How do you open your Bold Smart Lock in the Bold app?

A simple guide to opening your door with the Bold app.

Congratulations on installing your Bold Smart Lock! But how do you easily open your door? Just follow these steps:

  1. Open the Bold app and go to the main screen. Here, you’ll see the lock that’s closest to you.

  2. Check the activation button: If you’re within Bluetooth range, the button will appear in orange. If Bluetooth is off or you’re too far from the lock, the button will turn grey.

  3. Activate the lock: Press the orange activation button. A green timer will start around the button. At this point, your Bold Smart Lock is activated, and you can turn the outer knob to open the door.


Using a Bold Connect?

  1. Connect activation: With a Bold Connect, the activation button will remain orange even when you’re out of Bluetooth range. When you press ‘Activate’ on an Android device, a pop-up will ask if you want to open the lock remotely. On an iOS device, activation happens directly.

  2. Confirm your choice (Android only): Select ‘Activate’ to confirm. A green timer will start around the button, indicating that the Bold Smart Lock is activated and can be opened.

With these simple steps, you’re always in control of your door, whether nearby or remotely!
