Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections
A smart lock may use both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but their availability and supported operations depend on the specific model and application conditions.
Electronic functions
Understand the differences between PIN access, connectivity and remote management, and the equipment each function requires.
Electrified lock holding current
Holding current is the current specified by the manufacturer to maintain a particular operating state. It is a separate field from maximum current; the lower holding current alone does not describe the complete power-supply requirement.
Keypad access and electronic locks
A keypad can provide keyless operation, but its presence does not mean the lock supports remote network access.
Maglock rated holding force
Rated holding force is the manufacturer's holding-capacity specification for a defined electromagnetic-lock configuration. For double-door information, distinguish values per leaf from values for the complete device.
Smart-lock remote management
Remote management means managing a device or access permissions through supported networks and apps while away from the lock. Distinguish viewing status, changing permissions and executing an unlock.
