The FORGE H1S Double-Sided Outdoor Gate Smart Lock (FELKH1SS) puts a fingerprint reader, PIN keypad and RFID card reader on both handles, so the gate stays locked from either side until someone uses a credential - why double-sided matters on a gate. It runs on the TTLock app and comes in black (FELKH1SBA) or silver (FELKH1SSA).

It is the compact one of FORGE's gate locks: each handle is 182 mm tall and about 43 mm wide, and each runs on its own 3 V CR123 battery - FORGE rates them at 6 to 12 months - and if they go flat, a power bank on the external USB-C port gives the lock temporary emergency power, with the mechanical key as a second backup. It suits timber and aluminium gates and doors 35-100 mm thick, swing or sliding with a compatible mortice, and FORGE makes the mortice in backsets from 28 to 60 mm - you choose yours at checkout.

FORGE rates the H1S IP66 for exposed outdoor gates. Add the FORGE TTLock G5 gateway (sold separately) for remote unlocking and code management from anywhere. It is made in China for FORGE, an Australian brand based in Ringwood, Victoria, and carries FORGE's 2-year warranty.

TTLock App

TTLock logo

Set the lock up in the free TTLock app, available for iOS and Android iOS App StoreAndroid Google Play. Choose Australia as your location when you sign up, give the app full permissions and turn Bluetooth on. Until the first administrator is added the lock is in its factory state - the default admin code is 123456 and any fingerprint will open it - so pair it as soon as it is fitted. FORGE's TTLock pairing guide shows the steps; keep your phone within 2 metres while pairing. The introduction pages of the manual cover the same ground for this model.

TTLock is one of the two global smart lock platforms - how it compares with Tuya is set out in our TTLock vs Tuya comparison, and the wider TTLock range in Chapter 14 - the TTLock hardware ecosystem. The app itself is covered in the TTLock app user manual.

TTLock
Bluetooth at the gate, remote with a gateway
Without a gateway the H1S is managed over Bluetooth when your phone is near the gate - see what a TTLock lock can do without Wi-Fi. FORGE offers the FORGE TTLock G5 gateway as the add-on for remote Wi-Fi management and unlocking: with it plugged in within range you can unlock on demand from anywhere, change codes, check records and set a passage-mode schedule remotely - Bluetooth vs gateway in Chapter 14. Remote Unlock has to be switched on in the app and Power Saving Mode turned off.

Key Features

  • Double-sided: fingerprint, PIN and card on both handles, and both handles stay locked until a credential is used - nobody can reach over the gate and open it from inside (the benefits on gates).
  • Fingerprint (up to 200), PIN code (up to 150) and RFID card (up to 200 M1 cards) - compare them in Chapter 03.
  • Bluetooth unlock from the TTLock app within about 5-10 metres; add the G5 gateway for Wi-Fi remote access from anywhere (the G5 gateway explained).
  • Compact aluminium-alloy handles, 182 mm tall and 43.28 mm wide, on a mortice FORGE makes in backsets from 28 to 60 mm (choose yours at checkout); lift the handle to throw the deadbolt.
  • Swing or sliding gates and doors with a compatible mortice, timber or aluminium, 35-100 mm thick.
  • One 3 V CR123 battery in each handle, rated at 6 to 12 months, with an external USB-C port for emergency power from a power bank and a mechanical key as backups - what happens when the battery dies.
  • Forced Fingerprint - a duress fingerprint that opens the lock and sends the administrator an alarm notification. It is for emergencies, not daily use.
  • Passcodes, fingerprints and cards can be permanent, time-limited or recurring; passcodes can also be one-time.
  • Passage Mode - scheduled in the app, and FORGE gives each keypad its own passage shortcut so the two sides can be set independently (what passage mode does).
  • Reversible handing - the handles swap direction for left- or right-hand gates, and the latch turns around for gates that open inward or outward.
  • After five wrong attempts in a row the lock ignores all input for 90 seconds, and it goes back to sleep after 20 seconds without use.
  • Built for gates exposed to rain: rated IP66 inside and out; one of our app-enabled smart locks.

