To issue remote access codes to guests, please use our Lockly app. Go to Access Management in the app and then Add a New User. Select Guests and follow the onscreen instructions. You will send your guests either an eKey (if you have Lockly Secure or Secure Plus) or the actual access code (if you have Lockly Secure Pro). Guests will be given instructions to download the Lockly app. eKeys must be activated by your guest through the app within 72 hours of issue for security reasons. Guests who are issued eKeys will receive the actual access code after activation and also have the ability open the Lockly using their app for the duration of their stay.

You may also issue Offline Access Codes (OACs) for guests who do not have a smartphone or do not wish to download an app. You can issue an OAC through Access Management, then the Offline Access Code Users tab, and then choosing Add Offline Access Code. Follow the onscreen instructions to retrieve an OAC. Offline Access Codes can only be revoked by resetting the Lock or re-pairing it with your phone.

Lockly currently offers 2 different models in 2 different styles: The Secure and the Secure Plus, in Deadbolt style and Latch style. he Deadbolt style is a smart lock deadbolt only, to be used with your own door knob/handle. The Latch style is a smart lock with a handle attached. Both styles can be installed on left or right swing opening doors. The difference between the Secure and the Secure Plus is that the Secure Plus has a capacitive fingerprint reader that can store up to 99 fingerprints.

It is very important that you keep the Initial Code that was provided to you in your box. If your Initial Code is lost, you won’t be able to reset it as the device has already been paired with an owner.

Please contact Lockly™ support if you have lost your Initial Code. Please provide your order number and the serial number of your lock (located on top of the battery compartment).

If you are looking to change your master access code, you can go into the App -> Lock Settings -> Change Passcode. (Please be by the lock within Bluetooth distance in order for this to work.)

eKeys being sent out will expire within 72 hours for security purposes. We want to ensure these codes are claimed as soon as possible. It is best practice to have the eKey sent to your guests within 72 hours of their arrival and not sooner.

If you are using a PGD728 or PGD628 Series, you may adjust the time of auto-lock feature. Go to the Smart Lock Settings and you can change the auto-lock feature up to 300 seconds.

The lock is compatible for both left and right swing doors. Upon installing the lock, perform the following steps:

Checking your installation – First off, please make sure your torque blade is installed vertically.

You should be able to hold down the OK button (big circle button on the bottom of the screen) for 3-5 seconds and the numbers should switch from shuffled to sequential order. The numbers will show 123 456 789 etc. Holding it down again for 3-5 seconds to go back to PIN Genie mode where the numbers are shuffled. To turn on PIN Crazy, make sure the PIN Crazy switch is switched on in the inside of the lock. Then you can activate PIN Crazy by going into the app and click Lock Settings – PIN Crazy. In PIN Crazy mode, the numbers will shuffle every time a digit is entered not when the sequence of the whole code is entered (PIN Genie Mode).

At this current time, only one master admin account can be created. This is for security measures. However, we have recently added the functionality to give authorization for a “sub-admin” when creating a Guest Access Code or E-Key. So when you are in the app, select Access, and then Access Codes, and then Guest access code and after choosing the validity period you will be able to select Permissions for that user and you can designate them as a Sub-Admin. Keep in mind that if you allow your Sub-Admin to give Offline Access Codes you will no longer be able to share or grant Offline Access Codes. Only 1 user at a time is able to grant Offline Access Codes.

1 . Check the cable connector in your lock and make sure that there are no bent pins, which may have happened during installation, and that it is fully inserted into the socket.

2 . If the pins are not bent, try a new fresh set of AA batteries.

If a door is unlocked from the inside, it will record the history, however, Lockly will require a Bluetooth connection to a registered smartphone in order to update the log.

Lockly can currently only send notifications for the door being opened or closed with the installation and purchase of the wi-fi hub and door sensor (available with the Lockly Secure Link Wi-Fi Hub or with the Lockly Secure Pro).

Your Lockly must be in Secure / Do Not Disturb mode. There is a toggle switch on the inside of the lock that turns off and on the exterior Screen.

Lockly will be releasing the Lockly Secure Pro which will have remote access (pre-order now) and also a Wi-Fi hub that will make give the Lockly Secure and Lockly Secure Plus remote access (for sale in April).

Lockly™ Secure Pro (or any of our Smart Locks with the addition of the Lockly™ Secure Link Wi-Fi Hub) can be programmed to work with the voice-activated software of Amazon Alexa and Google Home. We are currently working on the addition of Apple’s Siri/HomeKit and hope to integrate capability in the future.

Our Secure Link WiFi Hub can connect with any Lockly. If you find that you are having any trouble with your Secure Link WiFi Hub, try some of the following suggestions:

1. Reboot your lock – On the front of the lock (the side with the display on the outside of the door), you will find two silver balls underneath the lock. Between those two silver balls, there is a small hole with a reboot button in the middle. Use your pin/paper clip to press and hold the button for 3 seconds. After you let go of the button, keep an eye on the display, it should begin the reboot process. Once the display goes back to normal, see if the issue persists.

2. Make sure you have the latest version of everything on your phone – Check your OS and Lockly App to make sure everything is fully updated. Also go into your Lockly Settings to make sure that your firmware is completely up to date. After everything is up to date, reboot your lock to see if it resolves the issue.

3. Please make sure that your phone and WiFi hub are connected to the same 2.4 GHz network.

4. When connecting your hub to the WiFi network, press and hold the button on your WiFi hub an additional 5 seconds to see if you get the quick red light blinking. We find that some customers are trying to connect when the light is blinking slowly which can cause network errors.

5. Make sure that you are only connected to each Lockly with only 1 admin account – If you are connected in multiple accounts, delete your door sensor and WiFi hub from all devices and accounts, and then delete your lock from those devices and accounts as well. Once you have done this, reinstall on only 1 account and see if the issue is resolved.

6. Make sure that you and your WiFi hub are connected within 10 feet of the Lockly.

7. Make sure you are using the Lockly App and not Pin Genie

8. Make sure that your WiFi hub is in a spot with strong WiFi signal. You can try moving your router closer to the WiFi hub to see if it resolves the issue.
