A door lock that still works when the power doesn’t

It’s the first thing everyone asks, and it’s a fair question in a country with four hours of city power: what happens when the electricity goes and I’m standing outside my own door?

The answer surprises people.

Nothing happens. The lock was never plugged into anything.

They run on batteries, not on your wall

Every lock we stock takes its own batteries — four AAA or AA cells in the simpler models, a rechargeable 4200 mAh pack in the face-recognition ones.

Your building can be completely dark and the lock neither knows nor cares.

So what does a power cut actually take?

The router. And with the router goes one thing only: unlocking the door from your phone while you’re somewhere else.

Everything you do standing at the door is stored inside the lock itself.

Face recognitionYes
Mechanical keyYes — always
Unlocking from your phone while awayNo — needs the router
And there is always a key

Every model here keeps a real mechanical keyhole. Flat battery, dead phone, forgotten code — the key still opens it. That is the floor beneath everything else.

How long do the batteries last?

Months of normal family use, not days. The lock warns you long before it stops — beeping at the door and a message in the app.

If you somehow ignore every warning, the key is still in your pocket.

Which one for which door

The door decides more than the budget does. Measure its thickness first — that is what rules models in or out.

And the one people actually want

Face recognition sounds like a luxury until you have carried shopping up four flights in the dark. You look at the door and it opens.

The lock lets the family in without keys. The camera tells you who came and when.

Before you buy

  • Measure the door thickness. It is the one number that decides everything.
  • Glass doors need the glass model — a normal lock cannot be fitted to frameless glass.
  • Don’t buy face recognition for a door you open twice a day. The handle at $46 does the same job for a family that mostly uses fingerprints.

These are our smart door locks, stocked in Lebanon, and fitting is normal carpentry — most doors take under an hour.

Send us a photo of your door and its thickness on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you which of these fits it. If none of them do, we’ll tell you that too.
