Smart-lock door-fit checklist

A good door survey prevents a catalogue choice from becoming an installation change order.

Short answer: Record door material, thickness, handing, lock case or mortise, backset, preparation, frame clearance, photos of both sides and the required fallback access route.

Capture the opening

  • Door leaf and frame material, thickness and fire-rating context.
  • Handing, swing, mortise, backset and cylinder or lever preparation.
  • Power, cable route, weather exposure and available service space.
  • Resident, staff, visitor and emergency access rules.

Review the operating fit

One finish does not mean one lock fits every opening. Compare unit, amenity, service and emergency doors separately, then define a fallback path for low battery or offline conditions.
