How to reset a smart lock without breaking calibration again

This article supports smart-lock problem pages where the root issue is often mechanical alignment rather than software alone.

1. Check door alignment, strike plate fit and deadbolt travel before any software reset.
2. Replace weak batteries if there is any doubt.
3. Document existing owner, keypad and guest-access settings before removing the lock.
4. Run calibration only after the lock can move smoothly by hand.
5. Re-test lock, unlock, auto-lock and remote status updates after setup.
