What kind of batteries should locks use?

Locks should use high-quality, name-brand alkaline batteries. Locks are unable to properly use lithium or rechargeable batteries due to power requirements. Unexpected behavior with locking actions, lock status, and battery level reporting could occur without alkaline batteries.

For information about replacing the batteries in a lock, refer to the model-specific guides in Locks.
