Hello everyone ?

Thank you for taking your time to read me.

I have a Milock lock and a lock controller #2862-222.

Although it says in the little guide that this controller transmits up to 30 feet, the closest I can install my controller is 15 feet from the door. And physically he can see both of them (so there is no obstacle between them).

I know that my problem is only a problem of distance because sometimes the signal surrenders and other times it doesn't (and this in the same day).

I tried several things including , redoing the sync between my controller and the door lock, changing my battery in my lock etc..  It works for a while and then to "plug and unplug" the controller from the wall, it works again and then it stops again.

However, if I just touch the controller with my finger I increase my chances of operation by 80-90% because I am using it as an antenna. Of course I can't stay there all day and I can't afford to hire someone to become a human antenna ?

My question is, for a guy like me who doesn't have an electronics course, is there a way to increase the transmission distance of this controller box?

Thanks ?

I would just install it closer to the lock. Technically you could add an antenna but you risk damaging a device that they no longer make.
