How to compare smart lock access methods

Build a useful shortlist by checking access methods, app options and the way each door will be used.

A useful smart lock shortlist starts with the access methods your buyers need. The Starlight catalog includes fingerprint, code, card and mechanical key options, with the combination varying by model.

Start with the required combination

GA01 lists fingerprint, code and key access. GCC001 lists code, card and key access. C020 and DS0058 list fingerprint, code, card and key access. Compare the specific model specifications instead of assuming that every lock in a range shares the same functions.

Separate app requirements from local access

Several catalog models list an optional app configuration. State whether an app is required in your enquiry, then confirm the platform, connection method and functions for the quoted configuration. An optional app listing alone does not establish remote access or compatibility with a particular system.

Match the format to the door

The range includes deadbolts, lever locks, door knobs and handle-style smart locks for wooden doors. GL001 is listed for glass doors, while PPF800 is listed for wooden and security doors. Provide door thickness, existing preparation and installation drawings so the proposed configuration can be checked.

Keep your comparison practical

  • List the required access methods for each application.
  • Separate essential functions from optional requests.
  • Confirm installation dimensions, power requirements and documentation.
  • Compare the quotation against the exact model and configuration.

Use the product range and catalog to create your shortlist, then send your requirements.
