The FORGE H2 Slimline Aluminium Frame Smart Lock (FEUTSLMH2A) puts a fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card and app lock on a 30 mm-wide panel for narrow aluminium-frame doors - and its 30 mm low-profile inside handle keeps clear of a screen or security door close behind. A mechanical key is the backup.

Wi-Fi is built in: it joins your 2.4 GHz network directly and runs on FORGE's Forge Smart app on the Tuya platform, with no gateway. Remote unlock is request-based - a visitor presses the doorbell key and you approve it in the app. Choose your mortice backset at checkout from FORGE's sliding-door (20-35 mm) and swing-door (25-60 mm) options. It suits doors 40-100 mm thick, runs on 4 x AAA batteries and has an IP65 outside panel.

FORGE pitches the H2 at homes, apartments and private family access; for TTLock with a gateway, see the FORGE HL3. This H2 is not FORGE's H2 frameless glass handle lock. Made in China for FORGE, an Australian brand based in Ringwood, Victoria, with FORGE's 2-year warranty.

Access Methods

Access Method	Available	Details
Fingerprint	Yes - up to 100	On the outside panel.
PIN Code	Yes - up to 150	Touch keypad with an anti-peep option - add random digits around your code. Administrator codes are 6-12 digits.
RFID Card	Yes - up to 150	MIFARE M1 cards; two come in the box, and extra FORGE MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.
Forge Smart App	Yes - Wi-Fi	The lock joins your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and is managed in FORGE's Forge Smart app (or the Tuya app) - users, passwords, records and notifications.
Remote Unlock	On request	A visitor presses the # doorbell key and you approve the request in the app within 2 minutes - per FORGE's manual and its published comparison, Forge Smart remote unlock answers a request at the lock rather than opening on demand.
Mechanical Key	Yes	Keyhole on the outside panel - the backup if the batteries go flat. Two keys are included.

From the inside, press the lever down to open; lift the handles to throw the deadbolt. Dual verification (two credentials to open) can be switched on in the keypad's function menu.

Forge Smart (Tuya) App

Set the H2 up in FORGE's Forge Smart app, built on the Tuya platform, for iOS and Android . Register at least one administrator on the keypad first, then choose Australia and sign up with your email, give the app full permissions and turn Bluetooth on. The lock needs a 2.4 GHz network - 5 GHz is not supported. Add the module on the lock, choose Lock (Wi-Fi) and EZ Mode in the app (manual page 14). A generic Tuya pairing sheet shows the same steps in the Tuya Smart app.

Until an administrator is registered, the lock is in its initial state - the default code 123456 works and it opens to any fingerprint or code - so register yourself as soon as it is fitted (manual page 13).

Wi-Fi built in - remote unlock on request
Wi-Fi is built into the H2, so there is no gateway to buy. Remote unlock works on request: someone at the door presses the # doorbell key and you approve it in the app within 2 minutes (manual page 17). Per FORGE's published comparison, Forge Smart locks do not unlock on demand from off-site, have no scheduled passage mode in the app and no Alexa or Google, and FORGE offers no gateway or remote add-on for the H2. Online passwords (with day-of-week limits) and offline passwords (system-generated, first used within 24 hours), entry records, doorbell and low-battery notifications and Tuya automations all work from the app - see the Forge Smart (Tuya) platform in Chapter 15.

Which platform suits you is set out in our TTLock vs Tuya comparison and which smart lock platform is right for you. For a rental or office that needs on-demand remote unlock and scheduling, look at a TTLock model such as the HL3.

Key Features

• Ultra-slim 30 mm exterior panel for narrow aluminium door stiles, and a 30 mm low-profile inside handle for tight screen-door clearances.
• Mortice chosen at checkout: sliding-door backsets of 20, 28 or 35 mm; swing-door backsets of 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 60 mm; 304 stainless steel mortice.
• Fingerprint (up to 100), PIN code (up to 150), RFID card (up to 150), the Forge Smart app and a mechanical key.
• Wi-Fi built in on Forge Smart (Tuya) - no gateway; remote unlock on request from the # doorbell key.
• Keypad function menu: passage mode, dual verification, anti-pry alarm, mute and volume.
• Anti-peep codes; after five wrong attempts in a row the keypad locks for 90 seconds.
• IP65 outside panel with silicone-sealed protection; CNC-machined metal body.
• 4 x AAA alkaline batteries for up to about 12 months or 5,000 unlocks, a low-battery warning and a USB-C emergency port - what happens when the battery dies.
• For slimline aluminium frames and sliding doors - one of our app-enabled smart locks.

