You might want to check to see if you put the batteries in the right way. I made that mistake. The pictures aren't that clear which way you put them in. Good Luck-it works great once you get it going.

When installing it slide the battery release button and push the battery till it snaps in. Make certain the release button slides back to the locked position.

I really don't know but the manufacturer may be able to help. The other problem is the batteries are charged by sunlight and while I have never had a problem you might during the winter. I really like mine it has worked flawlessly since I installed it.

I had a problem the first time I removed the battery cover, but found that if you insert something thin under the bottom, where the battery cover makes contact with the front face of the remote, you can life it up and out a small amount, it will come off for easy access. I use my thumb nail but other thin plastic or metal may work better for others. The release on the battery cover seems like a poor engineering design. If you try to hold it on the sides to slide it back, you are holding pressure on the locking point that need to be released.

the battery should click into place and stay in by itself. Sounds lile you received a faulty set and should request an exchange for a new one.

Just make sure you don't remove the covering that allows it to stick to the battery and you can swap out batteries. You just have to make sure it's arranged right when putting the cover back on. It will make sense when you see it for yourself.

In my experience, the slider piece that unlocks the original battery was the problem. The new battery which I ordered was slightly bigger than the factory model, and it didn't allow that slider piece to move completely back into place. I had to make sure the battery was as snug as it could possibly be and then manually move the slider piece back into the locked position; the new battery has charged beautifully since doing so.

I have difficulty closing the battery compartment door myself. You have to kind of push down on the door while holding the little latch back at the same time. I've not had the camera long enough to discern different sizes of batteries, but I'm gonna take the other folks' advice and try different batteries when I change them out.

You have to be sure that the little slide that you open to get to the batteries slides in and latches. I suppose as J. Rock says, that the little latch might break off, although I have not had that experience.

You probably already fixed this, but I ran into the same problem last night. The cause? The door on the battery compartment was not closed completely. It *looked* closed, but it wasn't. I opened the door to check the batteries and when I closed the door I saw a tiny little gap. Pushing down on the door caused it to click into place and everything worked.

Try chenging the orientation of the batteries To flip plop. Thats what happened to me.

I installed these locks in my house about eight months ago. I have not changed any batteries yet. The battery replacement is not hard. You have to unscrew the lock but don't have to take it all apart.

My experience is that the battery gets loose. I have 2 batteries in the one I'm using now so that it will be tight. This works for me. I have tried other brands but none are worth owning. Good luck.

sorry took so long. not sure what happens, batteries haven't died yet but I believe it stays locked. You get 2 keys to manually open safe if batteries die or code is forgotten.

There are two very small phillips head screws located on the top of the battery pack (top side is with the upper strap connected to it). The two small screws locked into the small battery compartment lid so they should not fall out when you unscrew them.

If I remember right, it's harder than it should be. :) The battery installs in the back, and goes into the slot on it's side. There's a tab on the battery door that needs to fit into the small slot midway down the battery. That tab seems to lock the battery into place.
