I got a smart lock and it says I need a minimum door thickness of 40mm.
My door is 35mm…
5mm doesn’t seem much but is it going to be a problem?

Asked by Gc about 2 years ago

Yes it will be a problem. You can just install some plates to make up the difference. They make adapter plates for this very purpose, unless it’s a unique footprint, you may have to custom make some plates.

How can you unlock a magnetic lock, that's locked from the inside and you're stuck outside? How much would it cost for a locksmith to do that?

Asked by Peaches over 2 years ago

Depends on your area and who you hire. Could be $75 to $250 depending on what needs to be done. It’s impossible for me to say what needs to be done to gain entry without seeing your setup and being there. Every job is different, & this is a special situation.
