The Vault Triton (Vault_Triton) is a lever-handle smart lock designed for homes, offices, and commercial spaces where keyless access is needed in a compact, modern format. It is a sleek smart lever lock with multiple credential options and app control: fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card, Bluetooth from the Vault Smart Locks app, and a mechanical override key, with optional remote access through the Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway.
The Triton is built around 5050 (50mm backset) mortice and tubular latch door preparations. Because different door preparations require different lock bodies, lock-body selection should be confirmed before ordering - the Lock Body Options section below explains how.
For the same Vault app on a straightforward lever lock with three finishes, see the Vault Prime; for a lever-or-knob option on 50mm mortice or tubular-latch doors, see the Vault Neo.
Usually ships in 3 business days.

What's In The Box
The full itemised contents list, including every screw size, is in the What's in the Box tab above.
Lock Body Options
Triton comes with optional tubular latch or 5050 (50mm backset) mortice. A tubular latch (single spring bolt) is common on internal doors; the 5050 mortice adds a deadbolt in a mortice pocket. Look at your door edge - one visible bolt is a latch, two is a mortice - and confirm your backset and door thickness before ordering.
Battery, Power and Backup Access
The Triton is powered by 4 x AA alkaline batteries (DC6V, not included), fitted in the battery box on the rear panel. The manual rates a set at about 7000 normal unlocks, or roughly 12 months of typical use. Batteries are required and are not supplied.
Mechanical key backup remains available in all power conditions - two keys are included. Keep a spare key off-site rather than inside the door it opens; see what to do when the battery dies.
Privacy Deadlock and Doorbell
The rear panel carries a privacy button that dead-locks the door from the inside: pull it up and the lock is set to locked, so only the administrator can enter - other passcodes and cards are invalid until the button is pulled back down. The supplied manual describes the privacy-lock and reset-button functions on the rear body.
The front panel includes a doorbell button, so visitors can announce themselves at the door without a separate doorbell unit.
Suitable Uses
- Residential entry doors - see the regular front door range
- Office entry doors
- Commercial spaces using lever-format digital access
- Doors using tubular latch or 5050 mortice arrangements
- Short-stay and rental properties where timed PIN codes help manage guests and cleaners

Full Specifications
Battery life, current draw, operating range, door thickness and handing are from the 14-page Vault Triton user manual (in the PDF Files tab). The finish listing was corrected this build: an earlier version of this page mentioned a Silver option, but the finish section, the supplied swatch and the Triton manual's specification table all list Black only.
Wi-Fi Remote Access (Optional)
This smart lock operates via Bluetooth connectivity as standard, from the Vault Smart Locks app on iOS
and Android
. Bluetooth control works when you are near the door and needs no internet connection. 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 supported Alexa or Google Home functionality. For remote functionality, see the Vault G5 Gateway, Chapter 08 on what a gateway does, and the blog on whether you need a gateway at all.
Triton includes a backup physical key (two keys supplied) for emergency access.
Frequently Asked Questions
By fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card, Bluetooth app and mechanical key. Face recognition is not available on this lever model.
No. It runs locally via Bluetooth and onboard credentials. Remote access is optional and requires the Vault G5 Gateway - see what a gateway does.
4 x AA alkaline (DC6V, not included), rated to about 7000 unlocks or roughly 12 months. If flat, use the mechanical key. Like any electronic lock it is not set-and-forget.
The Triton suits 5050 mortice and tubular-latch doors, 35 to 55mm thick, with a 75mm recommended clearance. Confirm your backset and door thickness. For double doors, a Vault Rebate Kit may be required.
Yes. The back panel has a privacy button that dead-locks the door from the inside (only the administrator can then enter), and the front panel has a doorbell button. Details are in the Privacy Deadlock and Doorbell section above.
The Triton is IP65 rated for dust and low-pressure water jets, suitable for most everyday external residential doors. It is not submersible.

