Overview
The Sciener Smart Lock is the heart of our access control ecosystem. It replaces a single metal key with five ways to enter — fingerprint, passcode, IC card, smartphone app, and mechanical key — while logging every entry and supporting remote management when paired with a Gateway.
Whether you are securing a single front door, a hundred hotel rooms, or a block of apartments, the same lock scales from standalone operation to a fully cloud-managed fleet.
Key features
- Multi-factor entry. Fingerprint, passcode, IC card, Bluetooth app unlock and mechanical key — combine any of them per door.
- Fast fingerprint recognition. Capacitive sensor recognises a enrolled finger in under a second; stores dozens of prints per lock.
- Time-limited passcodes. Generate temporary codes (one-time, recurring, or scheduled) for guests, cleaners or contractors — ideal for short-term rentals.
- Offline by design. All authorisation happens on the lock, so it keeps working during a network or power outage.
- Remote-ready. Add a gateway for real-time alerts, remote unlock and cloud history.
- Long battery life. Months of operation on standard batteries, with low-battery alerts well before they run out.

Installation guide
- Check the door. Confirm the door thickness and backset match the lock's specification, and that the latch bore and cross bore are correctly drilled.
- Fit the latch and strike. Install the latch into the door edge and align the strike plate on the frame so the bolt engages cleanly.
- Mount the exterior and interior. Pass the spindle and cable through the latch, then secure the outside and inside assemblies to the door.
- Power up. Insert the batteries in the interior assembly. The lock will initialise and beep to confirm.
- Initialise in the app. Open the TTLock / Sciener app, create (or open) a lock, and follow the pairing flow to bind the lock over Bluetooth.
- Enrol users. Add fingerprints, passcodes and cards. Test each credential before relying on it.
Tip: Always keep at least one fingerprint or passcode enrolled as an administrator before handing the lock over, and store a mechanical key off-site as a failsafe.
Use cases
- Homes and apartments — stop hiding keys under the mat; let family in with a fingerprint.
- Hotels and serviced apartments — issue mobile keys and self-expiring codes; integrate with the PMS.
- Short-term rentals — automate check-in/check-out with time-limited codes and arrival alerts.
- Offices and coworking spaces — manage staff and visitor access on schedules, with full audit logs.
FAQ
What happens when the batteries die? The lock gives low-battery warnings for weeks in advance. If batteries do run out, you can unlock from the outside using a power bank via the emergency USB port, or use the mechanical key.
Can a guest open the door without the app? Yes. You can issue a temporary passcode remotely (via a gateway) or a physical IC card, so guests never need to install anything.
Is fingerprint data stored in the cloud? No. Fingerprints are stored encrypted on the lock itself; only a reference is synced to your account, so biometric data never leaves the device.
