The short answer: Models such as the GEA1000BK have an emergency port for a 9V battery on the outside. Hold the battery to it, then enter your PIN. If that doesn't work, call or WhatsApp 9224 9224, any time.

Solity is a Korean-made digital lock brand found on many Singapore HDB and condo doors, with push-pull and gate models such as the GEA1000BK that use fingerprint, PIN, card and app access.
Solity digital lock battery flat? How to open it from outside
Models such as the GEA1000BK have an emergency port for a 9V battery on the outside. Hold the battery to it, then enter your PIN.
The GEA1000BK includes a mechanical key. Not every model does, so check yours.
Solity digital lock battery replacement
The GEA1000BK takes eight 1.5V AA batteries. Replace them all at once at the first low-battery warning.
How to change the password on a Solity digital lock
Codes are changed from the inside unit or, on Wi-Fi models, the Solity app. Follow the manual for your model number.
How to reset a Solity digital lock
A factory reset deletes all fingerprints, cards and codes and is done from inside only.
After several wrong codes the keypad pauses for a few minutes. Wait, then try once.
Solity digital lock not working? Common problems
| Your Solity lock | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad completely dark | Batteries flat | From outside, hold a 9V battery to the emergency port on the outside. 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 | After several wrong codes the keypad pauses for a few minutes. |
| App shows offline or can't connect | Wi-Fi, hub or Bluetooth | Use the keypad or fingerprint at the door: the Solity lock works without the app. |
A Solity lock that beeps but won't turn the latch may have a weak battery or a mechanical problem in the lock body rather than a wrong code.
Using a 9V battery on a Solity lock
Solity's guidance for a lock with flat batteries: hold a 9V battery against the external emergency power terminal and, while it's touching, enter your password. Use a fresh alkaline 9V; a tired or rechargeable one may not have enough power to drive the motor. Where the terminal sits depends on the model, so find yours before you need it.
Once you're in, the 9V has done its job. Replace all the main batteries from inside straight away, or the lock will be dead again the next time you step out.
A Solity on the door, another on the gate?
Many Singapore homes pair a push-pull lock on the main door with a rim lock on the gate. They're separate locks with separate batteries: when one warns you, check the other on the same day, and keep a spare 9V where you can reach it from outside.
A typical Solity call
This is the kind of Solity call we often get: Someone pushed hard on a Solity handle when the lock was slow to respond. Now the code is accepted and the motor runs, but the latch won't pull back. That's a mechanical fault rather than a battery one, so we open the door and talk through replacing the lock body or the whole lock.
What's different about Solity locks
Solity is a Korean-made brand found on many Singapore HDB and condo doors. Emergency power and override options vary by model, so knowing your model number saves time when something goes wrong.
Tips for Solity owners
- Find out whether your model uses 9V or USB emergency power before you need it.
- If the latch is getting stiff, get it checked before it jams.
- Replace all eight batteries as soon as the low-battery warning sounds.
- Keep the override key (if any) outside the home.
