Vault Eclipse Slimline Smart Lock for Sliding or Hinged Doors
The Vault Eclipse is a slimline smart lock designed for narrow aluminium and timber doors where a full-width smart lock may not suit the door profile. Its compact body and minimalist styling make it a practical option for modern doors where appearance and fitment both matter.
Eclipse supports fingerprint, PIN code, Bluetooth, RFID card, and app control, with optional remote access available through the Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway. It is available in knob and lever-handle variants.
Because narrow-profile doors vary significantly, confirming compatibility before ordering is recommended — particularly where existing mortices, striker positions, or frame clearances differ from standard hinged-door preparations.
Usually ships in 1 - 2 business days.

Wi-Fi Remote Access (Optional)
This smart lock operates via Bluetooth connectivity as standard. Remote access and internet-based control are available only when paired with a compatible Vault Wi-Fi gateway.
When connected to a gateway, users can remotely manage access, view activity, create temporary credentials, and add compatible Alexa or Google Home functionality. The G5's dual-band Wi-Fi avoids the band-steering problem that affects single-band gateways on modern routers.
For a full comparison of gateway generations, see our G2 vs G3 vs G4 vs G5 gateway guide.
For remote functionality, see the Vault G5 Gateway.
This lock includes a mechanical key override to ensure access remains available if batteries are depleted or electronic access methods cannot be used.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Vault Eclipse suitable for narrow aluminium doors?
Yes. Eclipse is specifically suited to narrow aluminium and timber door stiles where larger smart lock bodies would not fit or look disproportionate. - Can the Vault Eclipse be used on sliding doors?
Yes, provided it is paired with a compatible sliding hook bolt mortice suited to the application. The standard 6085 mortice is for hinged doors only — confirm the correct option at checkout. - Does the Vault Eclipse support remote access?
Yes, but only when paired with the Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway. Without the gateway, it operates locally via Bluetooth and onboard credentials. Our guide to what a gateway does explains the difference. - Does the Vault Eclipse support facial recognition?
No. Eclipse supports fingerprint, PIN code, Bluetooth, RFID card, and app control. Facial recognition is not available on this model. - Is the Vault Eclipse suitable for apartment entry doors?
No. Vault smart locks are not certified for fire-rated doors such as apartment entry doors. For Queensland fire door compliance requirements and what locks are suitable, see Chapter 05 of our Buyer's Guide.
Additional Information
- Narrow-Profile Fitment: Eclipse is one of the more suitable Vault models for slimmer aluminium and timber door profiles. Measure your stile width and door thickness carefully before ordering. For context on how Eclipse sits in the broader Vault range, see the Vault brand profile.
- Variant Choice: Eclipse is available in knob and lever-handle options — confirm the required variant before ordering, as these differ in handle operation and appearance.
- Mortice Selection: Correct mortice choice is critical, especially for aluminium doors and sliding hook-bolt applications. Selecting the wrong mortice type is one of the most common installation errors — see our guide to common hardware and backset selection mistakes.
- Weather Exposure: Eclipse's IP65 rating covers everyday outdoor exposure. In coastal Queensland environments, correct installation and ongoing maintenance remain important for long-term performance.
