NEW YORK--Aqara, a leading provider for smart home products, expanded its smart door lock portfolio by releasing a new mortise-style lock, the D100 Zigbee, which is the brand’s third smart lock for the global market. Unlike the previous N100 Zigbee and A100 Zigbee which are more traditional handle locks, the new D100 Zigbee is a fully-automatic mortise lock allowing users to open the door without pushing a handle or turning a knob. The new model is designed to work with HomeKit including the latest home key feature, and it also supports unlocking via Google Assistant. The D100 Zigbee has landed in Singapore, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the availability is expected to expand in the following months to other countries/regions including Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, etc.

It also features a more sustainable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack. The detachable 2480mAh battery pack can be recharged via the USB-C port, and provides 12-month of battery life between each charge. A low battery alarm is supported, and even if the battery runs out, the lock can also be charged from outside via a USB-C power bank.

• The three-bolt lock body and the highly secured cylinder make the lock extremely resistant to break-in attempts;
• The controlling and security chips are placed in the inner lock panel, so that they won’t be tampered even when the outer panel is compromised;
• A mechanical knob is equipped, allowing the lock to be locked and unlocked from inside for improved security and for emergency exit;
• The tamper alert is both local and remote, which means that the built-in speaker will sound an alarm while a mobile notification will be sent to users in detection of tampering attempts;
• Auto-lock after the door is closed, and the door-left-open alert will be triggered if the door is open for over 10 seconds;
• A child-lock switch is placed above the unlock button, and once the switch is activated it prevents children from opening the door accidentally;
• Authentication will freeze for 3 minutes after 5 authentication failures and an abnormal attempt alert will be sent to users, so that a brute force attack is almost impossible;
• Random digits can be added before and after the password to protect it from peeping and smudge attack;
• All remote unlock keys including the remotely-generated passwords are secured with end-to-end encryption, and the encryption key is stored in the lock and the paired user mobile locally, allowing only this specific lock to decrypt.

​
Both Bluetooth 5.0 and Zigbee 3.0 are integrated with the D100 Zigbee lock. While the Bluetooth support enables the direct connection with mobile devices and Apple’s home hubs, it is the Zigbee integration that differentiates the D100 Zigbee on the market. When connected to a Zigbee 3.0 Aqara hub, the lock not only supports remote unlock via the Aqara Home app, but also links with other Aqara accessories to enable home automations. For example, with a press of the lock’s Away button on the keypad, users can arm Aqara Home’s Alert System where the security camera and the sensors become activated, and turn off the lights, ACs and other home appliances. With the broad portfolio of Aqara devices, users can create customized automations that suit their needs and home environments.

They are both good locks in the small fingerprint digital locks industry. Gateman makes the best and proven fingerprint locks over the last 15 years. Buy the one that looks best to you because that may matter more to you. If you are looking for other perspectives, we drew up a table below for further inputs.

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.

Summary, we believe Gateman G-Swipe delivers unparalleled premium build quality in the small fingerprint rim locks category. In many situations, Gateman Fingus is good enough for you. 

Side note: The Aqara A100 Smart Lock is now available in Singapore here at Interlock
​Link here >> interlock.com.sg/A100

Aqara, a leading provider for smart home products, announced the launch of its Smart Door Lock A100 Zigbee. The A100 Zigbee is a mortise-style smart lock that allows multiple access authentications including fingerprint, password, Aqara Home app, Apple HomeKit/Siri, Google Assistant, NFC, and mechanical key. Integrated with both Bluetooth 5.0 protocol - for the direct connection with mobile devices and home hubs from Apple - and Zigbee 3.0 protocol, the lock supports remote unlock* via Aqara Home app and other third-party platforms, and connects with other smart home devices* to create truly automated home experiences. The Aqara A100 Zigbee has come onto the market in Malaysia and Singapore, and the availability is expected to expand to Russia as well as selective countries in Southeast Asia and Middle East in the following months. ​

The Gateman G-Swipe is from iRevo, a company whose origin is Korea but has since became a core component of the international company called Assa Abloy (which by no coincidence owns the Yale brand which borrows lock designs from ... no price for guessing - none other than iRevo).  iRevo Gateman digital lock brand dominates the Korean market by 50% by some estimates, and if one has the time to inspect the locks, the reason is clear: solid build quality and attention to design details.

The Gateman G-Swipe exemplifies those qualities: it is heavy in the hands hinting at less plastic and more metal, a brushed matt touch panel surface that is more finger-stain resistant, large and brightly lit numbers for all age-group to use, a very sensitive fingerprint scanner, a double-action OPEN button to prevent use of objects for unlocking, a double-hook bolt for physical intrusion. Last but not least, a very modern new-age look to top it off.

The small footprint Gateman G-Swipe is ideal for Singapore - be it a HDB door or a condo door with a vertical door handle. All the wear and tear is localised to the existing door handle (and not the digital lock) - and Gateman G-Swipe does faithfully the locking and unlocking and maintain it's pristine look over years.

Where?

It is hard to spot the exquisitely designed Gateman Shine digital lock on a glass door on a shop front in Singapore.

Blending in so subtly on a glass panel is the key design point; it stays out of attention along public walkways.

Besides key card and pin code access, the lock can be fitted with a remote controller for the receptionist to unlock.

New 2020: it now sports a an extra master pin to prevent (other) staffs from making unauthorized changes to lock settings and card key and pin code registrations.

The private wine cellar at a residence in Leedon Park in Singapore requires more privacy and security to their wine collection. The room is temperature and humidity controlled and the entrance door is a glass aluminium framed swing out casement door. 

A Gateman fingerprint digital lock does this job well and security can be hardened to the point only authorised changes can be made by the person owning a special pin. Multiple pins and fingerprints can be created to allow staffs on premises to enter and if needed, access can be logged via a bluetooth application.

Only a few (perhaps no others) make digital locks like iRevo Gateman do. Despite years being the leading digital lock manufacturer in Korea, the company does not sit idle but continue to push the envelop around innovation and build quality.

Case in point: which other manufacturer make monocoque body ie. single piece like leading automobile makers for rigidity and strength against forced intrusion? Look at their internal frame below - a single piece!
