Supplier Evaluation
Buying Questions That Separate Useful Suppliers From Catalog Sellers
These rows keep the conversation practical for distributors, importers and project buyers.
Can the supplier review actual door conditions?
Send door photos, thickness, mortise, frame width and opening direction before comparing final models.
Is the lock direction suitable for the exposure?
Use SUS304, finish and outdoor exposure as buying context, not as generic marketing language.
Are documents tied to selected SKUs?
Certificates, IP wording and test reports should be requested for the exact model and market.
Can OEM details be confirmed before sampling?
Logo, packaging, manual, finish and app option should be known before sample or production quotation.
Include door details, required functions and document questions together.

Prepare a Project Brief Before Asking for Price
A short project brief helps SivoLock recommend the right product direction and prevents a quote from being based on a loose model name.
- Buyer type and target market
- Door type, thickness, mortise and opening direction
- Indoor, outdoor, coastal or project-door environment
- Preferred unlock methods and app option
- Sample need, target quantity and packaging expectations
- Required datasheets, manuals, certificates or test reports
Comparison Matrix
What to Compare Before Sample or Bulk Order
Use the table as a decision filter before narrowing products.
| Buying factor | Why it matters | What to ask | Next page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door compatibility | Wrong mortise or thickness assumptions cause installation risk. | Ask for review based on real door photos and drawings. | /support/installation/ |
| Material and finish | Different environments need different material and finish discussion. | Ask how SUS304, finish and exposure affect selected models. | /materials/ |
| Technology package | Not every model supports every unlock method or app option. | Ask which functions apply to selected configuration. | /resources/technology-guides/ |
| Quality evidence | Report availability may vary by model, target market and final configuration. | Ask for report list by SKU and market. | /support/quality-certifications/ |
| OEM/ODM scope | Private label and packaging can change sample and production route. | Ask what can be confirmed before sample. | /resources/oem-odm-guides/ |

What should a buyer prepare before contacting SivoLock?
Prepare door type, thickness, opening direction, quantity, target market, preferred functions, app option, document needs and available door photos or drawings.
Should I ask for the lowest price first?

Can SivoLock support sample orders?
Sample discussion can be supported after model direction, finish, app option, packaging and document requirements are clear.
