Yew digital lock not working? Common problems
| Your Yew lock | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad completely dark | Batteries flat | From outside, plug a power bank into the USB-C emergency port. 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 Yew lock works without the app. |

A typical Yew call
This is the kind of Yew call we often get: A family charges their Yew F11 door lock but forgets the U4 Pro on the gate, and it dies late at night. The mechanical key is on the key ring inside. We open the gate, and they set a reminder to charge both together.
What's different about Yew locks
Yew sells door and gate sets on rechargeable batteries with USB-C emergency power, so charging habits matter more than buying batteries.
Tips for Yew owners
- Charge the door and gate locks together.
- Keep a USB-C cable and power bank for emergencies.
- Store a mechanical key outside the home.
- Register more than one fingerprint per person.
