A smart lock that won't respond can leave you stuck outside, or with a door you can't lock. The good news is that most faults can be fixed. Many come down to something simple, like batteries, a code that's been overwritten or a door that's dropped out of line.
We repair and programme home smart locks such as Yale touchscreen keypad lever locks, and PIN-code access control keypads on commercial sites, like the Rosslare keypads used on gate posts. We check both the mechanical and the electronic side, because either one can cause the same symptoms.
Locked out right now behind a smart lock that won't open? Call our lockout service first. Smart and electronic locks are handled as secure-lock lockouts, and we always try non-destructive entry first.
Finding the Real Cause
Plenty of smart lock faults look electronic but turn out to be physical. If the door has dropped or the strike plate has shifted, the bolt rubs, the motor strains and the batteries go flat far too quickly. New batteries alone only buy you a few weeks.
So we start with the door. We check how it sits in the frame, whether the bolt runs freely and whether the lock body is worn. Then we look at the electronics: the keypad, the batteries and contacts, the codes and any app connection.
If something is worn out, we'll tell you honestly whether repair or a smart lock replacement makes more sense. For ordinary keyed locks that stick or won't turn, our lock repair service has you covered.
Keypad and digital lock repairs for apartments, rentals and commercial buildings.Codes, Users and Resets
A lot of our smart lock work is programming rather than repair. We add and remove user codes when tenants move out, when Airbnb or rental guests change over, or when staff join or leave. We can also reset a lock to factory settings and set a new master code if the old one has been lost.
For businesses, we service and programme access control keypads on gates and doors. That includes changing codes so former staff or contractors can no longer get in.
There's a flat NZ$20 call-out fee to come out and look at the fault. Any repair is quoted on site and agreed before we start. Work outside normal hours costs a bit more, and we'll tell you up front.
Before You Call, and After We Leave
Before you call, try a fresh set of good-quality batteries and check the door closes without a push. If that doesn't fix it, note any lights or beeps the lock makes, as they help us find the fault faster.
Before we leave, we test every code, the key override and the lock with the door shut. We also show you how to add and remove users yourself, so you don't need us every time a tenant changes. If we replace the lock, the new installation comes with our 90-day workmanship warranty at no extra cost.

Smart Lock Repair & Sync FAQs
Common questions about electronic hardware repair.
How do I know if my smart lock is broken or just out of batteries?
Most smart locks flash a light or beep when the batteries are low. Try a fresh set of good-quality batteries first. If the lock still doesn't respond, or the batteries keep going flat quickly, the motor, wiring or door alignment may need attention.
Can you fix a smart lock that keeps jamming?
Yes. Jamming is usually mechanical rather than electronic, caused by a strike plate or door that has moved out of line. We realign the door and strike so the bolt runs freely and the motor isn't straining.
Are smart lock repairs more expensive than standard hardware?
It depends on the fault. Alignment and adjustment work is much the same as on a standard lock. If an electronic part has failed, we'll explain whether repair or replacement is better value and quote before we start.
Can you add or remove codes for tenants, guests or staff?
Yes. We add and remove user codes, set up new master codes, and reset locks to factory settings when the original code has been lost. We also show you how to manage codes yourself.
Do you work on access control keypads?
Yes. We service and programme PIN-code access control keypads on gates and commercial doors, so site access keeps working, including changing codes when staff or contractors leave.