The TTLock G5 gateway, the TTLock remote, the FORGE weather cover and extra MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.

Suitable Uses

  • Front, side and courtyard gates on homes and townhouses - see where gates sit in the door type compatibility matrix.
  • Timber and aluminium gates and outdoor doors 35-100 mm thick, with a gate frame wide enough for the mortice backset you choose.
  • Gates you can reach over or through - a credential is needed on both sides, so a visitor can't let themselves in from inside.
  • Short-stay rentals and shared entries - a code per guest that expires on its own, managed remotely once a G5 gateway is added - see gate locks in our platform guide.
  • Staff and service entrances that need recurring codes, cards and entry records.
Not suitable for
  • Exit paths where people must get out without a credential - both handles are locked (double-sided locks and exit paths). Consider the single-sided H10S.
  • Pool barrier gates - FORGE does not state that this lock meets pool-barrier requirements, which call for a compliant self-closing, self-latching gate (pool gates explained).
  • Gates and doors thinner than 35 mm or thicker than 100 mm, or gate frames too narrow for the backset you need.
  • Fire-rated doors - FORGE does not quote a fire rating for this lock.

Gate Fit, Mortice and Backset

Choose your mortice backset at checkout. FORGE makes the H1S mortice in backsets of 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 60 mm, measured from the edge of the gate to the centre of the handle; choose the one that suits the width of your gate frame - how to measure backset and what to do about a narrow gate post. FORGE says the lock suits swing and sliding gates and doors with a compatible mortice.

The H1S has its own 28 mm backset drill template: a single 25 mm spindle hole and two 10 mm connection holes that can go anywhere in a band 50-95 mm above the handle centre, with an 18 x 190 mm mortice pocket. If the faceplate is surface-mounted the door-edge line moves out by 2 mm. It is not interchangeable with the templates for FORGE's H1 or H10 locks.

Backset (choose at checkout) Mortice case depth
28 mm 43 mm
30 mm 46 mm
35 mm 51 mm
40 mm 57 mm
45 mm 60 mm
50 mm 66 mm
60 mm 77 mm

Case depths and the 240 x 22 mm faceplate are from FORGE's swing-door mortice size guide below.

Measure before you choose your backset
  • Gate frame width - the outside width of the frame section at the lock position, such as the face of the RHS. Not the overall width of the gate.
  • Gate frame thickness - the outside depth of the section at the lock position, not the steel wall thickness. The H1S suits 35-100 mm.
  • Closed gap at the latch - measure between the gate and the post with the gate shut. FORGE recommends 10 mm or less; the latch projects 12 mm.
  • Faceplate mounting - the mortice faceplate can sit flush in the edge of the gate or be surface-mounted. FORGE allows 2 mm for a surface-mounted faceplate and 1.2 mm for the latch plate on the post; both close the gap the latch has to cross.
  • FORGE's checklist - confirm the gate-frame width, mortice depth, gate-to-post gap and installation clearances before ordering. Send us your measurements or a photo of the gate frame and we will check the backset with you.

Battery and Emergency Power

Power, warnings and backup
Each handle runs on its own 3 V CR123 battery, behind a waterproof cover under the handle (manual page 11). FORGE rates them at 6 to 12 months; they are not included, so buy two with the lock. When a battery runs low the lock warns you as you unlock, with roughly 50 to 100 unlocks left - replace it then. If the batteries do go flat, FORGE's external USB-C port lets a power bank give the lock temporary emergency power so you can get in, and the mechanical key is the other backup. More on what really affects battery life and power and battery FAQs.

Weather Rating - IP66 Inside and Out

IP66 weather ratingIP66 weather rating
IP66 inside and out
FORGE rates the H1S IP66 for exposed outdoor gates - powerful water jets, rain, sun and dust. FORGE rates both the external and internal panels IP66. The rating does not cover extreme exposure such as driving rain, hail, constant salt spray, flooding or immersion, and FORGE recommends a rain hood where the lock takes the weather head-on - the FORGE weather cover fits over the handle (non-warranty disclaimer). FORGE also makes the IP68 H100 for the harshest sites. On the coast, read coastal environments and what corrosion grades mean.

