If your Ultion lock key is stuck in the lock and is only half-turned, try these solutions:

  • Try turning the key in the opposite direction (clockwise). This should release whatever was stopping it from turning further. If this doesn’t work, try pulling out on both sides of the door at once to remove any pressure being applied by other objects or people who may be holding onto them.
  • Check for debris: Inspect the lock and key for any visible debris or damage that may obstruct the key from turning. If you notice any debris, carefully remove it with tweezers or a toothpick.
  • Use lubrication: Apply a graphite or silicone-based lubricant to the key and insert it into the lock to distribute the lubricant. This can help loosen up the lock mechanism and make it easier to turn the key.
  • Check alignment: Verify that the lock and key are properly aligned. Misaligned locks can cause the key to get stuck in the lock halfway turned. Gently wiggle the key while turning it to see if the lock mechanism will budge.
  • Use the correct key: Make sure you use the lock’s key. Using the wrong key can damage the lock and make turning difficult.
  • Check for damage: Inspect the lock for any signs of damage, such as bent or broken pins, damaged keyway, or other issues. If you notice any damage, it may be necessary to call a locksmith to repair or replace the lock.
  • Seek professional help: If you have tried the above steps and the lock is still not turning, it may be necessary to seek professional help from a locksmith. A professional locksmith will have the expertise and tools to diagnose and repair the problem, ensuring your lock works properly.

If your Ultion smart lock is showing as “offline” on the app, try these troubleshooting steps:

  • Check the Wi-Fi network: Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is working properly and the lock is connected to the Wi-Fi network. There are no issues with the network that may be causing the lock to go offline.
