Does anyone know what type of batteries the keyfobs take for this lock? Thanks

Battery CR2025 3v is what it says on the label inside the keyfob. It's not mentioned in the manual and I can't see on the battery itself which is covered by a contact sleeve. Afraid to take it off incase it resets itself.

It takes Cr2025 and I've replaced them twice in the past year on each of my 3 key fobs. They are relatively inexpensive and I purchased them from Amazon over a year ago. CR2032 Maxell LITHIUM 5 BATTERIES . I've had to change the 4 AA batteries for the lock about 4 times in the past year.

I think the key fobs take those Coin style batteries. They are available at any store. However I did not like the lock. It went through batteries very fast. And the key fobs were very unstable, they did that stay connected to the lock. I don't think it's ready for prime time. Otherwise it's a nice lock. I have the schlage lock with touchpad it works much better.

CR2025. Make sure you use brand name. The key fob drains a lot of battery, you will be lucky if it will last one month. The manufacture will not tell you this. Please read all reviews before you decided to purchase this. It is unreliable once in a while. I am ready to unstall and return two of them and switch to Schlage. Like M. Roche noted "not ready for prime time". The customer service will give you a run around when calling for tech support.

Battery compartment is on the front below the number keypad. It was a little hard to remove. Trick I found was to use one of those rubber jar lid openers to help grip it as you slide it downward, away from the numbers. That seemed to do the trick.

I purchased one on an auction website and it came without the manual key. I figured I'd change the batteries every few months so i wouldn't ever be locked out. For whatever reason, my safe never gave the indicator warning the installed batteries needed to be changed - I was locked out! After I tried unsuccessfully to get key replacements from Barska, I ended up ordering the external battery powered backup accessory from Barska for about $20. It runs off of 4 AA batteries and plugs directly into a port on the side of the Biometric "dial" on the door. I highly recommend getting it just in case the keys get misplaced. Just remember not to keep the back-up in the safe...lol. I purchased one on an auction website and it came without the manual key.

My transponder came with the battery in it already. I believe it is the button battery cr2032

I don't know. I actually tried the lock for a month while my house was being renovated. I decided not to use this lock set because it went through batteries very quickly. Also the key fobs did not work very often. I would recommend the Schlage deadbolt. I have had one for about a year now and it works as good as the first day.

Hi The batteries are located on the outside of the safe, behind the keypad. the cover snaps off fairly easy so they are easy to change. I really like this setup and it works well. Makes it quick to get in if needed. Mike

I have two of these locks that were installed 7 months ago (10/2014). The batteries are currently at 85% & 87% as indicated via my Smartthings Hub. Make sure the bolt is installed with zero drag when setting and all will work well.

Mine is an external. Twist the keypad and it comes off and you replace the 9 volt battery. Easy to do for me so anyone can do it.

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.

the lock doesn't lock itself, you either push the lock button on the keyboard or mechanically turn the locking mechanism on the lock itself. I'm very happy with this lock. you can buy AA Lithium batteries to extent the usable life cycle.

Other than contacting factory, I have no answer. I bought three locks and they came keyed alike and with six keys. So far I like the lock.... Worth the money to me.

One of the little button batteries. I think the number is cr2032. I've had this type of clicker for a long time and generally only have to replace the battery every other year or so.

This is a NanoVault product. There are no batteries. This unit locks with a key.

I have had my Schlage less than a year, so I do not have the long term experience you are asking about. My neighbor has had his lock for 5 years and the battery is still working, but he, too, does not know how much longer the battery will last or if there are any warning signs that the battery is about to fail. . . . sorry . . .

Either the batteries are installed improperly or the light is defective. Does the lock work?

4 double A batteries.If for some reason the batteries go dead and the safe is locked.You need a 9 volt battery to open it with the default code.Do not lose the safe's information or default code.You touch the 9 volt battery to the location marked on the front of the safe and enter the default code, not the code you put it.hope all of this helps.

The battery is on the inside so you would have to take part of it apart to replace it, but I have used these types of locks for more than a couple years and have never had to replace a battery, so I'm thinking they will last quite a long time.
