Steps to Resolve a Jammed Door Lock Indicated by the IQ Panel

Step 1: Verify the Lock's Status

   • Check the battery level of the door lock. Replace the batteries if they are low or dead.

Step 4: Inspect for Physical Obstructions

4. Look for Obstructions:
   • Check the door and lock mechanism for any debris, dirt, or physical obstructions that might be causing the jam.
   • Clean any dirt or debris found.

Step 5: Recalibrate the Lock
