snipboy Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Probably need two threads for this, but combining for now... First issue, my Yale lock is totally scratched up. I've had it four years now. Any ideas on polishing it back up? It works just fine, just lots of fine scratches. Is the toothpaste method ok on this lock? Second issue, this is a bigger concern for me... there have been occasions where the locks will not lock itself after 60 seconds. Just stays unlocked. No rhyme or reason behind these instances. Is there a way I can find out why in a log somewhere, or get a notification if the door doesn't lock? I have no indications that the batteries are bad. Replaced, and have still seen this happen on a few occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfiveo1 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 could be the door isnt fully "latched" so it tries to lock but cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced, and have still seen this happen on a few occasions. Notification totally possible. I would use a timer to "check of it relocked" after a set time. 75 seconds for example. When lock state changes ? If lock state false -> start timer When timer expires ?if lock state false ->play announcement -> flash a light ->etc.... ->lock door Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VINCELdUB Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The polish you can use almost any type of polish. The glass is extremely durable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VINCELdUB Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Inhave 3 of these at our shop with no key. They work great and never fail. I have not tried any form of polish on them but 0000 wire scratch pad and some polish or ceramic polish should do the trick Happy Automating!