Vault Triton - FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide
Deeper answers for owners and buyers of the Vault Triton. For category-wide questions, see our Smart Lock FAQ (Chapter 13) and the Buyer's Guide.
Access and Credentials
Permanent, timed and one-time codes, all managed from the Vault Smart Locks app. The Triton stores up to 150 passcodes, so a household or short-stay property can give every regular user and every visitor their own code. See PIN codes explained.
The Triton holds up to 100 fingerprints, so each person can enrol several fingers - the practical trick for consistent recognition. Enrolment is done at the lock through the app's Add Fingerprint flow. Background on the credential is in Chapter 03 - fingerprint access.
Yes - the Triton accepts up to 200 RFID cards, enrolled at the lock via the app. Two epoxy smart keycards ship in the box; extras are available from our RFID cards, fobs and tags range.
The mechanical cylinder sits on the front panel (shown in the Lock Layout diagram on the main tab). Our blog shows where smart lock keyholes hide and how to store the override key sensibly.
Privacy Deadlock and Doorbell
Pull the privacy button on the back panel up and the door is dead-locked from the inside: only the administrator can then unlock from outside, and other passcodes and cards are invalid until the button is pulled back down. It is the manual's Dead Lock Function, and it suits bedrooms, bathrooms, offices and any room where you want to stop casual entry while inside.
The front panel carries a built-in doorbell button, so visitors can announce themselves at the door without a separate doorbell unit - handy on offices and consulting rooms where the door stays locked during the day.
Fit, Lock Bodies and Installation
A 5050 mortice is a mortice lock body with a 50mm backset - the distance from the door edge to the centre of the spindle. Measure your existing lock's backset and check the door edge: one visible bolt is a tubular latch, two (latch plus deadbolt) is a mortice. Chapter 02 covers measuring your backset, and the blog explains what a backset is.
Match your door's existing preparation. Triton comes with optional tubular latch or 5050 (50mm backset) mortice, and correct lock-body selection is critical for proper fitment, strike alignment, and handle operation. If in doubt, send us photos of your door edge before ordering.
Rebated (overlapping) pairs need the Vault Rebate Kit to convert the preparation. Confirm latch and strike alignment for your doors before ordering.
Yes. The front and back handle direction is reversed during installation - the manual's installation sequence includes the handle-reversal step - so the Triton suits both left and right-opening doors. Set it before the panels go on the door.
On a door already prepared for a tubular latch or a 5050 mortice, a competent DIYer can follow the manual's 11-step installation (drilling template, mortice, panels, gasket, batteries, adjustment). If a new mortice pocket has to be cut, or the door needs packing and alignment work, use a professional - see when DIY makes sense and our Gold Coast measure and install service.
Power and Batteries
4 x AA alkaline batteries (DC6V), not included. The manual rates a set at about 7000 normal unlocks, or roughly 12 months, with a static draw under 50uA. Use new alkaline cells and replace them as a set. For battery habits that avoid lockouts, see the realities of electronic locks.
Use one of the two mechanical override keys, then fit fresh batteries - mechanical key backup remains available in all power conditions. Keep a spare key off-site; our blog covers what to do when the battery dies.
Remote Access, App and Smart Home
Only for remote features. Locally, Bluetooth handles unlocking, user management and history when you are at the door. The Vault G5 Gateway adds remote unlock, remote passcode changes and history from anywhere, plus Alexa and Google Home integration. Chapter 08 explains what a gateway does; the blog asks whether you need one at all.
Yes - the G5 is dual-band, which avoids the band-steering pairing problem that affects single-band gateways. See Chapter 08 - band steering and the gateway comparison blog.
Yes, once paired with the G5 Gateway - the lock itself has no Wi-Fi radio, so voice control runs through the gateway.
Yes. The Vault app reads unlock records over Bluetooth at the door, and remotely once the G5 Gateway is fitted. Assign each fingerprint, code and card to a named user so the history is meaningful.
Suitability
No. Vault smart locks carry no fire-door certification. Chapter 05 explains where fire doors are required and which locks are certified for them.
Yes - timed and one-time PIN codes suit guests and cleaners, fingerprints suit long-term tenants, and unlock records show who came in. Pair with the G5 Gateway to issue and revoke codes remotely between stays. Browse other PIN code smart locks to compare.
The Triton is IP65 rated - protected against dust and low-pressure water jets - which suits most everyday external residential doors. It is not submersible, and a covered position always extends the life of any electronic lock.
Care, Warranty and Support
The Triton carries Vault's standard 12-month warranty. Note that Vault charges a refundable assessment holding fee for warranty assessments - $200 in metropolitan areas and $250 elsewhere - refunded when the claim is accepted. Full terms are in the Vault warranty policy and our Returns & Warranty page.
IP65 covers dust and low-pressure water jets, but salt air is a corrosion question and coastal corrosion is excluded from warranty cover. A sheltered mounting position and regular wipe-downs help - see coastal environment realities.

Vault Warranty
Vault Smart Locks products are backed by a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential or commercial use. All claims are handled locally by Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites, trading names, and subsidiaries - start with us and we'll manage the process with Vault on your behalf.
Warranty Summary

- Have your product model and serial number (if applicable) ready, along with a brief description of the fault and your installation address.
- We assess your claim with Vault and advise the outcome and next steps. You may be asked to return the product for inspection.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover
- Normal wear and tear.
- Cosmetic damage that does not affect performance.
- Damage caused by incorrect installation, misuse, neglect, modification, or accident.
- Damage due to improper handling, or installation by an unlicensed technician.
- Products that have been disassembled, tampered with, or where the security seal or warranty label has been removed.

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.
