The Keyin-L (item code Keyin L) is a full-mortice smart lock with an integrated full-height pull handle — a single unit that replaces both the pull handle and the lock body on a new timber entry door. It is fire rated for two hours to Australian Standard AS1905.1-2015 and supports up to six access methods: capacitive PIN keypad, fingerprint reader, RFID card or fob, Bluetooth app, mechanical key override, and temporary PIN codes issued remotely via the Keyin Plus app. For a practical overview of how these access methods compare, see Chapter 03 — Access Methods: Side-by-Side Comparison.
Unlike push-pull smart locks mounted over existing hardware, the Keyin-L is built into the door mortice and the pull handle furniture is part of the lock body. This combined approach reduces door hardware cost and simplifies installation on new builds. A roller bolt or roller catch is recommended alongside the Keyin-L so the door latches closed when unlocked — the lock's motorised deadbolt controls security independently. For a detailed overview of how fire-rated smart locks are tested and certified, see our Buyer's Guide Chapter 05 — Fire Door Smart Locks.
The 4th-generation exterior panel uses a motionless design — there is no lever action on the outside face. The illuminated capacitive touchpad and fingerprint reader sit behind a slim gloss panel in a Black/Gold two-tone finish. The interior module houses the battery compartment, emergency power input, and inner forced-lockdown switch. App management is handled through the Keyin Plus platform (Android 8.0+ and iOS 13.0+).
The Keyin-L is a special-order item rather than a shelf line, so it is not covered by the same-day dispatch cutoff. Call Terry's before you order and we will confirm the current lead time for your finish and mortice option. If the timing is tight, ask about the fire-rated smart locks we hold in stock.
Traditional smart lock installations often require a separate architectural pull handle or push/pull furniture, which can add several hundred dollars to the door hardware cost. The Keyin-L integrates the smart lock and the full-height entrance pull handle into a single unit — an efficient solution for fresh-fit on a new timber door. Pairing it with a fire-rated roller bolt such as the dormakaba RB111 provides optimal day-to-day door function while the electronic deadbolt controls access.
Key Features
- Fire rated 2 hours — tested to AS1905.1-2015; suitable for fire-rated timber entry doors. See Chapter 11 — AS1905.1 explained
- Integrated full-height pull handle — lock body and pull furniture are one unit, replacing separate handle furniture on new installs
- Six access methods — PIN keypad, fingerprint (up to 99), RFID card/fob (up to 99), Bluetooth app, temporary PIN, mechanical key override
- Motionless 4th-generation exterior panel — no lever action on outside face; illuminated capacitive touchpad; Black/Gold two-tone finish
- Anti-peep PIN and scramble code — enter extra digits before or after your PIN to prevent shoulder surfing. See Chapter 03 — PIN access security features
- Anti-theft alarm — triggers on forced-entry attempts; EMP resistance built in
- Forced lockdown mode — internal and external lockdown switch; built-in fire alarm sensor
- Emergency 9V power input — jumpstart external power supply to the keypad when batteries are flat
- Low battery warning — audible and app notification before power failure
- Geofencing and Smart Pass — proximity auto-unlock and one-touch open via Keyin Plus app (Bluetooth range)
- Temporary PIN codes — timed or one-time PINs issued and revoked remotely via app; no gateway required for Bluetooth-range management
- RFID fobs and NFC stickers — included for tap-to-unlock access. See Chapter 03 — RFID credential types explained
- Wide door thickness range — 40-100 mm; additional fitting part required for doors 60 mm and above. See Chapter 02 — Door Thickness
- Available in Black/Gold two-tone finish
- BlinkLock two-stage locking — the latch bolt secures the door the instant it closes, then the motorised deadbolt throws on a timer, so there is no unlocked window between the door shutting and the motor running. Patented in Korea as 10-2021-0142258 and 10-2021-0133524 (GNJ catalogue, page 1)
- Motionless handle — the outside pull handle opens the door without being turned, pushed or pulled; there is no moving lever or thumb-piece on the external face to wear, catch or be forced
- Anti-panic push/pull bar on the internal body — the inside face carries a bar for leaving in a hurry rather than a small knob (Keyin-L specification deck, page 3)
- Two mortice types across the Keyin-L range — RA APAC and RAD. The mortice, face plate and strike dimensions on this page are the RA APAC mortice; confirm which one your order ships with before you prepare the door
- 7.5-degree angled comfort grip and unibody construction — the handle is raked rather than straight, and the external body is a single casting with a 3 mm in-mould-labelled bezel
Most motorised smart locks sense the door closing and then run a motor to throw the deadbolt, which leaves a short window where the door is shut but not yet locked. Keyin's BlinkLock arrangement splits the job in two: the latch bolt catches immediately on close, and the motorised deadbolt follows on a timed auto-lock. For a front door that gets used a dozen times a day, that removes the most common way a smart lock ends up sitting unlocked. Two Korean patents are cited for the mechanism (10-2021-0142258 and 10-2021-0133524). Source: GNJ Smart Homes catalogue, page 1. Auto-lock timing is set in the Keyin Plus app.

