Door open alert triggers

Stop false door-open alerts.

Updated Feb 9, 2026

Overview

Door and access issues usually involve alignment, latch sensors, or lock motor failures. Stop false door-open alerts.

Diagnostics

  • Confirm the door closes fully and evenly.
  • Inspect latch sensor and magnet alignment.
  • Listen for lock motor engagement after close.

Resolution steps

  • Re-seat door gasket and realign hinges.
  • Clean debris around latch and lock components.
  • Reboot and retest the locking cycle.

Preventive maintenance

  • Clean latch weekly in high-traffic sites.
  • Avoid overfilling shelves that block the door.
  • Check hinge alignment monthly.

When to contact support

  • Lock motor does not actuate.
  • Door sensor fails after alignment.
  • Repeated lock errors in the event log.

Expanded guidance

  • Confirm all steps are documented so the next technician can reproduce the results.
  • Capture before/after metrics (errors cleared, sales restored, or uptime improved).
  • Review machine, reader, or route settings to ensure they match location standards.

Common pitfalls

  • Skipping a controlled test leads to false positives.
  • Updating hardware without documenting configuration changes.
  • Forgetting to verify payout, refund, or reconciliation data after changes.

Next-step checklist

  • Run a final test with known-good inputs.
  • Log the outcome with date, time, and device identifiers.
  • Schedule a follow-up check if the location has high traffic or seasonal demand.
