   • If the issue persists proceed to step 2.
2. Try a different door.
   • If another door opens, it may also allow the first door you tried to open to unlock.
   • If other doors are not working, proceed to Step 3.
3. Toggle Bluetooth off and then back on.
4. If the door still will not open, force close and relaunch the app.
