Smart Lock App and Gateway Questions
App-enabled does not describe the whole system. Buyers should clarify local connection, gateway requirements, account ownership and operating workflow before quotation.
Preferred platform, target country and phone operating systems
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or gateway connection expectation
Remote unlock, temporary PIN, logs and notification requirements
Master-account owner, sub-admin roles and device-transfer process
Decision Context
What This Guide Helps You Confirm
Some smart locks use Bluetooth for nearby management, while remote functions may require a separate gateway or Wi-Fi-enabled configuration. The available behavior can differ between TTLock, Tuya and other platforms.
For project use, define who creates the master account, how devices are transferred, who can view logs and what happens when a property changes operator. These questions matter as much as the phone-screen design.

Supporting Evidence
Connect the Written Checklist to the Real Product or Door
Use the selected model, representative door and available documents together. Avoid treating a generic image, one feature name or one test value as a complete purchasing decision.
- Keep the candidate model and configuration visible.
- Use labeled photos or drawings instead of loose descriptions.
- Record uncertain items for confirmation before quotation.
- Retain the approved evidence for sample and production review.
Decision Table
App and Gateway Requirement Matrix
Use the table to compare options on the same physical, operational and evidence basis.
| Requirement | Question to ask | Possible dependency | Evidence to review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remote management | Must the administrator control locks away from the property? | Gateway, Wi-Fi configuration and cloud service. | Supported function list and setup guide. |
| Temporary access | How are time-limited PINs or credentials created? | Platform, lock clock and account permissions. | Workflow demonstration on the quoted model. |
| Access records | Who can view logs and how long are they available? | Platform policy, synchronization and privacy settings. | App documentation and account-role explanation. |
| Device ownership | How is a lock transferred between accounts or operators? | Master account and reset procedure. | Handover checklist and reset instructions. |
Buyer Process
Confirm the Connected System Before Sampling
Move from site or project evidence to a documented model and supply decision.
Describe who manages which locks from which locations.
Identify functions that must work nearby, online or without network.
Set owner, administrator, staff and temporary-user responsibilities.
Run setup, transfer, temporary access, gateway and recovery workflows.
Keep app version, gateway model, firmware and account setup notes.
Evidence Boundaries
What This Guide Should Not Be Used to Assume
These cautions keep material, technology, installation and report language tied to the selected model and real site.
Verify the exact model, platform and gateway combination.
Review current platform terms, regional availability and update responsibility.
Plan ownership transfer before deploying locks to customers or managed properties.

Buyer FAQ
Questions Buyers Ask Before Confirmation
Answers stay cautious where model, market, door or final configuration can change the result.
Do I need a gateway for every smart lock?
Not necessarily. It depends on the platform, distance, building layout and remote-function requirements.
Can one app manage many locks?
Often yes, but capacity, roles, site grouping and gateway design should be tested for the selected platform.
Can SivoLock build a custom app?
Custom app or branding discussions depend on project scope, selected platform, quantity and technical requirements.
Ready to Confirm?
Describe the management workflow, not just the app name.
Share the number of locks, user roles, remote needs and preferred platform so the app and gateway questions can be tied to a selected configuration.
Inquiry Preparation
Turn this guide into a clear supplier inquiry.
Summarize the relevant facts in your RFQ, attach supporting files, and request confirmation for the selected model.
Include application, door data, model preference, quantity, market and the exact document or evidence requested.
Door photos, measurements, drawings, sample records and artwork files reduce back-and-forth.
If the article mentions a report, certification, IP rating or test, request availability for the exact SKU.
| Decision area | Confirm before quotation | Claim boundary |

| Follow-up | Continue with the relevant product, material or support information after listing the open questions. | Keeps unresolved requirements visible for supplier confirmation. |
Can this guide replace a final datasheet?
No. Use it to prepare the buying conversation, then confirm selected-model values, reports and packaging details from the latest SivoLock response.
What happens when a value is not available yet?
Leave it open and mark it as configuration-dependent. Do not turn missing certification, IP, factory or test evidence into a public claim.
Send the confirmed inputs and keep any missing proof as an open request. SivoLock can respond with model-specific options, document availability and quotation questions.
