Locking/unlocking the front door (smart lock)

General

My smart phone ran out of charge and I was locked out.

If you go out without the physical key and are unable to operate the application or unlock the door with the passcode (password), you will not be able to unlock the door even if you contact our support.
In addition, if you use a lockout service, etc., you will be responsible for the cost of the service. Please understand this beforehand.

In the case of NinjaLock M, the smart lock may not be able to be activated when the smartphone runs out of charge or when the signal is weak.
In addition, both "NinjaLock M" and "OPELO" may become inoperable when the battery runs out. (If the battery runs out, an emergency lock can be unlocked by connecting a 9V square alkaline battery.)

Always carry a conventional physical key.

What is the best way to prevent lockout?

There is a possibility that you may not be able to enter your room due to your smart phone battery running out, your smart lock running out of battery, malfunction, etc.
Please take precautionary measures such as carrying a physical key with you at all times or installing a key box to prepare for such an eventuality.

Can I unlock the smart lock even in a place where there is no signal from my smartphone?

《OPELO》: Can be unlocked with an NFC card or password. (Unlocking using a smartphone is not possible)

《NinjaLock M》: If a passcode is set, it can be unlocked with the passcode without a smartphone.

When using "NinjaLock M" and locking/unlocking from a smartphone, the application must communicate with the server side (Internet). If communication is not possible, operations cannot be performed from a smartphone.

If the smart lock is disabled due to a dead battery, can the lock be unlocked from outside?

Emergency unlocking is possible by connecting a square alkaline 9V battery. Please refer to the following page for detailed procedures. Also, after emergency unlocking, please replace the battery of the smart lock body immediately.

  • When Ninja Lock M cannot be unlocked due to dead battery
  • Replace battery in Ninja Lock M
  • When OPELO cannot be unlocked due to dead battery
  • Replace battery in OPELO
Where do I insert the batteries?

Please check the following page.

  • Replace battery in Ninja Lock M
  • Replace battery in OPELO
The key stops locking or unlocking halfway.

Please check the following

  • Is there any foreign matter caught between the door and the frame?
  • Is there a foreign object stuck in the hole of the strike (receiving seat)?

Remove the foreign object and try the operation again.
If this does not solve the problem, please contact the Support desk (for other inquiries).
If you continue to use the product without correcting the cause of the problem, it may cause damage to the product.

Who should I contact if my smart lock malfunctions?

If you encounter any problems, please check the "What to do in this case" section first. 

《NinjaLock M》:
Please check the following connection status and functions, and try reinstalling and reconfiguring the application if necessary.

  • Smart Phone

If the problem persists, please contact the App Support Desk.

《NinjaLock M》

I can't lock/unlock the door from the app.

Please check the following

  • Make sure that your smartphone is connected to the Internet.
  • Check the battery level of the smart lock. You can check the battery level by looking at the battery LED on the smart lock itself. You can also check it from the "Home" or "My Device" page of the app. If the battery runs out, you can use a 9V alkaline battery for emergency operation. For instructions, please see "When Ninja Lock M cannot be unlocked due to dead battery".

If the problem persists, please contact the App Support Desk.

The battery LED will flash at a fast rate and the smart lock itself will emit a beeping sound.

There is a possibility that the battery may be dead.
Emergency unlocking can be performed by connecting a square alkaline 9V battery and entering the passcode. For instructions, please see "When the Ninja Lock M cannot be unlocked due to a dead battery".

The battery LED is blinking.

Please replace the batteries as soon as possible. (Use four AA alkaline or AA lithium batteries.(Prepare four AA alkaline or AA lithium batteries.)

What type of batteries are used in OPELO?

The batteries used are AA alkaline batteries. Manganese batteries and rechargeable batteries cannot be used.

Rechargeable batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.2V, which is lower than the 1.5V of regular alkaline batteries. Therefore, when rechargeable batteries are used, the voltage will quickly drop below the specified voltage and a sign will appear that the batteries are dead.

When replacing batteries, do not use a combination of batteries with different remaining capacities or types. Only one of the batteries may empty first, resulting in damage or unexpected operation.
