Which is better: Gateman WF20 or Gateman G-Swipe?

Sep 2019 Update: The Gateman Z10-IH has recently been updated with new firmware and rear body color (minor). It is also called Gateman G-Swipe .

This is a often asked question: what is the difference and which one is better - Gateman WF20 or Gateman G-Swipe (2019 updated model for Gateman Z10-IH).

Well, it depends. In general, they are both good locks in the small fingerprint digital locks industry. Gateman makes the best and proven fingerprint locks over the last 10 years. We like to say: buy the one that looks best to you because that may matter more to you (how it looks). But if you are looking for other perspectives, we drew up a table below for further inputs.

Again, they are both good locks. Just go for one that your buying profile dictates ( price range , looks). Sometimes the door won't allow any of these locks to be installed - so check with us first with a few pictures of the door (or a condo name) - before you deep dive into the differences.

​In summary, we believe Gateman G-Swipe delivers unparalleled premium build quality in the small fingerprint rim locks category. This is expected as Gateman is Korea’s #1 digital lock manufacturer and this company is dedicated to digital locks. In the non-premium category, the Gateman WF20 is definitely the one to go for as it shares some common attributes as the Gateman G-Swipe.
