Schlage Connect is a great smart electronic door lock that allows you to lock and unlock your door with the help of an app. However, like any technology, some issues may arise when using it.

This article will outline some common problems users have encountered with Schlage Connect and offer solutions for how to fix them.

Schlage Connect is not pairing.

You may be experiencing issues with your Schlage Connect lock. If the lock is not pairing, please do the following:

• Ensure your smartphone app is updated by checking for App Store or Google Play Store updates.
• If you’re using an iOS device, try changing the Bluetooth settings from Airplane Mode off and back on again. This will reset all settings for Bluetooth connections.
• If the Schlage Connect lock and app are paired correctly, you should see an orange checkmark on the top right of your lock’s entry in the app.
• If this is not present, try restarting both devices by pressing and holding down their power buttons until they turn off completely. Please wait 10 seconds before turning them back on again and retrying pairing.

Schlage Connect is not connecting WIFI.

If you’re having trouble connecting the lock to your Wi-Fi router and smartphone, check out these tips for troubleshooting:

• You may be trying to connect a Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt or Touchscreen Electronic Deadbolt to a network that’s not supported. The only supported networks with PSK or RADIUS authentication methods are 2.4GHz WPA2/AES (or equivalent).
• Your lock may be experiencing connectivity problems due to poor signal strength or interference from other devices on the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). Try moving the lock closer to your router or changing its location farther away from other wireless devices, such as cordless phones, garage door openers, and microwaves.
• Make sure that the lock’s firmware is up-to-date. You can do this by following these instructions: Open the app on your phone or tablet and tap “SETTINGS,” Next, tap “Check for Updates” in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Check that your smartphone is connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network, then open the Smart Home app. You should now see an option called “Add Device” in the bottom corner of this screen; tap it to continue adding a new device.
• Check that your Wi-Fi router and password are correct. If not, change them.
• Restart both connected devices—the smart home app or the Schlage Connect lock—and then re-enter your Wi-Fi information. This should help get everything synced up properly.

The Schlage Connect lock isn’t working properly.

If your Schlage door lock isn’t working properly and doesn’t open or close when you try to activate it manually, there are a few things you can check.

• Make sure your Wi-Fi network is functional by testing another device. If the device has trouble connecting, the problem lies somewhere between your router and your smart hub (such as an extender).
• Before troubleshooting further, you should ensure that any other devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network can connect without problems.
• Check the batteries. If you have any of the following issues after replacing the batteries, it may be time to replace them. If your Schlage Connect locks are still not working after the battery change, please check this article: Schlage Lock Not Working After Battery Change, What To Do?

If your Schlage Connect lock isn’t connecting to the app, there are a few things you can do:

• Ensure the Schlage Connect lock and your phone are on and fully charged, and you have a strong Wi-Fi signal in your home. The Schlage Connect lock uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), so if there are walls between you and your door, it may not work either.

• Ensure the app is updated (you can check for updates in the device settings). You can also check for Schlage updates in the app’s menu.
• Check that Bluetooth is turned on and that your phone has a strong signal (the best way to do this is by trying another app like Spotify or Google Maps).
• Make sure the lock is within range of your Wi-Fi network. If you have multiple locks in a house, ensure they’re all on the same network.
• Make sure that both your smartphone and computer are connected to the internet. This will ensure your device can communicate with our servers and receive software updates for Schlage Connect as needed.
