What are the three types of Smart lock Mechanisms?
There are three main types of smart locks we offer.
- Lever Latch
Lever Latch type smart locks are the most popular front door locks we install they work with a lever handle and a single latch without the extra built in high large security deadbolt - Lever latch with built in high security deadlock
This all-in-one lock operates with a lever handle with both a latch mechanism and a large deadbolt, so when the door is pulled shut the latch locks the door immediately, for added security you have the option to lift the handle upwards to engage the security built in dead bolt function. - Smart - Dead lock
This lock mechanism has a single bolt function that slides across mechanically to lock and unlock. The T11B Deadlocks have an adjustable automatic timer in the app.
The T13 and T17 range work with a sensor that locks the deadbolt immediately when the door is shut. The deadbolts locks give you all the features of our smart locks - But they do require a separate lever latch with handle or a pull handle with a roller latch installed on the door. This is to hold the door in the correct position for the deadlock to slide back and forth and for you to use to open and close the door.
This lock is perfect if you want to keep an existing door lever handle or knob set but want the functionality of a smart lock.