Suitable Uses
Fire Door Compliance
The Keyin-L mortice body is fire rated for two hours in accordance with Australian Standard AS1905.1-2015 (Components for the Protection of Openings in Fire-Resistant Walls and Floors — Door Sets). This makes it suitable for fire-rated timber entry doors in residential and low-rise applications. For certification context and to view fire test reports for smart locks available in Australia, see Fire-Rated Smart Lock Certification — AS1905.1 Test Reports. For an explanation of door core types (E-Core, Firecore, Pyropanel) and how they affect lock selection, see Chapter 05 — Fire Door Core Types and Fire Door Types and Smart Lock Certification. For QLD-specific compliance considerations including strata and body corporate requirements, see Chapter 11 — QLD Considerations. Before drilling any fire door, read our guide to asbestos risk in Gold Coast apartment fire doors. Always confirm fire door specification with your building certifier or certifying authority before specifying a lock — body corporate and strata managers may have additional requirements. See also our Buyer's Guide Chapter 05 — Fire Door Smart Locks for a full treatment of compliance, the one-penetration principle, and approved products.
Worth knowing where the two-hour figure comes from. The manufacturer's own specification deck for the Keyin-L describes the lock as fire-rated but does not name a standard, a rating period or a certificate number (Keyin-L specification deck, page 3), and no separate fire certificate accompanies it. The AS1905.1-2015 two-hour figure quoted above comes from Terry's own product record rather than that document. If your installation turns on the paperwork — a strata fire door, a certifier sign-off, a body corporate approval — ask Terry's for the test report before you order, and read which smart locks are actually certified for fire doors and how to identify a fire door first. For a lock whose certificate is already on file, see the Hafele DL8800 or the Carbine CEL2-3IN1 Fire Rated Leverset.


Keyin Plus App
The Keyin-L is managed through the Keyin Plus app, available on iOS 13.0 or later and Android 8.0 or later. ![]()
![]()
Within Bluetooth range, the app provides lock/unlock, geofencing-triggered auto-unlock (Smart Pass), temporary PIN code issuance, and access history. With a compatible WiFi bridge, remote access, live status updates, and remote key grant are also available — confirm bridge availability with Terry's before ordering. For guidance on whether a gateway adds genuine value for your situation, see Chapter 08 — Gateway Comparison (band-steering issues) and our blog on why smart locks drop off WiFi and how to fix it.
The legacy product listing also referenced future Alexa, SmartThings, and Apple Home integration. Confirm current smart home platform status with Terry's before relying on these integrations for your installation. For a comparison of smart lock app platforms and help choosing the right one for your situation, see Chapter 15 — Choosing Your App Platform, Which Smart Lock Platform Is Right for You — Residential, and the fire door platform considerations.
Keyin's own catalogue names four smart-home platforms for the range — SmartThings, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Tuya — with the footnote that smart-home integration requires the WiFi bridge, sold separately (GNJ catalogue, page 5). The same page names the app features by the labels you will see in Keyin Plus: Smart Touch (touch the keypad to unlock, no code or card), Smart Open (Bluetooth geofencing unlock on arrival), Family Keys (paired once, then online or off), Guest Keys (valid for a set duration, time of day and days of the week, sent by text or messaging app), Door Events (a live access log) and Security Alerts. Apple Home is not among the four platforms Keyin names, which is worth knowing if your house runs on HomeKit — ask us before you commit. Tuya and the other global platforms are compared in TTLock vs Tuya, and the wider data-residency picture is in Chapter 15 — Security and Data Sovereignty.
