This is the Kevo from Kwikset, installed on Baldwin Evolved hardware. We’ve added the Kevo Plus upgrade, which allows remote operation from anywhere in the world—pretty amazing.

In today’s video, we’ll show you how to replace the batteries in your Kevo smart lock. While the lock can still be operated with a physical key, it also works with the Kevo mobile app for added convenience.

Let’s begin with identifying the battery location. First, remove the black cover by simply pulling it upward. Once the cover is off, pull up on the battery cartridge located at the back of the lock.

Now replace the old batteries with four new AA batteries. The general battery life is around three months, depending on your usage patterns.

After inserting the new batteries, slide the cartridge back into the lock and place the black cover back on top.

To test the installation, open the Kevo app on your phone. Select your lock, and tap to lock or unlock. If everything is functioning properly, the app should lock the door with no issues.
