Keep Your Lock Cool — Literally
Direct sunlight can wear on any device, and smart locks are no exception. If your Lockly is exposed to the sun for extended periods — such as on a west-facing front door — consider using a Touchscreen Cover. This accessory helps shield the PIN Genie® touchscreen from overheating or UV-related damage, extending the life of your smart lock’s display and making it easier to use on those bright summer days.
Pro tip: Opt for covers with a matte finish to reduce glare while still allowing full access to the touchscreen.
Stay Charged While You're Away
Going off-grid for a while? Whether you're heading out on a long road trip or leaving your vacation home unattended, make sure your Lockly stays powered:
- If your Lockly model includes a rechargeable battery (with USB-C charging), you can easily top it up before leaving.
- For extended absences, connect the rechargeable battery to a portable power bank using a USB-C cable — no need to remove the battery or access the lock.
- Check your battery status from the Lockly Home App and set alerts for low battery notifications.
🔋 This feature is available on Lockly models that come with built-in USB-C rechargeable batteries. Not compatible with AA battery-powered models.
Keeping a portable power bank nearby is a simple, travel-friendly way to ensure your smart lock stays powered — no matter how long you’re gone.
Rain or Shine, Lockly’s Got You Covered
Summer isn’t all sunshine. Sudden downpours and humidity can affect outdoor electronics — but not when you have Rain Mode enabled.
Rain Mode is designed to prevent accidental or false triggers from rain droplets or mist when the fingerprint sensor or keypad gets wet. Your Lockly smart lock will continue functioning securely and reliably, even in wet or stormy weather.
🌧️ Enabled automatically on supported models like the Lockly Vision Elite, Rain Mode gives you peace of mind during unexpected summer showers.
Plan for Emergency Access — Just in Case
If something unexpected happens while you’re away — a pet needs rescuing, or a package needs to be retrieved — you’ll want a backup plan for access:
- Share an Offline Access Code (OAC): Generate a one-time or time-limited code through the Lockly Home App for trusted neighbors or family. No internet? No problem — OACs work even when Wi-Fi is down.
- Enable Guest Access Remotely: With models that support Wi-Fi or are connected to the Lockly Secure Link Wi-Fi Hub, you can unlock your door from anywhere in the world.
With Lockly, you’re always in control — even from miles away.
Enjoy the Season, Stress-Free
Smart security means freedom — the freedom to travel, relax, and embrace spontaneous summer plans without worrying about your home. With Lockly, you’re protected in rain or shine, home or away.