FORGE's drawing of the H1S: each handle 182 mm high and 43.28 mm wide (46.24 mm at the base), 22.68 mm deep (30.02 mm at the base); the lever is 136 mm long, 25 mm thick and projects 76 mm. FORGE also supplies it as a PDF. Check your gate frame and backset before ordering.

Platform and Data

Platform. The H1S runs on TTLock - Bluetooth to your phone, with the TTLock G5 gateway for remote access. The H1 gate lock is also sold in a Forge Smart (Tuya) version with Wi-Fi built in, and the H100 runs on Forge Smart, if you would rather a gate lock that needs no gateway.

Where your data goes. TTLock is run by Sciener, a Chinese company. Accounts outside China use TTLock's out-of-China servers; where that infrastructure is hosted, and which region Australian accounts use, is not published - in short, a Chinese company's servers, location unpublished. For the platform-by-platform picture see where each smart lock platform hosts its data, and for TTLock's security record see Chapter 14 - TTLock security.

Installation

The H1S fits a mortice into the edge of the gate and clamps the two handles together through it, with a data cable running between them. FORGE's template is a guide to adjust to the backset you order, and the installation section of the manual runs through each step with drawings.

Installation Tips
  • Fit the mortice with the latch facing the closing direction - latch on top, deadbolt below. To reverse the latch, lift the flap, push the latch in and turn it 180 degrees (manual page 6).
  • To change handing, undo the handle screw, turn the handle and refit it, then set the notch on the spindle hub as the manual shows (manual page 7). If you are not sure which way the notch should face, check with us before fitting.
  • Cut the spindle so it stands 4 mm proud of the inside face of the gate, and lock the pin in the hub hole (manual page 9; the spindle mistake in Chapter 12).
  • Fit a CR123 in each handle and refit the waterproof covers before testing.
  • Afterwards check that both handles stay locked when pressed, lifting a handle throws the deadbolt, 123456# plus the handle unlocks, and the key turns the spindle (manual page 11; misalignment causes).
  • Not sure about doing it yourself? See when to DIY and when to call an installer - Terry's offers installation across the Gold Coast.

Which way a gate is handed is explained in how to tell which way your door or gate opens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a gateway?
Not for everyday use. Fingerprint, PIN and card entry work with no phone at all, and the app works over Bluetooth within about 5-10 metres. Add the FORGE TTLock G5 gateway if you want to unlock, change codes or check records from away from home - what a gateway actually does.
Which backset do I need for my gate?
It depends on the width of the gate frame where the lock goes - the handle has to sit on the frame and the mortice has to fit inside it. FORGE makes the H1S mortice in backsets from 28 to 60 mm, and you choose yours at checkout. Measure the outside face of the frame at the lock, its depth and the closed gap at the latch (FORGE recommends 10 mm or less) - see Gate Fit and measuring your lock backset - or send us photos and we will check it.
Do I need a code to get out as well as in?
Yes - it is a double-sided lock, so both handles stay locked and a fingerprint, code, card or the app is needed on either side. That stops someone reaching over the gate and letting themselves in. Passage Mode can leave it unlocked during set periods.
What batteries does it use?
One 3 V CR123 in each handle, which FORGE rates at 6 to 12 months. They are not included. If they go flat before you replace them, plug a power bank into the external USB-C port for temporary emergency power, or open the gate with the mechanical key.
Can it go on a fully exposed gate?
FORGE rates the H1S IP66 inside and out for exposed outdoor gates. Its rating does not cover driving rain, hail, constant salt spray or immersion, and FORGE recommends a rain hood - the FORGE weather cover - where the lock takes the weather head-on.

Additional Information

  • Register an administrator straight away. Until the first administrator is added in the app, the default admin code is 123456 and any fingerprint will open the lock. A factory reset puts it back into that state.
  • Choose the right backset at checkout. The mortice backset has to suit the gate frame - measure it as the Gate Fit section shows before you choose; the wrong one will not fit.
  • Set the hub mark and cut the spindle. A spindle-hub mark pointing the wrong way, or a spindle left too long, is the usual reason a newly fitted gate lock will not lock.
  • Keep the mechanical keys away from the gate - in the house or the car - so they are there if the battery fails (key storage ideas).
  • Buy two CR123 batteries with the lock. One goes in each handle and none are included.

