Installation
DIY installing this digital lock is no easy feat, as it requires some experience with power tools.
It took me almost half a day to manually chisel a larger mortise hole, grinding of excess length, cabling, and app setup.
An experience door smith could do it half of the time.

This part of the review is not meant to be an installation guide, however i'll share my experience of installing the digital door lock here.

This is the original mortise lock provided the developer. The thickness is 36mm like most Malaysian door.
Although it is mentioned for 40mm to 80mm door, the black square spindle and some screw can be cut shorten to fit into the thinner door.
do u have any info or picture where you cut the length of the spindle to shorten it so that it can fit into the thinner 35 mm thick door?

I tested it by installing it first and see how much need to be cut.

you have to cut both end right because of the centering clip of the pin?
