FAQs
frequently asked questions
What is your return policy?
Returns and refunds are accepted within 30 days of receiving your order. For details on returns and refunds, please review our Refund Policy
Will it work on my kitchen cabinet?
Yes. It is compatible with most kitchen cabinets that have a suitable mounting surface. You can also watch our video guide to see compatible furniture types.
Do I need to drill any holes?
No. The lock can be installed using adhesive tape. Screws are included for optional extra security.
Will it leave marks after removal?
The adhesive may leave minor residue depending on the surface, but it can usually be removed with common household cleaners.
Can I test the app before buying the lock?
Yes. Every account includes a virtual test lock with full functionality.
Can I use it without creating a schedule?
Yes. You can simply use it as an app-controlled Bluetooth lock or create a one-time timer whenever needed.
Can I create different schedule for different days?
Yes. You can create different no-access windows for different days of the week. For example, you can use one schedule for weekdays and another for weekends.
What is self-control mode?
When enabled, no one - including Admin users - can unlock the lock early. The lock can only be opened during allowed access windows or after the timer expires.
Can I change the schedule during a no-access window?
If the schedule was activated with Self-Control Mode enabled, no. The schedule cannot be edited or disabled during a no-access period. You can make changes only after the current no-access period has ended.
Can I add time before the counter reaches zero?
It depends on whether you set the timer with the self-control feature enabled or not. If you turn it on, you can't add time; if it's off, you can turn off the timer and reset it to the desired time.
Can I override the Habit Control timer/schedule?
Our timer/schedule can be set with the self-control feature turned on or off. This means that you can set the timer/schedule for someone else and still have the ability to unlock the lock, or you can set it for yourself for self-control.
Can my child bypass the schedule?
No. Guest users cannot change schedule or unlock outside the allowed access window.
Does it work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Wi-Fi is not required. The app requires an internet connection, which can be provided through either mobile data or Wi-Fi, while the lock connects to your phone via Bluetooth.
Will the lock open automatically when timer runs out or no-access window ends?
No. The lock does not open automatically. When the timer expires or a scheduled no-access period ends, simply unlock it manually using your smartphone
Can multiple people use the same lock?
Yes. You can share the lock with family members or roommates by granting Admin or Guest access through the app.
What's the difference between Admin and Guest?
Admins can manage settings, schedule, and timer (unless Self-Control Mode is enabled). Guests can only lock and unlock when access is allowed and cannot change schedule or unlock early.
What happens if my phone runs out of battery?
The lock settings, timer, schedule remain active. You'll simply need a charged compatible smartphone to connect to the lock again.
What happens if the lock's battery runs out?
Habit Control features an optional Auto Unlock on Low Battery function. When enabled, the lock automatically unlocks if the battery reaches a critically low level, helping prevent accidental lockouts.
Will it unlock if I simply remove the battery?
No. Removing the battery will not unlock the lock. The lock remains locked, and both the timer and any scheduled access settings continue running.
Can I open the lock with a tablet or laptop?
No. Unfortunately, at the moment the app is only designed for phones.
What should I do if I lock my phone in a cabinet or drawer equipped with Habit Control lock?
Our smart lock doesn't open on its own; to access your storage, you still need a smartphone. All you need to do is open the Habit Control app on any other phone, sign in to your account, and open the box.
What can I do if the application isn't working as expected?
We're sorry for any trouble with the app. Give restarting the app or your phone a shot, as it often does the trick. If the problem hangs around, try refreshing the Bluetooth connection. Need more help? Reach out to our friendly support team.
