Latch Lock
Switching to the Igloohome Smart Lock
Our Igloohome smart lock comes in 2 models – the Latch and the Deadbolt.
Latch Lock
The latch comes with a built-in handle and springs back into place once the handle is released. As it is spring-loaded, the door is held in place once it is shut. This type of lock is often attached on the door (rim mounting). A circular hole still needs to be cut into the door so that the keyhole can be accessed on the other side of the door.
Both models require 2 holes to be cut into the door.
We produced 2 models of the Igloohome smart lock to suit the preferences of different customers. Also, the different models provide greater flexibility when it comes to switching from your existing lock to our smart lock. There is no difference in the software for both models.
The latch model locks automatically once the door is shut, whereas the bolt model does not – instead, there is an option to enable auto-relocking (when the bluetooth key or PIN code is used). You can configure the pre-set time before auto-relocking kicks in (5-120 seconds).
Making The Switch to igloohome
If You Have An Existing Latch
Replace the existing latch with the igloohome smart lock (latch model) at the same location – do note that this is subject to installation assessment (done after purchase), but it is usually a straightforward process to swap out the existing latch with ours.
If You Have A New Door
Install the igloohome smart lock (latch model) on your door, and it provides both the handle and the locking mechanism.
When you purchase our lock, we will request that you send us photos of your door so that we can assess your door and existing lock-set up. We will then highlight to you if there are any areas of concern. Otherwise, installation should proceed without a hitch!
