Vault Zenith Slimline Push Pull Smart Lock with 3D Face Recognition
The Vault Zenith is a slimline push-pull smart lock designed for modern front doors where a long-body lock with advanced biometrics and flexible mortice selection is required. It combines 3D facial recognition with a full credential stack in a narrow push-pull format.
Zenith supports facial recognition, fingerprint, PIN code, Bluetooth, RFID card, and app control, with optional remote access and smart-home functionality available through the Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway.
The mortice type and size is customer-selectable at checkout — confirming your door's backset and door type before ordering is an essential part of the purchase decision.
Usually ships in 1 - 2 business days.

Lock Layout
Facial Recognition Access
Zenith includes 3D facial recognition for touch-free entry. The 3D sensor type differs meaningfully from 2D camera-based recognition — see our buyer's guide for the technical distinction and what it means for spoofing resistance and liveness detection.
Facial recognition works alongside fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, Bluetooth app control, and backup key access. Face capacity is listed as 100 users in the supplied manual.
If installing in a commercial, strata, or managed rental context, review the Australian Privacy Act obligations that apply to facial recognition data collection before proceeding.
Lock Assembly
Zenith is IP65 weather rated, providing full dust protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets from any direction.

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.
Zenith includes two backup physical keys for emergency access.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Zenith support facial recognition?
Yes. Zenith includes 3D facial recognition with a stated capacity of 100 face profiles per the supplied manual. The 3D sensor type provides meaningful advantages over 2D camera-based recognition in terms of spoofing resistance and liveness detection. - Can I choose the mortice type for Zenith?
Yes. Mortice type and size are customer-selectable at checkout. Confirm your door type and backset measurement before ordering to ensure the correct option is selected. - Does Zenith support remote access?
Yes, but only when paired with the Vault G5 Wi-Fi Gateway. Without the gateway, the lock operates locally via Bluetooth, face recognition, fingerprint, PIN, and RFID. Our guide to what a gateway does explains the difference between local and remote-enabled operation. - Is Zenith suitable for sliding doors?
Yes, provided the correct sliding hook bolt mortice is selected at checkout. The default 6085 mortice is for hinged doors only. - What is included with Zenith?
Zenith includes a backup key (x2), RFID cards (x3), USB-C charging cable, rechargeable lithium battery, mortice, installation hardware, and a digital manual. The exact mortice type depends on the configuration selected at checkout.
Additional Information
- Mortice Choice Matters: Zenith should not be ordered on the assumption that one standard lock body suits every door. Mortice selection is part of the product configuration — see our guide to common hardware and backset selection mistakes before purchasing.
- Facial Recognition — Commercial and Rental Use: Deploying facial recognition in a commercial, strata, or managed rental context may trigger obligations under the Australian Privacy Act. Review these requirements before installation.
- Slimline Push-Pull Positioning: Zenith suits modern front doors where a long slim push-pull body is required. Confirm your existing push-pull handle setup and stile dimensions before ordering. For context on where Zenith sits in the broader Vault range, see the Vault brand profile.
- Credential Capacity: Zenith carries a strong user-capacity set, particularly for PIN (300) and face profiles (100), making it suitable for shared residential or small managed-access environments.
- Weather Exposure: Zenith's IP65 rating covers everyday outdoor exposure. In coastal Queensland environments, correct installation and ongoing maintenance remain important factors in long-term performance.
