Narrow-frame door selection
Aluminum Profile Door Smart Locks for Narrow Frame Doors
Profile-door smart lock selection should begin with frame width, mortise, backset and handle direction before buyers compare functions.
This category is built for aluminum profile doors, narrow-frame entrance systems and project doors where standard smart lock bodies may not fit cleanly.
Measure the frame before selecting functions, finish or app options.
Panel width, screw position and handle clearance must be checked early.
Profile doors often require specific mortise and backset planning.
Stainless steel supports a more durable B2B product position.
A11 source direction includes IP66 cues to verify, not a universal promise.
Frame drawings and cutout standards reduce sample mistakes.
Selection Guide
Match the Profile-Door Route Before Sampling
Choose the frame, mortise, installation and purchase route. The recommendation stays tied to measured door data and selected-model confirmation.

Recommended route
A11 profile direction: start with frame and mortise confirmation
For standard aluminum profile doors with known backset data, use A11 as the first profile-door conversation route. Confirm frame width, lock body, handle direction and selected-model documents before quotation.
- Send stile width, door thickness and backset values.
- Confirm mortise, spindle and screw position before sample.
- Check handle direction, app option and finish by selected model.
- Keep IP, report or certification requests tied to the final SKU.
Decision logic
Why Profile Doors Need Different Locks
A slim panel is only useful when the lock body, spindle, backset and frame clearance also work.
What is the usable profile width?
Confirm the door stile width, glass position and available screw area.
Where does the lock body sit?
Backset and center distance decide the mortise direction and drilling plan.
Which opening direction is required?
Left/right hand, inward/outward opening and handle orientation should be included.
Is this new production or retrofit?
Door factories and replacement projects need different evidence before sampling.
Frame width, backset and lock body detail decide whether a profile lock can be installed.
Model comparison
Representative Profile-Door Models
Compare the profile-door directions before moving into app, finish or packaging decisions.
A11 is a key profile-door reference; final fit still depends on frame and mortise data.
Use the table as a selection route, not a universal claim list.
Final specifications, app behavior, reports and accessory kits should be confirmed from the selected model and configuration.
- Confirm frame fit before selling generic smart lock features for profile doors.
- A11 source direction shows 40-90mm door thickness and Type-C emergency power cues to verify.
- App platform, IP rating and finish availability should be confirmed by SKU.
| Direction | Best fit | Structural checks | Confirm before quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| A11 profile direction | Aluminum profile and narrow-frame doors | Frame width, backset, mortise and 40-90mm door thickness direction | IP report, app option, handle direction and finish |
| A1 profile direction | Slim profile door projects | Panel width, handle clearance and lock body compatibility | Dimensions, mortise and report availability |
| A6 profile direction | Alternate profile-door style | Narrow frame and door production fit | Backset, app option, battery and finish |
| A2 waterproof direction | Exterior doors where waterproof rating leads | Wider outdoor doors or gates rather than very narrow frames | Door structure, IP evidence and mortise route |
Door-edge photos and frame drawings help confirm whether the smart lock body can fit.
Technical checks
Door Fit, Mortise and App Confirmation
A profile-door inquiry should read like a measurement checklist, not a feature wishlist.
| Checkpoint | Why it matters | Buyer should send |
|---|---|---|
| Frame width | Limits panel and handle placement | Stile width, glass distance and available screw area |
| Mortise / backset | Defines lock body compatibility | Mortise drawing, backset, center distance and old lock photos |
| Door thickness | Affects spindle and screw length | Measured thickness and target model direction |
| Function package | App and unlock options vary by model | Fingerprint, PIN, card, app, temporary password and backup key needs |
Evidence package
Profile-Door Evidence Package Before Sampling
Narrow-frame projects need measurement proof before buyers compare app, finish or logo options.
| Evidence to prepare | What it proves | SivoLock can confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Profile section drawing | Frame width, glass clearance and handle space | A11 or alternate profile route |
| Mortise and backset | Lock body depth, screw positions and cutout tolerance | Fit risk before machining |
| Door thickness and swing | Thickness range, left/right and inward/outward opening | Installation guide alignment |
| Finish sample need | Color match with aluminum profile and hardware | Standard or OEM finish path |

Inquiry checklist
Profile Door Smart Lock FAQ and Inquiry
The right profile-door lock is the one that fits the frame without forcing the installer to improvise.
Information to include
- Frame width, door thickness and door material
- Mortise, backset and current lock body photos
- Opening direction and handle orientation
- Indoor, outdoor or semi-exposed installation condition
- Target model, app option, finish and quantity
Can a standard smart lock fit an aluminum profile door?
Not always. Narrow frames often require profile-door models with compatible panel width, mortise and backset.
What is the most important measurement?
Frame width and backset usually decide the route first, followed by door thickness and mortise details.
Can profile-door locks be waterproof?
Selected profile-door directions may have outdoor or IP cues, but ratings and reports must be confirmed by SKU.
What should door factories send?
Send frame drawings, door thickness, cutout standards, opening direction and expected order quantity.
A drawing or door-edge photo usually answers more than a feature list.
Compare slim-panel and automatic profile-door options
Frame width, door thickness, mortise and access direction determine which independent model page to use.
