Vault Phantom Slimline Smart Lock - Lever or Knob - Black or Gold
The Vault Phantom is a slimline smart lock designed for narrow aluminium and timber doors where space is limited but digital access control is still required. Its slim profile makes it better suited to narrow joinery than many larger smart-lock bodies.
Phantom supports fingerprint, PIN code, Bluetooth, RFID card, and app control, with optional remote access available when paired with the Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway. It is positioned as a practical option for residential and light commercial doors where appearance and fitment both matter.
Phantom is available in a broad range of 85-centre mortice configurations — confirming your door's backset and door type before ordering is essential.
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, review activity, and add supported 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.
Phantom includes backup keys for emergency access when battery power is unavailable or electronic methods cannot be used.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Phantom suitable for narrow aluminium doors?
Yes. Phantom is specifically designed as a slimline smart lock for narrow aluminium and timber door stiles where larger lock bodies would not fit or look disproportionate. - Can Phantom 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 — a different mortice must be selected at checkout for sliding door use. - Does Phantom support facial recognition?
No. Phantom supports fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, Bluetooth app control, and mechanical key backup. Facial recognition is not available on this model. - Does Phantom support remote access?
Yes, but only when paired with the Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway. Without the gateway, the lock operates locally via Bluetooth and onboard credentials. Our guide to what a gateway does explains the difference. - What mortice comes standard, and what are my alternatives?
Phantom is supplied with a 6085 mortice as standard — a 60 mm backset hinged-door mortice. A broad range of alternative options including sliding hook mortices are available at checkout. See our guide to backset and smart lock mortice selection if you are unsure which to choose.
Additional Information
- Narrow-Profile Fitment: Phantom is better suited than many larger smart locks to doors where stile width is limited. Measure carefully before ordering — stile width and door thickness both affect whether a smart lock will fit. See the Vault brand profile for context on how Phantom sits in the broader range.
- Mortice Selection Matters: The wide range of supported 85-centre mortices means fitment must be matched to the actual door and application. Selecting the wrong mortice type is one of the most common installation errors — see our guide to common hardware and backset selection mistakes.
- Variant and Finish Choice: Knob and lever options differ by finish availability — confirm the required handle style and finish before ordering, as these cannot be exchanged after purchase.
- Sliding-Door Use: Sliding-door installations require the correct hook mortice and should never be assumed to work with a standard hinged-door mortice body. See the Vault sliding hook mortice overview before selecting for this application.
- Weather Exposure: The IP65 rating covers everyday outdoor exposure. In coastal Queensland environments, ongoing maintenance and correct installation remain important factors in long-term performance.