FORGE H1S Double-Sided Gate Smart Lock - FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide

Everything below is here to help you choose, fit, set up and live with the FORGE H1S. For general smart lock questions see our Smart Lock FAQ (Chapter 13), and for measuring and fitting the Buyer's Guide.

Choosing a FORGE Gate Lock

How do FORGE's gate locks differ?
The H1 is double-sided, IP65 on both panels, runs on a 2,000 mAh rechargeable battery and comes in TTLock or Forge Smart (Tuya) versions. The H1S is the compact double-sided model, IP66, with a CR123 battery in each handle and a larger fingerprint store (200). The H10D is double-sided and IP66 with glass keypads and a rechargeable battery; the H10S is the same lock with a keypad on the outside only and free exit inside. The H100 is FORGE's IP68 model for the harshest sites, on Forge Smart (Tuya).
Double-sided or single-sided - which do I need?
If anyone can reach over or through the gate to the inside handle, you need double-sided - otherwise a visitor can simply open it from inside. Single-sided suits gates and doors where the inside handle can't be reached from outside and people must be able to walk out without a code. The single-sided problem on gates explains it.

Gate Fit, Backset and Mortice

Which backsets can I get?
FORGE makes the H1S mortice in 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 60 mm backsets. Choose the one that suits the width of your gate frame at checkout - the Gate Fit section on this page shows how to measure.
Does it suit sliding gates?
FORGE says the H1S suits swing and sliding gates and doors with a compatible mortice, and its H1S page shows both its swing-door and sliding-door (hook) mortice size guides - both are in the Gate Fit section and the Dimensions tab. The backsets offered at checkout are the swing-door ones, so for a sliding gate check the mortice with us before you order.
Can I use the H1 or H10 template for the H1S?
No - the H1S has its own 28 mm drill template: a single 25 mm spindle hole and two 10 mm connection holes placed anywhere in a band 50-95 mm above the handle centre.

Credentials and Access

How do I get a fingerprint to register reliably?
Press the finger firmly on the sensor several times when prompted, moving it slightly each time so the lock captures different areas. Avoid wet fingers. Older people can have flatter fingerprints - register the same finger more than once. Children's fingerprints change as they grow, so update them every few months or give them a passcode.
What is a Forced Fingerprint?
A duress fingerprint. You register it like any other, but when it is used the administrator receives an alarm notification. It is meant for an emergency where someone is forcing you to open the gate, not for daily use.
What kinds of passcodes can I create?
Four: time-limited, one-time (it must be used within 6 hours of being created), permanent and recurring. Time-limited, permanent and recurring codes must be used once within 24 hours of their start time or the lock suspends them. Codes are generated by the app and can be customised afterwards (manual page 14; Chapter 14 - passcode types).
Which RFID cards does it use?
M1 (MIFARE 1K) cards, up to 200. Two come in the box, and extra FORGE MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.
What is an eKey?
An eKey gives another TTLock account the right to unlock - time-limited, one-time, permanent or recurring - with options for remote unlock, an unlock link that works without the app, or near-administrator rights (TTLock eKeys).

Remote Access and the G5 Gateway

What does the G5 gateway add?
The FORGE TTLock G5 gateway links the lock's Bluetooth to your home Wi-Fi. Per FORGE's published comparison, TTLock with a gateway gives on-demand remote unlock, scheduled passage mode, Alexa and Google support (FORGE does not recommend voice unlock) and property-management integration, plus remote codes, eKeys and records.
Where should the gateway go?
Within reliable Bluetooth range of the gate, on a power point with good Wi-Fi coverage - brick, metal and distance shorten the range, and gates are often at the edge of the house's Wi-Fi. See gateway placement; the G5 is dual-band (the G5 in Chapter 08).
Remote unlock is not working - what should I check?
That Remote Unlock is switched on and authorised for that user, Power Saving Mode is off, and the gateway is online (manual page 18). If it keeps dropping out, see why smart locks drop off Wi-Fi.
What still works if the internet goes down?
Everything at the gate - fingerprint, code, card, Bluetooth app unlock and the key. Only the remote functions pause (gateways and internet outages).

