Buying and Installation Caveats:
- Most Xiaomi locks must use phone App for administration: If you are not the phone app type of person, don't use a Xiaomi lock!
- Xiaomi lock backset at 60mm: Xiaomi lock comes with 60mm backset; your existing lock may be 70mm. This means:
a) There may be a small gap on the side of the Xiaomi lock. We can putty that gap.
b) Single-leaf fire-rated door may have wider door frame and that could block the lock. - Watch the metal gate distance from door: Most Xiaomi locks' handle extends out by at least 80mm (please check). It may hit the metal gate and you have to leave the gate open.
- Multi-Lock hooks mortise: The Xiaomi Aqara S2 and Xiaomi Mijia mortise has "hooks" for multi lock configuration - something typical in China but not Singapore. We will cut off the hooks (normal practice).
- Wrong mortise / screws / shafts for the door width: Pay attention to your door width and corresponding screws and shafts. You are responsible to get this right with the seller (and not us).
- Missing items!: There are cases of missing parts when lock is delivered for lock models that offer options for mortise sizes and door thickness. Ask seller for photos of lock parts , mortise, plates, screws and shafts. Research and verify on your own (with seller).
- Don't try installing yourself: And don't ask your contractor either. It is difficult to diagnose and sometimes impossible to reverse a lock or door problem.
- Old HDB metal door frame (with concrete) If your HDB door is single leaf and the HDB door frame is the old school metal with concrete filled inside, we will need extra time and the rate will be higher than for standard installation.
