Common Problems of Smart Locks Found in the After-sales Service

1. Severe battery drain of smart locks

It is mainly for users who choose dry batteries. The service life of four dry batteries is 6-8 months for automatic locks, and about 8-12 months for semi-automatic locks (test data of equipment, there may be errors in actual use). If the battery runs out in a week, it must be noted that there may be a fault in the smart lock circuit, which is usually caused by short circuit.