Battery and Power
The Keyin-L is powered by 4 x AA alkaline batteries. Expected battery life is approximately 12 months at 10 uses per day. Use quality alkaline batteries — avoid rechargeable NiMH cells, which have a lower voltage output that can cause erratic behaviour in smart locks. For battery management tips across smart lock platforms, see The Realities of Electronic Door Locks — Battery Life.
If batteries are completely flat, a standard 9V battery pressed against the external power contacts on the keypad panel will provide enough power to enter a PIN and retract the bolt. This gives you entry to replace the internal batteries. The lock issues a low-battery warning audibly and via app before failure — do not ignore it. See Mechanical Key Override — What to do when the battery dies. The 9V battery is not supplied with the lock — keep one where you can reach it from outside, not inside the locked house.
Full Specifications
Dimensions
Panel dimensions (external and internal bodies) and mortice body engineering drawings. Use the Dimensions tab for a full-screen view. Confirm your door's backset and door thickness before ordering — see also our guide to measuring a lock backset for smart locks.
The Keyin-L specification deck shows installation templates for both the RAD and RA APAC mortice types on its last page (page 6), but they are drawn at slide scale with no scale statement, so they will not come off a printer at 1:1. Mark the door from the physical mortice and strike, or have the door prepped by a locksmith — see Chapter 12 — When DIY Is Appropriate and Advice and Installation. The RA APAC mortice is the one dimensioned in the deck (page 5); the RAD option is named but never drawn.
Also Consider
Frequently Asked Questions
The Keyin-L is fire rated to AS1905.1-2015 (2-hour), making it technically compliant for fire-rated timber door sets. However, fire door applications in strata or apartment buildings involve additional considerations: body corporate approval, the one-penetration principle (Queensland), and the specific door leaf and frame certification. See our guide to Apartment Fire Doors — the one-penetration rule, Secondary Locks and the One-Penetration Principle, and Chapter 05 — Strata Fire Door Checklist for detail. Confirm with your certifier before proceeding.
Yes. The Keyin-L accommodates doors from 40 to 100 mm thick. However, doors 60 mm and above require an additional fitting part. Confirm this requirement and the part with Terry's before ordering for thick-door applications. It is also important to confirm your door's backset before ordering — the standard backset is 70 mm. See Chapter 02 — Measuring Your Backset and Chapter 02 — Door Thickness for measurement guidance, and our blog on how to measure a lock backset.
No — the Keyin Plus app works within Bluetooth range without any bridge. Geofencing, Smart Pass auto-unlock, temporary PIN issuance, and access history are all available via Bluetooth. A WiFi bridge is needed only if you want remote access (lock/unlock from anywhere) or live status updates when you are away from the property. Confirm bridge availability with Terry's. For a broader discussion of when a gateway adds genuine value versus when Bluetooth-only is sufficient, see Chapter 08 — What a Gateway Does and our blog on why smart locks drop off WiFi.
The anti-peep (also called scramble code) feature allows you to enter extra digits before or after your actual PIN without affecting the unlock. For example, if your PIN is 1234, you could enter 9912346 and the lock will still recognise the correct PIN sequence within the string. This prevents anyone watching you enter the code from learning your actual PIN. See Chapter 03 — Access Methods (PIN section) for more on PIN security features.
Press a fresh 9V battery against the external power contacts on the keypad panel. This provides enough temporary power to enter your PIN and retract the deadbolt. Once inside, replace the four AA batteries in the interior module. The lock will warn you well in advance — pay attention to low-battery alerts in the Keyin Plus app and the audible warning tones at the keypad. See also Mechanical Key Override — What to do when the battery dies for the full options.
Additional Information
The Keyin-L is best suited to new builds or complete door furniture replacements where the door is being prepped from scratch. Because the lock integrates the pull handle, retrofitting it onto a door that already has a separate handle means removing the existing handle furniture and potentially re-routing the mortice pocket. This is a locksmith job, not a DIY retrofit. For doors that already have a smart lock mortice prep and separate pull handle, a mortice-format smart lock with separate handle furniture is more practical — consider the Hafele DL8800 or dormakaba M5 BLE. See Terry's Site Survey and Installation Services if you want professional supply-and-fit, Chapter 12 — Common Installation Mistakes for guidance on avoiding common errors, and our blog on 3 common DIY smart lock installation mistakes.
