Fresh Installations
If you're fitting your lock as a fresh install on a new door or additional to your existing lock, almost all of our locks will work with most standard wooden doors in Australia - check the backset (see diagram to the left) and door thickness to and make sure the lock will fit. If you can't find the specs - contact us.
If you're wanting to fit your new lock in place of of an existing lock read below for advice on retrofit installations.
Retrofit Installations
When retrofitting a new Smart Lock in place of your existing hardware it's important to choose the right lock to ensure compatibility and to minimise any patchwork that may need to be done to the door after installation.
We've narrowed down the most common locks in Australia into 5 main categories. Click on your lock type below to be shown which of our products will best fit in place. Please note that not all locks will be able to be replaced by a smart lock. In some situations it may be better to keep your existing lock and install a Smart Lock as a secondary lock.