What's in the Box

Contents as listed on FORGE's H2 page. Fit 4 x AAA alkaline batteries - FORGE's manual says not to use NiMH or lithium-ion rechargeables. Extra MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.

Suitable Uses

• Narrow aluminium-frame doors where a standard smart lock is too wide (slimline smart locks).
• Entry doors with a security or screen door close behind - the 30 mm inside handle keeps the gap clear.
• Homes, apartments and private family access, per FORGE - app control and alerts over Wi-Fi without a gateway.
• Swing and sliding aluminium doors 40-100 mm thick with the matching mortice.

Not suitable for

• Rentals, offices and sites that need on-demand remote unlock, scheduling or a hand-held remote - choose a TTLock model.
• Doors thinner than 40 mm or thicker than 100 mm (FORGE's page).
• 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi - the H2 needs a 2.4 GHz network.
• Fully exposed doors - the outside panel is IP65.
• Frames too shallow for the mortice - check the frame depth against the case depth for your backset below.

Door Fit, Mortice and Backset

Choose your mortice backset at checkout. FORGE sells the H2 with a choice of mortice - swing-door backsets of 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 60 mm or sliding-door (hook) backsets of 20, 28 or 35 mm - measured from the edge of the door (or the faceplate) to the centre of the lock. Choose sliding for a sliding door and swing for a hinged door. How to measure backset.

Case depths are from FORGE's swing-door (240 x 22 mm faceplate) and sliding-door (270 x 22 mm faceplate) mortice size guides below.

Measure before you choose your backset

• Door stop or jamb overlap - how far the door stop or jamb overlaps the door edge. The handle base must clear it, so the backset has to leave room beside the lock.
• Frame depth - the depth of the door's frame section from its edge to the glass pocket. The mortice case has to fit inside it.
• Flush or surface-mounted faceplate - FORGE's calculator allows for either. A surface-mounted faceplate sits on the door edge instead of being recessed, which saves 2 mm of frame depth.
• Door thickness - 40-100 mm, per FORGE's page.
• Screen-door gap - the inside handle is 30 mm high and stands 30 mm proud; the outside lever stands 54 mm proud at the cylinder.
• Tight fits - where the numbers only just work, FORGE advises getting advice before you buy. Send us your measurements or a photo of the door edge and frame and we will check the backset with you.

FORGE's swing-door mortice size guide, as shown on FORGE's H2 page: the mortice for each backset from 25 to 60 mm, with case depths of 40 to 77 mm and a 240 x 22 mm faceplate.

FORGE's sliding-door (hook) mortice size guide, also shown on FORGE's H2 page: 20, 28, 35 and 45 mm backsets, case depths of 34 to 59 mm and a 270 x 22 mm faceplate.

FORGE links two cut-out templates from its H2 page: the 2585 swing mortise template (25 mm backset, 18 x 190 mm pocket) and the 2085 double-hook sliding mortise template (20 mm backset, 18 x 224 mm pocket). Adjust the pocket to the backset you order.

This product is in bold. All four take a mortice chosen at checkout from FORGE's backset options - check the frame depth and jamb overlap first. Door thickness and backsets are from FORGE's pages; panel widths from FORGE's drawings. The H2 slimline is a different product from FORGE's H2 frameless glass handle lock.

Accessories and Spares

Image	Accessory	Item Code	Use With This Lock
	FORGE MIFARE 1K RFID Card	FECARDGSLKA	Extra MIFARE 1K cards - the H2 stores up to 150.
	FORGE HL3 Slimline Hinged Door Smart Lock	FEUTSLMH3T	Not an accessory - the TTLock alternative if you need on-demand remote unlock and scheduling (37 mm panels).

FORGE offers no gateway or remote add-on for the H2 - Wi-Fi is built in. More cards and fobs are in the RFID credentials range.

