How August Smart Locks Work
An August smart lock uses a motor to turn the deadbolt from the inside of your door. You control it through the lock’s app and its connected setup; the connection method and available features depend on the lock and how it is configured. Many August models fit over the inside thumbturn of a compatible deadbolt, leaving the exterior key cylinder in place.
The lock still depends on the door and deadbolt moving freely. A misaligned door, stiff thumbturn, weak batteries or a connection problem can stop the motor from working as expected. Our mobile locksmith comes to your Gaithersburg home to check the lock and door, then explain the service options that fit what we find.
Common August Smart Lock Problems
The motor runs, but the deadbolt does not move
The bolt may be binding against the door frame, or the thumbturn may be difficult to turn by hand. Check the door alignment before assuming the lock motor is the only issue.
The lock does not respond to the app
A phone connection, app setting or lock battery issue can interrupt commands. The available connection options depend on the specific August lock and its setup.
The lock reports an error or behaves inconsistently
A setup issue, low batteries or resistance in the deadbolt can affect operation. We can inspect the lock and door at your property to help identify the source.
A code or access setting needs attention
You may need to update a user setting or review the lock’s access configuration. Available code features vary by setup, so check the app and product instructions for your lock.
The lock needs a reset or fresh setup
A reset may help with some setup problems, but a factory reset can remove saved settings. Review the instructions for your specific lock before resetting it.

Quick Checks Before You Call
- Check the batteries — If the lock is unresponsive or signals low power, check the battery level and replace the batteries as directed in the product instructions. Test the lock again after replacing them.
- Check the door and deadbolt — With the door open, see whether the thumbturn and deadbolt move freely by hand. Do not force the lock. If it works with the door open but binds when closed, the door or strike alignment may be affecting it.
- Review the app and access settings — Confirm you are using the correct account and that your phone’s connection settings are available. If you are considering an August smart lock reset, first check the instructions for your exact lock and note that saved settings may be cleared.
