Vault Eclipse Slimline Smart Lock for Sliding or Hinged Doors
At A Glance
Not Available
Not Available
The Vault Eclipse (Vault_Eclipse_Lever_or_Knob) is a slimline smart lock for narrow aluminium and timber doors where a full-width smart lock body will not fit or would look out of proportion. Its compact 31mm body and plain styling make it a practical fit on modern joinery where both appearance and fitment matter.
The Eclipse opens by fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or fob, Bluetooth from the Vault Smart Locks app, and a mechanical key, with remote access available through the optional Vault G5 Gateway. It is offered in knob and lever handle variants, and it is one of the Vault models rated for both sliding and hinged doors.
It also carries the widest published mortice list in the range - 35/85 through to 70/85 European bodies - which is what makes it the easiest Vault lock to match to an existing door preparation. Narrow-profile doors vary a great deal, so confirming the backset, the striker position and the frame clearance before ordering is time well spent.
Usually ships in 3 business days from our warehouse (excludes weekends and Queensland public holidays).
Key Features
- Slimline 31mm body for narrow aluminium and timber doors - the narrowest mortice-format lock in the Vault range.
- Five credentials at the door: fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or fob, Bluetooth app and a mechanical key.
- Available in knob and lever handle variants, with the handle direction reversible during installation.
- The widest mortice compatibility in the Vault range: 35/85, 45/85, 50/85, 60/85 and 70/85 European bodies, plus sliding hook and tubular latch options at checkout.
- Rated for sliding or hinged doors with the correct lock body selected.
- Battery life of up to 10,000 normal unlocks, or about 12 months, on four AAA cells.
- Optional remote access through the dual-band Vault G5 Gateway, which avoids the band-steering problem of single-band gateways.
- IP66-rated external module - the highest IP figure on any Batch 3 slimline lock - suitable for external and exposed installations.
Lock Layout
The Eclipse external (outside) module is IP66 weather rated for everyday outdoor exposure - full dust protection and resistance to powerful water jets from any direction. The internal module, which houses the battery compartment and the rest of the electronics, is for interior use only and is not weather rated.
Access Methods
The Eclipse carries five credentials at the door plus optional remote access. Our side-by-side access method comparison explains how each one behaves in practice.
What's in the Box
The drawings below show the panel layout and the included components; the table lists each part with quantities.


The Eclipse takes four AAA cells, which are not supplied. Use new alkaline cells and do not mix new and old. The Vault G5 Gateway is also a separate purchase.
Mortice and Latch Selection
This lock is supplied with a 6085 (60 mm backset) mortice for hinged/swinging doors as standard.



Battery, Power and Backup Access
- Powered by four AAA batteries, not included. Use new alkaline cells and avoid mixing new and old.
- Battery life is up to 10,000 normal unlocks, or about 12 months under normal use - the longest quoted figure on any Batch 3 slimline lock.
- Static draw is 45 microamps, rising to under 200mA while the motor runs, which is what makes a full year on four AAA cells realistic.
- Bluetooth and the smart functions require correctly installed batteries; the credentials at the door do too.
- Two mechanical backup keys are supplied and work when the batteries are depleted. See where the keyhole is and what to do when the battery dies.
- There is no USB emergency power port on the Eclipse - the mechanical key is the only fallback once the cells are flat, which is a good reason to replace them at the first low-battery warning. Our guide to smart lock battery life is honest about what that means in practice.
Suitable Uses
- Narrow-profile residential entry doors where a larger body will not fit.
- Timber and aluminium hinged doors with a compatible 85mm-pitch mortice preparation.
- Sliding doors paired with a compatible hook bolt mortice.
- Office and internal access doors that need slim hardware and managed access rather than keys.
- Exposed external doors where the IP66 external module earns its keep - see regular front doors.
- Retrofits onto an existing 85mm-pitch door preparation, where the wide mortice range usually removes the need to re-machine the door.
Vault smart locks are not certified to AS 1905.1, so the Eclipse must not be fitted to a fire door such as an apartment entry door. Chapter 05 sets out where fire doors are required in Queensland and which locks are compliant.

Vault Slimline Smart Lock Range
The Eclipse is the lever-or-knob slimline option. The whole line-up is on the Vault range overview.
Dimensions
Recommended clearance: 60mm. Door thickness range: 38mm to 55mm.