Setup and Pairing

How do I start?
Install the free TTLock app iOS App StoreAndroid Google Play, sign up choosing Australia, allow permissions and turn on Bluetooth. Touch the keypad until it says "Please add a Bluetooth administrator", then add the lock in the app (manual page 13). FORGE's TTLock pairing guide shows the screens; keep your phone within 2 metres.
What is the default code, and why does it matter?
Out of the box the default admin code is 123456, and until an administrator is registered any fingerprint will open the lock. Register yourself as administrator as soon as the lock is fitted.

Power and Batteries

How long do the CR123 batteries last?
FORGE rates them at 6 to 12 months. There is one in each handle, under a waterproof cover held by a screw (manual page 11). They are not included.
How do I know the battery is low?
The lock warns you when you unlock, with roughly 50 to 100 unlocks left - replace the CR123 soon.
The batteries are flat and I'm outside - how do I get in?
Plug a power bank into the external USB-C emergency power port to give the lock temporary power, or use the mechanical key - then replace the CR123s.

Installation

The lock will not lock after fitting - what is wrong?
Usually one of two things: the spindle-hub orientation mark is pointing the wrong way, or the spindle is too long and rubs on the clutch. The mark must point the same way as the handle on both sides, and the spindle should stand 4 mm proud of the inside face.
How do I change the handle direction?
Undo the handle screw, turn the handle and refit it, then set the notch on the spindle hub as the manual shows. If you are not sure which way the notch should face, check with us before fitting.
How do I reverse the latch for a gate that opens the other way?
The latch always sits on top and the deadbolt below. Lift the flap on the mortice, push the latch in below the faceplate and turn it 180 degrees so it faces the closing direction.
Can I install it myself?
A handy person with the right tools can - the manual covers the template, mortice, handles, spindle and battery step by step. On a narrow steel or aluminium gate frame an installer is usually quicker; Terry's offers installation across the Gold Coast.

Security, Lockout and Reset

What happens if someone keeps trying wrong codes?
After five wrong attempts in a row the lock stops responding for 90 seconds.
How do I factory reset the lock?
Take the lock off the gate, open the bottom covers, hold the reset button until the lock asks for the initialisation password, then enter 000# - on both handles (manual page 19). A reset returns the lock to its factory state - default code 123456, any fingerprint opens - so register a new administrator straight away.
Where should I keep the mechanical keys?
Away from the gate - in the house, the car or with a trusted neighbour - so they are there if the battery fails. A key safe works too.

Passage Mode and Everyday Use

How does Passage Mode work?
Schedule it in the app, or use the shortcut on each keypad - FORGE lets the two sides be set independently. During a scheduled period, unlock the gate once by hand and it stays unlocked until the period ends.
Can I see who has opened the gate?
Yes - the app keeps entry records; with a gateway (TTLock) you can check them from anywhere.

Weather and Outdoor Use

Should I fit the weather cover?
On any gate where the lock takes rain from above, yes. The FORGE weather cover is galvanised steel, fitted above the handle with silicone, and sold singly - a double-sided gate exposed on both sides needs two.
Is it suitable near the coast?
FORGE's disclaimer names salt spray as beyond what the rating covers, and fading, dulling or minor oxidation of the finish over time as normal ageing rather than a defect. Keep it out of direct salt spray and read coastal environments.

Warranty and Claims

What warranty does it have and how do I claim?
FORGE's 2-year warranty from the date of delivery, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Claims go through us - start with our Returns and Warranty page with your proof of purchase. Water damage beyond the IP66 rating and normal wear, including finish fading, are excluded.

Important Notes

Outdoor Installations
In unusually harsh or exposed locations, FORGE strongly recommends fitting a rain cover or protective hood over the lock to shield it from direct weather and driving rain. If your product has been exposed to water, contact us for support.
