Smart homes are no longer just a concept found in science fiction movies. Today, every object in our homes has evolved to become “smart” and your door locks aren’t behind either. With Dorset’s smart digital locks and cloud based e-key system, you get biometric access, tailor-made access rights that you can control straight from your smartphone, unlocking notifications, temporary digital keys and so much more for the digital door lock price.
Dorset’s digital locks seamlessly integrate and become part of your smart home ecosystem so you’re without a doubt in for an exciting journey.
The Foundation of Smart Home Integration
Before we dive into the specifics, let's understand what makes digital locks such perfect partners for smart homes. And you do not need to worry about the rare occasions that technology fails us either because with Dorset, you always have the traditional, mechanical key for backup. Our new-age digital locks come equipped with various connectivity options:
- Wi-Fi capabilities
- Bluetooth connectivity
E-Key Technology
Our revolutionary cloud-based E-Key system introduces a new dimension to digital lock security, allowing you to send customised access rights to your home directly through your smartphone. This technology represents a significant leap forward in how we manage entry to our homes.
Types of E-Key Access
Our cloud based e-key system allows you to tailor the type of access you want to grant based on your need. You can generate one-time, recurring, permanent, time-sliced duration types of e-keys.
- One-Time Access - This type of access is perfect for single-visit guests as it automatically expires after use. Ideally, you can use them to allow access to delivery or service providers.
- Recurring Access - Through recurring access, you can customise frequency options and set up scheduled entry periods which is a great way to let in regular maintenance staff.
- Time-Sliced Duration - You can control access on a day-by-day basis and specify exact access windows (e.g., 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM) which is perfect for short-term or one-time service providers.
- Permanent Access - Permanent access is suitable for family members as it provides continuous access rights which are also easily revokable when needed.
Comprehensive Access Methods
Our digital locks for doors aren’t confined to one method of access. A single lock offers multiple ways to gain entry. You can choose the one that works best for you:
- Fingerprint ID

- RFID capability