Vault Smart Locks App
The Eclipse is set up and managed from the Vault Smart Locks app, available for iOS 7.0 and above ![]()
and Android 4.4 and above. Vault runs its own app platform - it is not a TTLock product.
Over Bluetooth the app adds and revokes fingerprints, cards and PINs, issues permanent, timed and one-time passcodes, sends app eKeys and reads the unlock log. Managing the lock from outside Bluetooth range requires the Vault G5 Gateway. The lock ships on the factory passcode 123456 and stays in an always-open state until it is powered and paired - change the code during setup.
Wi-Fi Remote Access (Optional)
The Eclipse operates over Bluetooth 4.0 BLE as standard. Fingerprint, PIN, card and the mechanical key all work at the door with no internet connection - the smart versus connected distinction is worth reading before you buy a gateway you may not need.
With the Vault G5 Gateway paired, you gain remote lock and unlock, remote creation and revocation of temporary credentials, access-log review from anywhere, clock calibration and compatible Alexa or Google Home control. The G5 is dual-band, avoiding the band-steering failures that single-band gateways hit on modern routers. See our gateway generation comparison, what a gateway does, and the gateway and module range.
The Eclipse includes a mechanical key override so access remains available if the batteries are depleted or an electronic method cannot be used. On a narrow-profile external door where uninterrupted access matters, that key is the whole fallback - there is no USB rescue port on this model. Confirm key operation during initial setup and keep a spare off-site.
Frequently Asked Questions
That is what it is for. At 31mm wide it is the narrowest mortice-format lock in the Vault range and suits aluminium and timber stiles that a full-width body will not fit. Check the 38mm to 55mm door thickness range as well as the stile width.
Yes, with a sliding hook bolt mortice in place of the standard body. The 6085 supplied as standard is for hinged and swinging doors only, so the correct option must be chosen at checkout - it cannot be swapped afterwards without buying a second body.
More often than any other Vault lock. The manual lists 35/85, 45/85, 50/85, 60/85 and 70/85 European mortice bodies, so most 85mm-pitch preparations at a common backset are covered without re-machining the door. Measuring the backset takes a minute and settles it.
No. It supports fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or fob, Bluetooth app control and a mechanical key. For 3D face recognition in a slimline body, look at the Vault Alpha or the Vault Zenith.
Only if that door is not fire rated, and most Queensland apartment entry doors are. Fitting an uncertified lock to a fire door is a building code breach. See Chapter 05 for the compliance requirements and the locks that meet them.
Additional Information
The Eclipse is the most suitable Vault model for slim aluminium and timber profiles, but "slim" is not the same as "any". Measure the stile width and confirm the door falls inside the 38mm to 55mm thickness range before ordering. For context on where Vault sits in the wider market, see the Vault brand profile.
The Eclipse comes in lever and knob variants, which differ in operation and appearance - confirm which you want before ordering. The handle direction is reversible during installation following the procedure in the manual, so handing is set on the day rather than at purchase.
The Eclipse manual names an RFID wristband among its unlock methods alongside the card. We do not currently range a Vault wristband, so nothing on this page links one. The lock reads standard Vault RFID credentials either way; if a wristband form factor matters for your site, ask us and we will find out whether one can be ordered in.
Choosing the wrong mortice type is one of the most common installation errors, especially on aluminium doors and sliding hook-bolt applications - see our guide to common hardware and backset mistakes and the backset mistakes section. On the Gold Coast we offer a measure and install service.
Vault charges a refundable assessment holding fee on warranty returns - $200 in metropolitan areas and $250 elsewhere - refunded when the claim is assessed as a genuine warranty fault. We manage the claim with Vault on your behalf.

