Key Factors to Consider When Buying a Digital Lock in Singapore

Before settling on a digital lock model, it’s important to look beyond just price or aesthetics. A good digital lock should enhance both your security and convenience, and suit the specific needs of your home. Here are the key factors every Singapore homeowner should consider before making a purchase:

1. Door Type and Compatibility

Not all locks fit every door or gate setup. HDB and condo units in Singapore often have unique layouts that affect installation and usability.

Measure the clearance between your main door and gate. Most HDB setups need at least 6 cm for smooth operation (our RM60 suits tighter gaps). Check door thickness, handle-side clearance, backset, and strike alignment, as these determine model compatibility and fitting.

For gates, choose gate-specific models like FM021 or RM60, and consider door + gate one-touch sync (works with FR051 and FR060). Condo owners should confirm MCST rules on finishes and permitted modifications before installation.

2. HDB Fire-Rated Compliance (CoC)

If your HDB main door is fire-rated, your digital lock must match a Certificate of Conformity (CoC)–listed configuration under SCDF’s Product Listing Scheme. Installing a non-listed lock or hardware on a certified doorset can compromise fire performance and invalidate certification. 

Always confirm your door’s fire-rating label (usually found on the hinge side) and ensure your installer uses compatible, CoC-listed components.

3. Unlocking Methods

Versatility in access methods is another major consideration. The more options your lock provides, the easier it becomes for different household members to use. At minimum, choose a lock that offers at least three unlocking modes — such as fingerprint, PIN code, and RFID card. 

Higher-end models like the FR051 go even further, offering up to seven ways to unlock, including Bluetooth, mobile app, and mechanical key. This level of flexibility ensures that you’re never locked out, even if one method fails or your phone battery dies.

4. Power and Battery Life

Since most digital locks are battery-powered, checking the battery type and lifespan is crucial. Look for locks that use long-lasting lithium batteries and include a clear low-battery alert system. 

Our locks are engineered for efficiency, typically running for months on a single set of batteries. Many also feature emergency power backup options, such as a micro-USB port, allowing you to power the lock temporarily in case of complete battery depletion.

5. After-Sales Support

A digital lock is a long-term investment, so reliable local servicing and warranty coverage are essential. Opt for brands that provide on-site technical support and spare parts availability in Singapore. We include a minimum of two years of on-site warranty with every purchase — giving homeowners peace of mind that help is just a call away.

6. Integration with Smart Home Systems

Finally, if your home already includes smart devices, consider a lock that can integrate seamlessly with your existing ecosystem. Advanced models such as the FR051 or the Mega Bundle can connect to smart home hubs, voice assistants, or automation apps. 

This allows you to unlock doors remotely, receive notifications, or set up routines — for instance, automatically unlocking when you arrive home.

By aligning these features with your household’s daily habits and security priorities, you’ll be able to select a digital lock that not only safeguards your home but also enhances your overall lifestyle.

Unlock Smarter Living with SINGGATE

Choosing the best digital lock in Singapore isn’t just about technology — it’s about peace of mind, comfort, and the confidence of knowing your home is protected by quality engineering.

Whether you prefer our all-powerful FR051, the gate-friendly FM021, or the full-featured bundles that combine both, SINGGATE gives you more than convenience — we give you control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan of a digital lock?

Most digital locks can last between 5 to 10 years, depending on the quality of the device and how frequently it’s used. Regular maintenance, such as replacing batteries on time and cleaning the sensors, can significantly extend the lock’s lifespan.

Are digital locks safe from hacking?

High-quality digital locks come with encryption and multi-layered authentication to prevent hacking attempts. However, like any smart device, it’s important to update firmware regularly and use secure passwords to minimise potential risks.

Can digital locks work without Wi-Fi?

Yes, many digital locks operate without Wi-Fi and still allow access through PIN codes, fingerprint recognition, or RFID cards. Wi-Fi connectivity simply adds extra convenience for remote monitoring and control via mobile apps.

What should I do if the battery of my digital lock dies?

Most digital locks feature low-battery alerts and emergency power options, such as a micro-USB port for power bank charging or a physical key backup. It’s best to keep a spare power source or key handy in case the battery runs out unexpectedly.

Are digital locks suitable for HDB and condo doors in Singapore?

Yes, digital locks are compatible with most HDB and condo doors, including wooden and metal types. We design our locks to fit common local door structures and comply with housing regulations.