Battery and Emergency Power

Power, warnings and backup
The H2 runs on 4 x AAA alkaline batteries in the inside panel - FORGE's page rates them at up to about 12 months or around 5,000 unlocks. Do not fit NiMH or lithium-ion rechargeables (manual page 10). The low-battery warning starts below 4.8 V with about 200 unlocks left, and the app sends a notification. If the batteries go flat, connect a power bank to the USB-C port with a USB-A to USB-C cable and unlock normally (manual page 18), or use the mechanical key. More on what really affects battery life and power and battery FAQs.

Weather Rating - IP65 Outside Panel

IP65 outside panel
FORGE rates the outside lock panel IP65 against rain and dust when correctly installed, with silicone-sealed protection on the inside - fit the silicone pad flush to the door (manual page 8). It is not designed for driving rain, salt spray or immersion; where the door takes the weather, a porch or awning helps. On the coast, read coastal environments and IP ratings explained.

FORGE H2 - Technical Specifications

Dimensions

FORGE's drawing of the H2: both panels are 320 mm high and 30 mm wide; the inside panel is 24 mm deep and the outside 27 mm; the levers are 125 mm long, standing 30 mm proud inside and 54 mm at the outside cylinder (manual page 2).

Check the door thickness (40-100 mm), the frame depth and the screen-door gap - see Door Fit above, and screen clearance in Chapter 02.

Platform and Data

Platform. The H2 runs on FORGE's Forge Smart app on the Tuya platform, with Wi-Fi built in - it joins your 2.4 GHz network directly, with no gateway. Remote unlock is request-based, per the manual and FORGE's published comparison.

Where your data goes. Tuya is a Chinese company headquartered in Hangzhou with regional data centres; by Tuya's own published country table, Australian accounts are provisioned to its Central Europe data centre, and there is no Australian data centre. The region the Forge Smart app uses for Australian accounts is being confirmed. For the platform-by-platform picture see where each smart lock platform hosts its data, and for how Tuya compares with TTLock data sovereignty in our TTLock vs Tuya comparison.

Installation

The H2 fits the mortice you choose into the door edge and clamps the two panels together through the door, with a data cable between them. The installation section of the manual runs through each step with drawings.

Installation Tips

• Cut the door profile to the template for your backset, and fit the mortice with the latch facing the closing direction - latch above, deadbolt below; the latch reverses by lifting the flap, pushing it in and turning it 180 degrees (manual page 6).
• Point both handles towards the hinge, with the spindle-hub orientation mark on the outside handle pointing the same way - if they disagree, the lock will not lock (manual page 7).
• Fit the outside handle with its silicone pad flush to the door for weather sealing, and feed the data cable through (manual page 8).
• Cut the spindle to stand 5 mm proud of the inside door face - too long and the lock will not lock (manual page 9; the spindle mistake in Chapter 12).
• Fit the inside panel and 4 x AAA alkaline batteries (manual page 10), then check: handles pressed down stay locked, lifting throws the deadbolt, 123456# then the handle opens, and the key works after a quarter turn (manual page 11).
• Terry's offers installation across the Gold Coast.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a gateway?
No - Wi-Fi is built in, and FORGE offers no gateway for the H2. It needs a 2.4 GHz network.

Can I unlock it from anywhere?
On request: a visitor presses the # doorbell key and you approve it in the app within 2 minutes. It does not unlock on demand without someone at the door.

Will it clear my screen door?
The inside handle is a 30 mm low-profile design for tight gaps between an entry door and a screen or security door - measure the gap where the handle sits.

Which backsets are offered?
Sliding doors: 20, 28 or 35 mm. Swing doors: 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 60 mm. Choose at checkout.

Is this the H2 glass door lock?
No - this is FORGE's ultra-slim aluminium-frame H2. FORGE's H2 frameless glass handle lock is a different product.

Additional Information

• Register an administrator straight away. Until then the H2 is in its initial state and opens to any fingerprint or code.
• Use a 2.4 GHz network. 5 GHz is not supported - if your router combines bands, pair on the 2.4 GHz band.
• Remote unlock is a request, not a button. Someone has to press the doorbell key at the lock for you to approve.
• Check the frame before choosing a backset. The jamb overlap and frame depth decide which mortice fits.
• Alkaline AAA only, and keep the mechanical keys away from the door (key storage ideas).
