Replacing the Batteries in the Cox Homelife Door Locks

Solution

The following is used to support the door lock and battery.

  • The lock is powered by four alkaline batteries located on the interior side of the lock, under the interior cover.
  • The recommended battery is a new non-rechargeable alkaline battery.
  • Based on ten operations per day, the battery is expected to lock for over a year. Systems that sit idle may continue to be operational for longer.
  • The following help to extend the battery life.
    • Get the maximum out of the life of your batteries by establishing the lock setting switches to position one, two, and three.
    • Ensure the door is aligned and the lock is not making several attempts to lock or unlock, causing excessive battery use.
    • Avoid turning on the keypad light more than necessary.
