Igloohome smart lock battery flat? How to open it from outside
The Mortise 2+ has a 9V jumpstart: press a 9V battery's terminals against the two silver plates on the front of the lock. When it beeps, it has power and you can enter your PIN.
The Mortise 2+ comes with physical keys (five in the box). Igloohome recommends keeping at least one on you.
Igloohome smart lock battery replacement
Igloohome lists the Mortise 2+ as taking 8 AA alkaline batteries, lasting up to 18 months. Replace all of them together when the lock or app warns you.
How to change the password on a Igloohome smart lock
Codes are managed in the igloohome app, where you can create permanent, time-limited or one-time PINs and remove old ones. Landlords can issue codes to tenants and guests without meeting them.
How to reset a Igloohome smart lock
Resetting removes the lock from your app account and wipes its access settings, so it's done from inside with the app. If you're locked out, use the 9V jumpstart or a key instead.
Repeated wrong codes trigger a temporary keypad lockout. Wait it out, then try once.
Igloohome smart lock not working? Common problems
| Your Igloohome lock | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad completely dark | Batteries flat | From outside, press a 9V battery against the two silver plates on the front. Then replace the batteries from inside. |
| Accepts the code but the latch won't turn | Weak batteries, or a mechanical fault in the lock body | Try emergency power once. Don't force the handle: that's how lock bodies break. |
| Refuses a code you know is right | Privacy mode set from inside, or the wrong-code lockout | Repeated wrong codes trigger a temporary keypad lockout. |
| App shows offline or can't connect | Wi-Fi, hub or Bluetooth | Use the keypad or fingerprint at the door: the Igloohome lock works without the app. |
If a code stops working, check its validity period in the app before calling: expired guest or tenant codes are a common cause.
A typical Igloohome call
This is the kind of Igloohome call we often get: A landlord set a tenant's access code to run until the end of the month. The tenant renewed, but nobody extended the code, and on the 1st it stops working. Usually the landlord can fix it in the app; when they can't be reached, we're the backup.
What's different about Igloohome locks
Igloohome is a Singapore-founded smart lock brand built around app access and time-limited codes, which makes it popular with landlords. Most lockouts we see are about code settings rather than a broken lock.
Tips for Igloohome owners
- Keep a 9V battery and one physical key where you can reach them from outside.
- For rentals, set guest codes with clear start and end times, and check them before guests arrive.
- Keep your app login details somewhere you can reach from another device.
- Replace all eight AA batteries together when warned.
