The short answer: The Sentinel runs on a rechargeable battery that you charge over USB-C. Keep it charged, as the physical key is the backup if it ever runs flat. If that doesn't work, call or WhatsApp 9224 9224, any time.

Prism+ digital lock not working? Common problems
| Your Prism+ lock | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad completely dark | Batteries flat | From outside, use the physical key, then recharge the battery over USB-C. 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 attempts 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 Prism+ lock works without the app. |
Door and gate locks pair with each other but have their own batteries. Charge both, not just the one that warns you.
A typical Prism+ call
This is the kind of Prism+ call we often get: A household's PRISM+ door lock is charged regularly, but the Sentry gate lock outside isn't, and it's the gate that dies first. The gate's physical key is on the key ring inside the flat. We open the gate, and they start charging both on the same day.
What's different about Prism+ locks
PRISM+ is a Singapore brand, and its locks use rechargeable Li-ion batteries rather than AA cells, with matching door and gate locks that talk to each other.
Tips for Prism+ owners
- Charge the door and gate locks on the same day.
- Keep the physical key outside the home.
- Set up at least two ways in: PIN and fingerprint.
- Charge as soon as the low-battery warning appears.
