I was locked out due to dead batteries, called a locksmith who drilled out the key entry. Now my smart lock makes a lot of noise and clicks loudly about 4 or 5 times before locking. Is there a fix?

Probably not! Sounds like something was damaged besides the plug. Clicking could be a tooth on the gear was damaged and now slips. The way I repair or determine what's wrong with locks is to take them off and start by manually operating the strike and then check / test the rest of the lock as I assemble it back to the door. If the gear is damaged, you should be able to see that once the lock is disassembled. Cross your fingers you find some debris in the lock and thats all....

I think your locksmith did something wrong. I had a similar problem about 3 years ago. There is no need in expensive operations or something. Just find a good locksmith (I was in Dublin and called these guys:https://www.locksmiths365.ie/ , find something similar) and ordered a new smart lock. That will cost you something like £50. Yeah, some guys here propose "cheaper" options, but, you know, cheap isn't always good. These guys can be trusted. They do their job real quick and fine. 3 years passed and I didn't have any problems with my lock.

SOURCE: 2000 dodge durango locks

This is a common problem on Dodge trucks. The noise is the sound of a small plastic gear that is stripped. The only solution is to replace the lock actuator.

SOURCE: I have a 2005 Spectra that I am having door lock

the lock actuator is going out. worse case scenario is you will have to lock it manually or replace the lock actuator inside the door panel. it may still be under warranty. call them and have the vin ready and they can look in their data base. if they prove to be unhelpful, please feel free to e-mail me and i will call.

SOURCE: battery dead and key is locked in truck 05

OK. Here goes; look at the ground wire on any utility pole. Go to Home Depot, Lowe's or the like and purchase a 4 foot peice of wire like the ground wire (steel not copper). Bend one end 90 degrees at about 6 inches of length. Then bend a slow curve in the entire length of the wire. Purchase 2 rubber door stops. Grasp the top right edge of your car door and gently pull outward. Insert a door stop. Place the other door stop at the top of the door and lightly hit it with the heel of your hand. What you are doing is opening the door JUST ENOUGH to insert the wire without damaging the weather stripping. Now use the wire to either pull the door handle or pull the lock to the open position.

Schlage Smart Lock - deadbolt unlocks then immediately locks after code is entered. Barely enough time to open door.

The battery pack may be weak. They are set to stay locked as opposed to stay unlocked in case of battery failure.

Not being able to use the key is an issue in its own right. You would need a locksmith to solve that one.

My kwikset smart code keeps auto locking every 30 seconds

The continuously auto locking was happening for me because the extended deadbolt lock was hitting the back of the drilled frame. So when it locked it did not fully extend and it thought it was not locked and would try again every 30secs.

The fix was to be sure your hole is deep enough for the locked dead bolt to sit into without hitting anything.

The battery is dead on my 2008 Ford Taurus X, the doors are locked and my keys won't unlock the door. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I've already tried the key less entry. That is...

I hate the way they have incorporated these new alarm systems so that you cant open the doors when the battery is dead, some cars will lock you inside unable to open door from inside. The electric door locks are what is keeping you from being able to unlock doors. Some people go to Auto Zone and rent the tool that can be slid into the door by way of the window opening, this doesn't always work. the best way to get in is to go under the car with a set of jumper cables and charge the battery from the large battery cable that is connected to the starter.. charge battery enough to access door locks P.s. it wont take much power to use key to unlock door after the battery has a small charge..

Kwikset Smart Key Deadbolt Won't Unlock

Kwikset Smart Key locks are complete junk. I am a locksmith and I am constantly going from house to house replacing these "dumb key" locks with original kwikset pin tumbler locks. What happens is either your key or the wafers inside the lock wear slightly, slightly enough to cause your keys to not turn, and since these locks cannot be picked due to a side bar system, they must be drilled off and thrown away when this happens Unless you have another access point to get in the house. If you do remove lock from the inside, throw it in the trash, buy original kwikset and replace.
