Quiet Mode: Make Your RV Smart Lock Invisible After 10 PM

Campground peace is priceless. Here’s how to keep your lock from announcing itself.

1) Kill the Beeps

• Disable keypad tones. If your model can’t, set volume to minimum.
• Turn off “success” chirps after unlock — nobody needs the fanfare.

2) Dim or Disable LEDs

• Set keypad backlight to tap-to-wake only.
• Mask bright status LEDs with a neutral film dot (removable).

3) Physical Damping

• Neoprene shim behind the interior housing to stop resonance.
• Confirm latch/strike alignment so the motor isn’t fighting friction.

4) Quiet Access Habits

• Prefer PIN or NFC over Bluetooth auto-unlock (less chatter).
• Rotate short PINs monthly; keep codes private.

5) Power Budget Bonus

LEDs and tones are tiny loads, but it all adds up. Check your daily Wh in the Energy Calculator and keep parasitics tidy.
