How to Choose a Smart Lock?
Keep it simple:
1.Identify the door
2.Measure the door
3.Match the mortise
4.Choose connectivity
5.Choose access methods
6.Add extra features
Door first. Features second.
A smart lock is useless if it doesn’t fit.
Save this checklist.
Fingerprint vs Face vs Palm Vein
Smart-lock biometrics:
Fingerprint → familiar + fast
Face → hands-free
Palm vein → vascular biometric
The future of smart access probably isn't one authentication method.
It's choosing the right one for each scenario.

What If the Battery Dies?
Every battery eventually dies.
So “battery life” shouldn't be your only smart-lock question.
Also ask:
→ Low-battery warning?
→ Emergency power?
→ Mechanical backup?
Good access-control design includes failure planning.

Buying a smart lock?
Measure first:
• Door thickness
• Faceplate
• Center distance
• Backset
• Mortise

“Looks compatible” is not a measurement.
