  • Tools required:
    • Bold Connect WiFi Door Control Module (this product)
    • Bold Smart Cylinder Lock (sold separately) already installed in the door
    • Smartphone or tablet capable of installing the Bold App
    • Credentials for your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network (SSID and password)
  • Applications:
    • Bold App (install from your device app store)

• Prepare: Unpack the Bold Connect module and confirm the Bold Smart Cylinder Lock is fitted to the door and functions locally (manual or key operation). Ensure you have your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network name and password to hand.
• Power & physical installation: Follow the hardware quick start supplied with the module to apply power and position the module so it has reliable Wi‑Fi reception near the router and within range of the door lock. The product description does not specify power method; follow the included module documentation for correct powering and mounting.
• Install the Bold App: On your smartphone or tablet install the Bold App. Open the app and sign in or create an account if required by the app. The Bold Connect module is compatible with the Bold App (as specified).
• Add the module in the app: In the Bold App choose the option to add or set up a device. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Bold App to add the Bold Connect module. When prompted, select your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network and enter its password. Only 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi is specified; do not attempt to connect to a 5 GHz-only network.
• Confirm cloud connection: Allow the Bold App to complete the module setup until it reports the module is online or connected. The module provides a secure cloud connection so the app can manage the lock remotely once online.
• Pair with the Bold Smart Cylinder Lock: Using the Bold App, add or pair your Bold Smart Cylinder Lock to the Bold Connect module following the app prompts. Ensure the lock is awake and available for pairing according to the lock’s instructions. The module extends the lock’s functionality to remote control and status updates (as specified).
• Verify functionality: From the Bold App test lock and unlock commands and confirm the app receives real-time lock status updates. Confirm remote control is working from a different network (for example, switch off Wi‑Fi on the phone and test via mobile data) to verify cloud access.
• Final placement and securing: Once operation is confirmed, place and secure the module in its intended location according to the hardware guide so it remains within reliable Wi‑Fi range of your router and in reach of the lock.
• Troubleshooting basics: If the module fails to connect, confirm you selected a 2.4 GHz SSID (not a 5 GHz-only SSID), verify the Wi‑Fi password, and ensure the router is not blocking device-to-cloud connections. If pairing fails, ensure the Bold Smart Cylinder Lock is fitted correctly and its battery or power source (per that product’s instructions) is adequate. The product description does not specify LED indicators or reset procedures — consult the included hardware documentation for those details.
• Security notes: Use a strong, unique Wi‑Fi password and keep your Bold App account credentials secure. The module is described as providing a secure cloud connection; keep the app updated as provided by Bold for security patches.
