Don't panic. If your PRISM+ Smart Lock battery runs out while you're outside, there are several ways to regain access depending on your situation.
Refer to the scenario below that best matches your situation.
Scenario 1: Someone Is Home
If someone is inside your home, ask them to unlock the lock from the inside.
| Smart Lock Model | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Sentinel / Sentinel Pro | Ask them to use the indoor knob to unlock the door. |

Scenario 2: You Have an Emergency Key
If you have your emergency key with you:
