Using the Smartphone App

The Hornbill Smart Lock pairs with a dedicated smartphone app, transforming your phone into a digital key. Additionally, the app provides real-time access records, allowing users to monitor who enters and exits their homes, ensuring peace of mind.

Whether you’re on vacation, need to let a neighbor in, or want to check if you locked the door on your way out, the app has you covered.

Steps lock:

1. Open the Hornbill app on your smartphone. Ensure that your phone is connected to the internet or your local network.
2. Select your Hornbill Smart Lock from the list of devices in the app.
3. You will see a ‘Lock’ button on the screen. Tap this button to lock your door. The app should confirm that the door is locked.

Locking with a Passcode

The Hornbill Smart Lock features a digital keypad that allows users to input a numeric code to gain access. Additionally, the Anti-Peep feature ensures that even if someone watches you enter the code, they won’t be able to replicate it, safeguarding against potential security breaches.

1. Approach the lock and wake up the keypad if it’s not lit. This is usually done by pressing any button on the keypad.
2. Enter your unique passcode using the keypad. Passcodes are typically 4-8 digits long.
3. After entering the passcode, press the designated ‘Lock’ button on the keypad (if your model requires this step). Some models might lock immediately after the correct passcode is entered.
4. The lock should engage, securing the door.

Locking with Fobs

Fobs are small electronic devices communicating with the Hornbill Smart Lock using radio frequency identification (RFID). Fobs are the perfect solution for those who prefer a tangible unlocking method without the traditional key hassle.

1. Ensure that your fob is programmed and paired with your Hornbill Smart Lock. This is usually done during the initial setup.
2. Approach the door with the fob in hand.
3. Press the lock button on the fob. The range for the fob to work effectively is usually within a few feet of the lock.
4. The lock will engage upon receiving the signal from the fob.

Locking with Auto-Lock feature

To lock your Hornbill Smart Lock using the auto-lock feature, follow these steps:

1. Open the Hornbill Smart app on your smartphone and log into your account.

Locking with Fingerprint

The Hornbill Smart Lock has a high-sensitivity OLED Anti-Peep Keypad and 3D fingerprint technology. This advanced scanner captures a user’s fingerprint’s unique ridges and patterns. This method provides a keyless entry and ensures that only registered fingerprints can access the property, adding an extra layer of security.

1. Make sure your fingerprint is registered in the lock’s system. This is typically done through the lock’s app or programming mode.
2. Approach the lock and place your registered fingerprint on the fingerprint reader. This is usually located on the lock’s keypad or a separate reader.
3. The lock should recognize your fingerprint and activate the locking mechanism.
4. Wait for confirmation, which might be a visual or audible signal indicating the lock is engaged.

Using Physical Key

Despite its advanced features, the Hornbill Smart Lock also has a traditional keyhole, allowing users to lock their doors the old-fashioned way. This method ensures that no matter the situation, you always have a reliable way to access your home.

Steps lock:

• Insert the key into the keyhole on the exterior part of the lock.
• Turn the key as you would with a traditional lock to engage the deadbolt and secure the door.

Whether you’re juggling groceries and can’t reach for your keys or ensuring everything is locked up before bedtime, a simple voice command to Alexa ensures your home’s security is taken care of.

1. Make sure your Hornbill Smart Lock is linked with your Amazon Alexa device.

Each method provides a quick and secure way to lock your Hornbill Smart Lock.