The Keyin-L's motorised deadbolt is the security element, but it does not latch the door closed passively the way a traditional spring latch does. A roller bolt or roller catch fitted to the door stile keeps the door resting closed when the deadbolt is retracted (unlocked state), preventing drafts and maintaining door alignment. Without a roller bolt, an unlocked door may drift open under wind pressure or air pressure differentials. The dormakaba RB111 Heavy Duty Fire-Rated Roller Bolt is stocked by Terry's and is suitable for fire door installations alongside the Keyin-L. See also Realities of Electronic Door Locks — Door Alignment and Chapter 12 — Door Misalignment.
Keyin is a relatively new brand in the Australian smart lock market. Unlike established TTLock-based platforms (see Chapter 14 — What is TTLock?) or platforms like Yale or Igloohome with deep Australian distribution networks, Keyin's platform and accessory ecosystem should be confirmed with Terry's before purchase — particularly for remote access via bridge, and smart home integrations (Alexa, SmartThings, Apple Home). The lock's core Bluetooth and credential functions are standalone and do not depend on cloud connectivity. For a broader comparison of smart lock platforms, see Chapter 15 — Choosing Your Platform and five questions that decide your platform choice. For a brand profile overview, see Chapter 10 — Brand Profiles.
Smart locks are electromechanical devices. The Keyin-L's expected lifespan depends on installation quality, use frequency, and maintenance. For an honest overview of what affects how long digital door locks last in Australian conditions — including Queensland's heat and coastal environment — see How Long Do Digital Door Locks Last — Coastal Environment, Installation Quality and Lifespan, and The Realities of Electronic Door Locks — What Actually Fails.
Keyin builds the L in two mortice formats, RA APAC and RAD (specification deck, page 3). Only the RA APAC is dimensioned — mortice 105 x 79 x 23 mm, face plate 25 x 240 x 3 mm, strike 40.5(28.5) x 240 x 1.5 mm (page 5) — and those are the figures quoted in Full Specifications and shown in the Dimensions drawings above. The RAD is named in the same deck but never drawn. If you are machining a door, ordering a strike, or matching an existing pocket, confirm the mortice type on your order with Terry's first rather than working from the dimensions alone. Spare and replacement bodies live in Mortice Locks for Smart Locks. Added 2026-09-23 from the logged specification deck.

Keyin-L Fire Rated Mortice Smartlock — FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide
Everything a buyer, installer or owner tends to ask about the Keyin-L, answered in one place. For questions that apply to any smart lock rather than this one, start with Chapter 13 — Smart Lock FAQ; for the full decision path from door type to credential to compliance, work through the Ultimate Smart Lock Buyer's Guide.
Door Fit and Preparation
70 mm as standard. That is the distance from the edge of the door to the centre of the mortice follower, and it is the single measurement most likely to stop an order working. Measure it before you buy: Chapter 02 — Backset shows where to put the tape, and Measuring Your Lock Backset walks through it with photographs. If your door is already prepped at 60 mm, the dormakaba M5 BLE and the Hafele DL8800 both run a 60 mm backset.
40 to 100 mm, which is a wide range by smart lock standards — most locks stop between 35 and 54 mm. There is one condition: anything 60 mm and above needs an additional fitting part, so tell us the door thickness when you order rather than after. Chapter 02 — Door Thickness has the measuring method.
Keyin builds the L with two mortice formats, RA APAC and RAD. Only the RA APAC is dimensioned in the manufacturer's deck (page 5) and those are the figures on this page: mortice 105 x 79 x 23 mm, face plate 25 x 240 x 3 mm, strike 40.5(28.5) x 240 x 1.5 mm. The RAD is named on page 3 but never drawn. Confirm which one your order ships with before you machine a door or order a strike. Replacement and spare bodies are in Mortice Locks for Smart Locks.
No. The templates on page 6 of the specification deck are drawn at slide scale with no scale statement, so a home printer will not reproduce them at 1:1. Mark the door from the physical mortice body and strike instead, or have it prepped by a locksmith. Chapter 12 — When DIY Is Appropriate is an honest read on where that line sits, and Advice and Installation is where to book it.
Not without significant work. The pull handle is part of the lock body, so an existing handle has to come off and the mortice pocket may need re-routing — a locksmith job rather than a weekend one. If you want to keep the handle you have, look at Pathway 2 — keep the existing handle and add a retrofit smart lock. If you are happy to replace the handle with an integrated unit, Pathway 1 is the Keyin-L's own category, and the McGrath Grange is the closest comparison.
