Electronic lock with misalignment scoring system

A method of testing for misalignment issues m a lock's installation, the method comprising:

• providing an electronic lock with a motor configured to drive a bolt between an extended position and a retracted position;
• determining, with at least one processor, a lock misalignment score based on interference to movement of the bolt moving between the extended position and the retracted position;
• and
• communicating, with at least one processor, the lock misalignment score to a user interface associated with the electronic lock.

An electronic lock comprising:

• a lock assembly including a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position;
• a motor configured to drive the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position;
• a controller configured to control actuation of the motor to selectively move the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position;
• a user interface configured to output information about the electronic lock;
• misalignment scoring means for detecting interference to movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position and determining a lock misalignment score based on the detected interference;
• and
• wherein the user interface identifies the lock misalignment score.
