Why do I need a digital lock?

With a digital lock, you can unlock your door via one of the features - fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card, emergency key, facial recognition and mobile phone.

You no longer need to bring keys around with you and you no need to worry about losing your keys anymore. (However, you are advised to keep the mechanical overriding key out and reachable in times of emergency. For example: car, office, family's place.)

Which digital lock is suitable for my house?

Why are some digital locks much cheaper elsewhere?

Parallel imports (also called grey or direct imports) are products that you buy from a seller who does not have specific permission from the manufacturer to sell those products. Most parallel import sets don't come with local support. 

Locks that are generally cheaper are usually parallel import sets. We do not recommend getting parallel imports as they have not approved by the Singapore Government (IMDA) or other tests.

There are companies in the market selling parallel import Samsung Digital Lock. These locks are designed to use in Korea (dry weather, certain components are not suitable for high humidity conditions which may cause malfunction or shorten the life span of products. Most of these companies outsource the installation to freelance installer and the workmanship is usually not consistent with original standard.

In any case of emergency, these companies might not have the 24/7 service to provide for you. The possibility of you locked in/out of the house is therefore high.

What type of batteries should I use?

Most digital Locks requires double A batteries. We highly recommend using Panasonic Evolta and Duracell alkaline as they have anti-leak seals to prevent battery leakage.

As for remote control, we recommend using Panasonic Evolta CR2032 batteries OR Panasonic Evolta triple A batteries.

For digital mailbox locks, we recommend using Panasonic Evolta CR1220 batteries.

How long does batteries last?

We recommend customers to change their batteries once every 6 months to prevent battery leakage.

We recommend using Panasonic Evolta or Duracell Alkaline to prolong the life of your digital locks. Other brands or models of batteries might be too powerful or too weak that might cause issues to your digital locks in the long run.

How long does installation take?

Installation of digital locks and accessories will take about 1 to 4 hours.

Tips to prolong the lifespan of your digital lock.

Emergency

Help, I am locked inside of the house.

Check for signs of battery leakage. Please ensure you use recommended batteries (Panasonic Evolta or Duracell Alkaline). Replace a new set of batteries and try opening your digital lock again.

*Avoid over-stocking batteries

Help, I am locked outside of the house.

Use a thin object to poke on the reset button from the front panel using a sim card pin or toothpick (selective models).

If panel is not responsive (depending on lock model), you may jumpstart with a 9V battery or a power bank.
