Remove and reinstall if needed.
The batteries are entirely dead and/or were not
replaced in a timely manner.
Replace the batteries

I entered the password wrong (at
least 3x).
If a password has been entered wrong 3x in a
row, regardless of the entry method, the lock
will go into a 15-minute period of inactivity
where it cannot be used. This is a security
feature designed to prevent unwanted parties
from using the lock.
Wait 15 min. and try again.
Why is does the keypad make double
beep sounds?