Fire Doors and Compliance
This is worth being straight about. The manufacturer's specification deck calls the Keyin-L fire-rated but states no standard, no rating period and no certificate number (page 3), and no fire certificate accompanies it. The AS1905.1-2015 two-hour figure quoted on this page comes from Terry's own product record. If a certifier, a body corporate or an insurer is going to ask for the test report, ask us for it before you order. Fire-Rated Smart Lock Certification lists the locks whose certificates are already on file.
Usually that door is a fire door, and three things decide it before the lock does: body corporate approval, the one-penetration principle, and the certification of the door leaf and frame themselves. Read the one-penetration principle and work through the strata fire door checklist and Chapter 04 — Strata Apartments, four checks required. How to identify a fire door tells you whether you are even in this conversation.
A real risk in Gold Coast buildings, and the reason your locksmith will ask about the door's age before quoting. There are three confirmed risk windows — set out here — and doors built after 1990 are not automatically clear. Never drill first and check afterwards. Chapter 11 — Asbestos Regulations covers the Queensland position.
No accessibility claim is made for it, and none appears in the manufacturer's documentation. The motionless handle needs no grip or twist to operate, which some buyers find easier than a lever, but that is an observation about the mechanism, not an AS1428.1 compliance statement. If you need a lock that is certified for accessible use, see Chapter 11 — AS1428.1 and the McGrath Hamilton, which is dual-certified for fire and DDA.
Access, Credentials and the App
Up to 99 fingerprints and up to 99 RFID cards or fobs, stored on the lock itself rather than in a cloud account. PIN codes are managed through the app, including timed and one-time guest codes. Spare credentials are in RFID, Fobs, Tags and Cards. For how the credential types differ in practice, Chapter 03 — Side-by-Side Comparison.
Fingerprint readers are quick and popular, and they have two predictable weak points on any brand: wet or very dry fingers, and a poor enrolment. Enrol each finger two or three times at slightly different angles, enrol a second finger as backup, and keep a PIN as the fallback. Chapter 03 — Fingerprint enrolment and failure modes explains why. Every fingerprint lock we stock is in Fingerprint smart locks.
You can pad your real code with junk digits on either side and the lock still finds the correct sequence inside the string. If your PIN is 1234 you can enter 9912346 and it opens. Someone watching over your shoulder learns nothing useful. Keyin calls this an infinite PIN randomizer in its own catalogue; the function is the same one described in Chapter 03 — PIN security.
Yes — a cylinder override on the exterior panel, with a construction key and a permanent key supplied. It is the one credential that works with no power at all. Where the keyhole is (it is often hidden) is worth two minutes before you need it, and storing the override key outside the house is the advice people wish they had taken. Every lock we stock with a key backup is in Has Backup Key.
Without a bridge, in Bluetooth range: lock and unlock, Smart Open geofencing auto-unlock, Smart Touch, issuing and revoking guest codes, and the access log. With a WiFi bridge: the same things from anywhere, plus live status. Whether that is worth it depends on how you actually use the door — Chapter 08 — What a Gateway Does is the honest version. Confirm bridge availability with us before you count on it.
Keyin's catalogue names SmartThings, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Tuya, and adds the footnote that smart-home integration requires the WiFi bridge, sold separately (page 5). Apple Home is not on that list. If your house runs on HomeKit, check the platform comparison table and talk to us first — a Yale or Lockwood lock is the safer HomeKit answer. Platform data residency is covered in Chapter 15 — Security and Data Sovereignty.
Nine times in ten it is band steering: the router hands the device a 5 GHz band it cannot use, and the bridge falls off. The fixes are in Band Steering — the most common culprit and How to improve stability, and Chapter 13, Q11 has the short version. None of it affects the keypad, fingerprint, card or key — those never touch the network.
Locking, Power and Emergencies
Most motorised locks wait until they sense the door closed, then run a motor to throw the deadbolt — which leaves a short window where the door is shut but not locked. Keyin splits it: the latch bolt catches the moment the door closes, then the motorised deadbolt follows on the auto-lock timer. On a front door used a dozen times a day, that removes the commonest way a smart lock ends up sitting open. Two Korean patents are cited for the mechanism (catalogue, page 1).
