Thanks a lot for posting this, it really helped. Instead of filing down the plastic, I placed a thin folded piece of foil paper between the battery and the contacts and boom!! that worked. Schlage need to design a better battery casing, these locks are not cheap.
Hans, thanks for the video! Same issue as others have stated. I also did what ManaWarGaming mentioned with the aluminum foil. Fixed the issue! For the cost of the lock, this should have designed better.
Thank you for the video, it encouraged me to look into what was happening with my Schlage deadbolt lock, as it had become totally unresponsive, even with fresh batteries. I initially thought it was due to using rechargeable batteries, but couldn't test that theory because I had no alkalines onhand. The problem ended up being the contacts inside the unit, more specifically on the printed circuit board. We reshaped the spring contacts so that they would make contact with the battery carrier, and after that it worked! Accidentally broke a contact though, so it needed to be soldered back on- be really careful when messing with these. Otherwise, success!
So I didn’t have the same issue, but your video got me looking at the pack. I had a broken connection between the pressure spring of the negative terminal and the outside post. Tested continuity and sure enough none. Just another thing to test.
Awesome video!!!!!!!! Thank you! I had the same problem with my Schlage deadbolt not powering up. I shaved the plastic tabs that kept the battery from making contact and it worked. Thanks again for the video.
Exact same issue I had. Thank you for posting the fix!! Really appreciate it. Been trying to figure it out for a couple hours. Saved me a lot of time and headache.
I own a Schlage Connect Camelot smart deadbolt with a keypad that occasionally fails to respond. To get the keypad to function, I often have to disconnect and then reconnect the battery connection. Following advice from another user, I added a piece of foil to the positive ends of all the batteries where the plastic bars are located. I completed this fix today, and I'm optimistic that it will resolve the problem of the keypad occasionally becoming unresponsive.
@@hanslain9729 I agree I did not want to start shaving things off when the foil wold be the easiest thing to try first. Plus I also do not have the tool to measure the voltage so that is why I added the foil to all batteries since I could see that the batteries were not making full contact on the positive end of the battery pack casing. I am hoping this will fix my problem. TBD 🤞🤞
I had to convert to 9v. For whatever reason, my battery bank was snapped in half. I took the bank off. Cut the wire Connected a single 9v battery plug to the 2 wires. Then heat shrink the two connections.

Glad this helped out! Have a good one.

Did the same thing with the foil and it worked. Thanks for the help!!

Had all tools in hand nice. Thank you sir
This made so much sense, why the door lock seem to have dead batteries that were not actually dead.
Worked like a charm. I literally threw it in the trash after messing with just about everything else and couldn’t get it. Thanks a lot!
I had to mess around with the contact points myself and then it started to work. Thanks for the video!
Glad it helped!

Super helpful. Thank You
Thank you so much! WTF.... all of a sudden this became an issue? I've had this lock for over 3 years.
My SSSD just quit working. Watch your video, got the VOM/Razor Knife out and walla, it is fixed.
Thanks so much. Your video solved the problem.
thank you for posting - I had the exact same problem with the exact same battery swap!
Still relevant today. Thanks
Glad this helped!
Such an easy fix! Thanks man
You're welcome!
This solved my problem. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Thank you sir, this solution worked for me.
Thanks👍🏾
Glad this was helpful!
Thanks for this video. It was exactly my problem.

That foil would work too. The video here shows where to shave off a couple tabs so your battery just makes contact with the original contact.

@@srg.p3na Nice job. Nobody wants to be locked out! 😁👍
I had to convert to 9v.
For whatever reason, my battery bank was snapped in half.
I took the bank off.
Cut the wire
Connected a single 9v battery plug to the 2 wires.
Then heat shrink the two connections.
ah yeah, same issue. Thanks for this
Happy to help!
Thank you. This helped.
Dude thank you!! It worked!
Yessir thanks bro it worked
What would happen if you put a 9V battery in place of the AA battery pack? Does the deadbolt electronics have a voltage regulator?
Interesting question but no idea.
You should honestly set up a tipping account .... Every content creator should bc id absolutely toss u $5
They said not to use rechargeable batteries..
Lame design of that's the case. Rechargeables are a better option for something you're using for years
I am using them without issues 🤷♂️
