Communication between smartphone and door is wireless. You are free to choose the design of the door, as the wireless technology is concealed behind the lock faceplate.

The smart solution for detached houses, small businesses, practices, law firms, etc.! The doorControl app offers you: EASY OPERATION: Convenient door locking control with your smartphone. EASY MANAGEMENT OF ALL ASPECTS: Organise access authorisations for 100 users and 20 groups with just one app. BLOCK KEYS WITH JUST A FEW CLICKS: Deactivate access authorisations in no time at all.