Vault Eclipse - FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide
The questions below go further than the summary on the main page. For general smart lock questions see the Smart Lock FAQ, and for the wider decision the Ultimate Smart Lock Buyer's Guide.
Door Fit and Mortice Choice
The manual lists 35/85, 45/85, 50/85, 60/85 and 70/85 European bodies - a 35, 45, 50, 60 or 70mm backset, all at 85mm lock centres. A 6085 is supplied as standard. That range maps onto the Vault Hinged/Swinging Mortice range, which is why the Eclipse is the easiest Vault lock to retrofit.
It is the distance from the edge of the door to the centre of the cylinder or spindle hole. Measure it with the existing lock in place - our step-by-step takes about a minute and saves an expensive mistake. Get it wrong and the lock physically will not line up with the existing preparation.
No. The published range is 38mm to 55mm. Outside that the spindle and fixings will not reach correctly. Check the door thickness guidance and talk to us about alternatives if your door sits outside the range.
A straight bolt has nothing to throw into on a slider - the door moves parallel to the frame rather than into it. A hook bolt swings out and grabs the jamb instead. The Vault Sliding Hook Mortice comes in 2085 and 2885 narrow backsets.
The handle direction is reversible during installation, following the procedure on page 7 of the manual, so the same lock suits a left-hand or right-hand door. You do not need to specify handing when ordering. If you are unsure what handing means, see our handing guide.
Some tubular latch and deadbolt preparations on rebated pairs need the Vault Rebate Kit. Flush pairs and single doors do not.
Access and Credentials
Fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card or fob, Bluetooth unlock from the Vault Smart Locks app, and a mechanical key. The access methods comparison sets out how each one behaves and where each one fails.
Yes. The app issues permanent, timed and one-time PIN codes, so a cleaner can hold a code that works only during their window and a one-off visitor gets one that expires after a single use. For short-stay use see our Airbnb and short-stay chapter.
It is 123456, and yes it matters. The lock ships in an always-open state until it is powered and paired, and the factory code works until you replace it. Changing it is the first thing to do after the lock is on the door, not something to get to later.
Not from us at present - we do not range a Vault RFID wristband, which is why nothing on this page links one. The lock reads standard Vault RFID credentials regardless. If a wristband form factor matters for a gym, a pool or a worksite, ask and we will check whether one can be brought in.
Power and Batteries
Four AAA cells, not included. Use new alkaline cells, fit them all at once and do not mix new with old - a mixed set is the most common cause of a lock that reports low battery weeks after a change.
The manual quotes up to 10,000 normal unlocks or about twelve months, and the current figures behind that are credible: 45 microamps at rest and under 200mA while the motor runs. Heavy fingerprint use and a cold, damp position both shorten it. Our battery life guide is honest about the gap between quoted and real figures.
The mechanical key is the only way in. There is no USB emergency power port on the Eclipse, which is the one meaningful thing it gives up against the Alpha and Zenith. Replace the cells at the first low-battery warning and keep a key somewhere other than inside the door - see storing the override key.
App and Remote Access
No. It is Bluetooth 4.0 BLE, and fingerprint, PIN and card all work at the lock itself with no network at all. The app controls it when you are within Bluetooth range.
Remote lock and unlock, remote passcode creation and revocation, access-log review from anywhere, clock calibration, and compatible Alexa or Google Home control. See the G5 remote functions and what a gateway does.
The G5 is dual-band, so the band-steering problem that trips single-band gateways up on combined networks does not arise. Our generation comparison sets out the differences.
iOS 7.0 and above, Android 4.4 and above. In practice any current phone is well inside those minimums.
Yes - the unlock record reads in the app over Bluetooth and remotely once a G5 is paired.
Weather and Longevity
The external module is IP66 - dust tight and resistant to powerful water jets from any direction - which is the highest IP figure on any Batch 3 Vault slimline lock and covers ordinary weather on an exposed front door. The internal module is not rated and stays inside. It is not a submersion rating.
An IP rating measures ingress, not corrosion, so it says nothing about salt air. A covered position, a periodic fresh-water rinse of the outside panel and realistic expectations are the practical answer - see our notes on coastal environments.
Installation quality and environment decide more than brand does. A well-fitted lock on an aligned door in a sheltered position outlasts a better lock fitted badly - our lifespan guide sets out what actually drives it.
Keep the fingerprint sensor clean with a dry cloth, and check the door still closes cleanly against the strike a few times a year. Door misalignment is the most underestimated cause of motor strain and battery drain.
Choosing Between Vault Models
Both are slimline lever-or-knob locks with the same credential set. The Phantom is narrower again at 30mm and comes in Black or Gold; the Eclipse is Silver, carries the higher IP66 rating and has the wider published mortice list. Finish and mortice fit usually decide it.
The Vault Neo is a standard-width lever or knob lock on a 50mm mortice or tubular latch, so it suits a conventional door with room around the hardware. The Eclipse is for doors where that body will not fit.
Then neither - the Eclipse needs a stile to mortice into. The Vault Lumina clamps to the edge of 10mm to 12mm glass with an inbuilt hook bolt and needs no mortice at all.
Twelve months from purchase on the standard range, 24 months on select Signature Range models where the listing or packaging says so. Batteries, consumables, cosmetic finishes, misuse and incorrect or unlicensed installation are excluded. Vault charges a refundable $200 metropolitan or $250 regional assessment holding fee on a warranty return, refunded when the fault is assessed as genuine. We manage the claim - see Returns and Warranty.

Important Notes
Where a Vault product carries an Ingress Protection (IP) rating, that rating is stated on the individual product listing, packaging or technical documentation. Unless stated otherwise in writing, the IP rating applies only to the external-facing side of the lock - not to the internal assembly, handle, battery compartment, electronics, cables or connectors. The internal side must be installed in a dry, sheltered position. An IP rating describes water resistance, not waterproofing: the lock must not be submerged, pressure washed, or exposed beyond its stated rating, and all seals, gaskets and covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged.
Vault's manufacturer policy applies a warranty assessment holding fee, which is refundable if the fault is found to be covered under warranty. If a product is assessed as outside warranty or damaged by an excluded cause, a discounted replacement may be offered. We will confirm any applicable fees and options with you before any assessment proceeds.
This warranty is provided in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure, and to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
