Auslock Ultra Slim S31B — Smart Lock for Sliding Doors
The Auslock Ultra Slim S31B is the only model in the Auslock range built from SS304 stainless steel and rated to IP66 — making it the right choice for sliding doors where weather exposure, condensation, or coastal salt-air would degrade an aluminium panel over time. With a 280 mm × 38 mm panel, it is the slimmest profile in the range and fits narrow aluminium door stiles that cannot accommodate wider escutcheons. Confirm your longplate mortice door preparation before ordering.
The S31B provides five access methods — fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card, Bluetooth app, and mechanical key — managed via the Auslock App. Remote access, voice control, and real-time notifications are available via the optional G2 or G3 Gateway. The door type compatibility matrix covers which smart locks suit which door types. Available in Silver, Black, Gold, Grey, and White. For the hinged door version, see the S31B Hinged Door.
Sliding doors require specialised mortice configurations. If this product isn't right for your door, explore our smart locks for sliding doors.
In-stock orders typically dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Gold Coast warehouse.
Key Features
- SS304 stainless steel construction — every external component: body panels, battery cover, and cylinder cover plate. The only stainless steel model in the Auslock range; all others use aluminium or zinc alloy
- IP66 rated — dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets; the only Auslock model rated for direct outdoor exposure. See corrosion resistance grades
- Ultra-slim 38 mm panel — fits narrow aluminium door stiles from ~38 mm wide
- Hook mortice for sliding doors — rotating hook engages a frame catch when the sliding door closes; provides positive latching that resists forced entry and lever-over attacks that a standard latch bolt cannot match on a sliding door
- Fingerprint sensor — up to 200; permanent or timed. Keep sensor dry for outdoor use
- PIN code — up to 150; permanent, timed, one-time, custom, or recurring. Permanent codes must be used within 24 hours of creation
- RFID card/tag access — up to 200 cards; 3 RFID tags included
- Widest temperature range in the Auslock range — −30 °C to 60 °C
- Suits aluminium, timber, and UPVC sliding doors; 35–75 mm door thickness
- Field-reversible lever handle — independently adjustable on both panels. The panel arrow must point the same direction as the handle after adjustment — see FAQ
- USB emergency power port — connect a power bank if batteries are flat
- 4 × AA alkaline batteries — not included; low-battery alert below 4.5 V
- 5 finishes — Silver, Black, Gold, Grey, White
SS304 stainless steel and IP66 are the strongest specifications in the Auslock range for resisting salt-air, moisture, and direct rain on the exterior panel. For sheltered exterior sliding doors (interior face protected) this is the correct model. See coastal installation realities and corrosion resistance grades.

Sliding vs Hinged Mortice — Which Version Do I Need?
The S31B uses the same panel hardware for both door types — the distinction is in the mortice body supplied. A sliding door uses a hook mortice: when the sliding door closes, a rotating hook engages a catch in the door frame, providing positive latching that resists forced entry and lever-over attacks that a standard latch bolt cannot match on a sliding door. The hook bolt throw secures the door against lateral force. A hinged door uses a different body — see the S31B Hinged Door for the latch/bolt mortice variant.
Mortice — Hook Type (Sliding Door)
The S31B for sliding doors ships with a hook mortice — specifically designed for sliding door applications. When the sliding door closes, the rotating hook engages a catch in the door frame, providing positive latching and resistance to forced entry that a standard latch bolt cannot achieve on a sliding door. The hook bolt throw secures the door against lateral force. Available in 28 mm and 35 mm backset sizes; custom sizes available on request. Confirm your sliding door frame backset by measuring your backset before ordering.

Battery, Power & Backup
The S31B runs on 4 × AA alkaline batteries — not included. Alkaline only; lithium and rechargeable cells are not compatible. The low-battery alert fires below 4.5 V. For outdoor installations, battery drain accelerates in cold temperatures and high humidity. See what to expect from battery life in practice and Chapter 13 — battery FAQ.
Connect a USB power bank to the front panel port if batteries are fully flat — temporarily powers the lock for PIN or fingerprint entry; does not charge batteries. Keep a power bank accessible outside for this scenario.
Remote App Access & Gateway
The S31B connects to the Auslock App via Bluetooth for local control. For remote access, real-time notifications, and voice control, an Auslock Gateway is required. See do you need a gateway?
Auslock App
The S31B uses the Auslock App, available on iOS and Android. This is Auslock's own proprietary platform — not TTLock, not Tuya. Remote access requires an Auslock G2 or G3 Gateway.
Frequently Asked Questions
The external panel is IP66-rated and SS304 stainless steel — it handles direct rain, jet water, salt-air, and condensation on the exterior face. The IP66 rating applies to the external panel only. The interior unit (batteries) is not IP-rated. Not suitable for external pedestrian gates where the interior face is also exposed to weather. The McGrath Ascot is the only battery-operated digital smart lock in Terry's range confirmed for external gate use. See IP ratings explained, corrosion grades, and coastal installation realities.
Loosen the inner hexagon screw on the front panel counter-clockwise, remove the handle, reinsert in the correct position for your door handing, then retighten. Repeat on the back panel independently. Critical: the arrow moulded into the panel face MUST point in the same direction as the handle after adjustment. If misaligned, the motor will drive the hook in the wrong direction. See Chapter 12 — misalignment errors.
Permanent passcodes must be tested within 24 hours of creation, otherwise they auto-expire. Create the code, test it immediately, and it will remain active indefinitely.
Wet fingers, condensation on the sensor, and low battery voltage all degrade outdoor recognition. Keep the sensor clean and dry; wipe with a dry cloth before use. Delete and re-enrol at 2–3 different angles. Replace batteries. See fingerprint access tips.
Confirm AA batteries are inserted with correct polarity. Check the wire connection between front and back panels. Inspect the cable for kinks. See DIY install mistake 1 and mistake 2.
Additional Information
Register via the Auslock App while beside the lock; 4 scan presentations required; enrol at 2–3 angles. For outdoor installs, register after the lock reaches ambient temperature. Monitor recognition — if it degrades, check battery voltage and sensor cleanliness. See Chapter 03 — fingerprint access.
The S31B's 38 mm panel is narrower than any other Auslock model. Measure your door stile width before ordering. The screen door clearance guide covers the same measurement for security screen installations.
Confirm your door prep format before ordering. Apply lubricant to all mechanical moving parts at installation. Read the common DIY install mistakes before starting. See Chapter 12 — DIY suitability guide.
IP66 and SS304 address water ingress and corrosion, but electronic locks are not set-and-forget outdoors. Battery drain accelerates in cold. Keypad surfaces accumulate salt and grime. Fingerprint sensors degrade with moisture. Read the realistic maintenance expectation before installing outdoors. See how coastal conditions affect smart lock lifespan.
