How do I change the batteries in the NterNow lock?

Be prepared! Carry a small Phillips head screwdriver (we provide one in the NterNow Pack), the key to the lock, a black sharpie, 4 fresh AA copper top batteries and your cell phone.
Remove the outside of the battery compartment with the small screwdriver and insert new batteries.
Use only AA copper top batteries, purchased from a store that turns over their supply often. No-name batteries from a convenience store will fail quickly.
Last step, call the Call Center and resync the lock – every time the batteries are changed or when the lock is moved to a new house.

Why don’t the batteries last longer?

We wish batteries would last forever! The lock will tell you with a trill upwards and then downwards that the batteries are running low. Here are some best practices to ensure batteries last long and visitors are not disappointed:

Always use copper top batteries – Consumer Reports agrees with us that they last the longest. The average installation with copper tops lasts 4-6 months or 60 opens. In a perfect environment, like on our test bench, we’ve had batteries work for 1600 opens. We ran out of energy before they did!
Always buy your AA batteries from a store that sells a lot of batteries so they are fresh. Convenience and grocery store batteries are seldom fresh.
Proactively change your batteries at spring and fall time..
Avoid propping open the door for hours– this runs down the batteries.
If the lock’s knob is hard to turn or makes a grinding noise upon opening, it will run out of batteries quickly due to a poor installation. The parts are not meshing correctly so take the lock off the door and reinstall it. By the way, hanging a heavy key-lockbox from the NterNow knob will cause this to happen.
