Things to Know Before Installation & Replacing a Digital Safe Lock in SG
1. Check If Your HDB Door Is Fire-Rated
Most main doors in newer HDB flats are fire-rated, which means you must choose a fire-rated digital lock and ensure proper installation to maintain the door’s integrity.
Why it matters:
- HDB requires fire-rated digital locks for fire-rated doors
- Incorrect installation may void the fire rating and affect safety
✔️ Ask us for locks with fire-rated certification
✔️ Avoid modifying the door yourself
2. Choose the Right Type of Digital Lock
Not all locks suit every door. Consider your door type, usage needs, and preferred unlocking method.
Types of digital locks available:
- Lever handle digital locks
- Push-pull digital locks
- Rim locks
- Deadbolt digital locks
- Gate digital locks
Unlock methods:
- Fingerprint
- RFID card
- PIN code
- Bluetooth/wifi via mobile app
- Physical key override
✔️ We’ll help you choose a lock that suits your HDB door
3. Measure Your Door Dimensions
Before purchasing, check:
- Door thickness
- Lockset cut-out size
- Swing direction (left or right opening)
✔️ If unsure, our team can guide you, or arrange measurements after purchase