Four AA alkalines, around twelve months at ten uses a day. Use alkalines, not rechargeable NiMH — the lower cell voltage causes erratic behaviour in motorised locks. The lock warns audibly and through the app well before it stops. The Realities of Electronic Door Locks is the unvarnished version of battery life claims, and Chapter 13 — Power and Battery covers the rest. Batteries and power parts: Power Accessories for Smart Locks.
Hold a 9V battery against the contacts on the outside keypad panel. That gives the lock enough power to take your PIN and pull the bolt. Then replace all four AAs inside, together — never mix old and new. The 9V is not supplied, so keep one somewhere you can reach from outside the house, not inside it. The mechanical key is the other route: what to do when the battery dies.
The internal body carries an anti-panic push/pull bar rather than a small knob, so leaving is one movement (specification deck, page 3). The lock also has a built-in fire alarm sensor and an internal forced-lockdown switch. If your building has a formal egress requirement — a commercial tenancy, a specified exit path — have it checked against the relevant provisions rather than assuming; ask us and we will put the question to the supplier.
Security Features
An anti-theft alarm triggers on forced-entry attempts, and the electronics are built with EMP resistance — a deliberate design choice against the electric-shock attacks that have been demonstrated on cheaper keypad locks. Forced lockdown can be set from inside or outside, which disables credential entry until an authorised user clears it.
It stops the lock accepting credentials at the outside panel until an authorised user releases it — useful when you are home and want the door to stay shut regardless of who has a code. It is the same idea as the internal snib on other platforms, and the same warning applies: anyone outside with a valid code is locked out too. The perils of the internal snib is worth reading before you make it a habit.
No cyber security declaration has been supplied to us for the Keyin range, so we cannot state that it does. Australia's smart device security rules took effect on 4 March 2026 and apply to network-connectable consumer products, Bluetooth included — what changed and who the rules cover set out the scope. If a statement of compliance matters to your project, Chapter 11 tells you what to ask for, and ask us before you order. Brands with per-SKU declarations on file are listed in the Yale and Lockwood range table.
Keyin quotes no IP rating and no salt spray figure for the Keyin-L, so there is no number to hold it to — only the operating temperature range, -10°C to +50°C. On a Gold Coast front door under an eave that is usually fine; on an exposed, salt-blown entry it is a question you want answered before you buy, not after. Chapter 11 — Queensland considerations covers UV, salt air and humidity, the C-grade corrosion scale explains what a real corrosion figure looks like, and How Long Do Digital Door Locks Last is the field experience. Ask us for an alternative with a published figure if the door is genuinely exposed.
Living With It
Because the Keyin-L's security comes from a motorised deadbolt, not a sprung latch, so in the unlocked state nothing holds the door shut. Without a roller bolt on the stile, an unlocked door drifts open under wind or air-pressure differences, and the draught and the misalignment that follows are what eventually strain the motor. The dormakaba RB111 is fire-rated and battery-free, which is why it is the one we pair with this lock. Door alignment is the most underestimated factor in how long any smart lock lasts.
Keyin's names for two convenience behaviours. Smart Touch opens the door when you touch the keypad, with no code or card — useful where the door is already in a secure area. Smart Open is Bluetooth geofencing: your phone unlocks the door as you arrive. Both are set in the app, and both are worth thinking about before you switch them on, because both trade a little security for convenience. The general case is covered in Chapter 13 — Practical Use.
Yes — Guest Keys can be set to a duration, particular times of day and particular days of the week, and sent by text or a messaging app; Door Events then shows you when they were used. Revoke it from the app when the job is done. Within Bluetooth range you can do all of this standing at the door; from elsewhere you need the bridge.
Keyin is new to the Australian market, so the honest answer is that its local track record is short. RAONARK in Korea makes it and GNJ Smart Homes distributes it here. The lock's keypad, fingerprint, card and key all work with no cloud connection at all, so a platform change would not lock you out of your own door — but accessory availability and app updates are the things to ask us about. What happens if the manufacturer discontinues the app is the question worth asking of any brand, and Chapter 10 — Brand Profiles is where the established names are compared.
The Keyin-L is a special order rather than a stocked line, so call us for the current lead time before you commit to a build schedule. If the timing will not work, we hold other fire-rated smart locks in stock.
