What to do if Kaba EF780 Door locks are in privacy mode?
- C
  Chad PachecoAug 17, 2025
  If the Kaba Door lock cannot be opened with a PIN code or a fingerprint from outside and the lock voice guide indicates "Privacy mode", it's likely that the privacy mode has been activated from inside. In this case, the door cannot be opened using a PIN code or a fingerprint from outside. The lock can be used again only after the privacy mode is deactivated from inside or by using the mechanical key.

  If the auto lock feature isn't working on your Kaba Door locks, first, verify that the [OPEN/LOCK] switch is on the right side. If it's on the left, the door won't lock automatically, even when closed. Also, ensure the gap between the door and the frame is less than 5mm.

  If you're having trouble opening your Kaba Door locks with a fingerprint, make sure it's a registered fingerprint. Try wiping both your finger and the fingerprint reader. Also, try again by maximizing the contact area of your fingerprint on the reader. Keep in mind that if the lock is set to “Double Identification Mode”, fingerprint identification alone will not work.

  If you're having issues registering a fingerprint on your Kaba Door locks, make sure to place your fingerprint on the reader within 10 seconds of the keypad illuminating. Also, ensure that you do not remove your fingerprint until identification is successful. Note that fingerprint registration or identification may be problematic if your fingerprint ridges are indistinct, damaged, or if the fingerprint belongs to a child.
