What is Passage Mode?

Question

How do I keep the lock unlocked? How do I disable auto-lock? How to keep lock in unlock state or position? 
I want to keep the lock open during business hours. 

Answer

Passage mode disables the auto-lock feature for set schedule. For example, if you run a business and want the lock to stay open during business hours, you can schedule the lock to not auto-lock from 8 am to 5 pm on Monday through Friday. 

To adjust passage mode, you will need to be near the lock. If the lock is connected to a Sifely Gateway, the passage mode can be adjusted remotely on our webportal. How to log into the Sifely Webportal

Note: Passage mode will not unlock the lock at the beginning of the set schedule. If passage mode starts at 8 am and is unlocked once, the lock will stay unlocked unless it is locked manually or until the end of passage mode. For newer locks, this feature has been added. Click here to learn more
