Application Guides
Smart Lock Application Guides
Use application guides to choose smart lock directions by site condition, door type, user workflow and project evidence.
Application guidance should narrow door condition, exposure and workflow before recommending product direction.
Villa, apartment, hotel, gate and project door use cases have different priorities.
Profile doors, gates and replacement doors need physical fit review.
Guest, tenant, family and staff workflows change access method needs.
Photos, drawings and documents should follow the selected application.

Which application should I choose first?
Start with the real door and user workflow: villa, apartment, hotel, outdoor gate, profile door or project-door package.
