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 lock or unlock the door, manage credentials, view activity, and add Alexa or Google Home functionality on supported systems.

Additional Information
- Entry Lock Positioning: Fortress is a premium-entry style push pull lock intended for primary residential doors rather than simple internal latch applications.
- Mortice Fitment Matters: Because the product details only describe a smart mortice, compatibility should be checked against the actual door preparation before ordering.
- Multi-User Suitability: Fortress is better suited to households or properties needing several credential types rather than single-user keypad access alone.
- Weather Exposure: The lock is weather-rated, but correct installation and ongoing maintenance still matter in exposed environments.
