Emergency power pack into the jack on the bottom of the keyless bedroom lock (See 'P' indicated in the diagram below). This will allow enough power to open the bedroom door with your code, and then replace the batteries. Emergency power packs should be returned to their original location after use.
