LOCKERY MINI VS LOCKERY PRO: WHICH SMART LOCK SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

CHOOSE LOCKERY MINI IF YOU WANT SIMPLE KEYLESS ENTRY

Lockery Mini is the better starting point when you want fingerprint access, PIN entry, app control, and a physical key backup without turning the door into a full video-intercom experience.

It is designed for compatible 35mm to 60mm doors and uses a single tongue/latch retrofit lock body. That makes it a strong fit for many homes, apartments, offices, and simple commercial doors where the main goal is replacing keys with easier everyday access.

• +Fingerprint, PIN code, app control, and physical key backup
• +Compatible door thickness range: 35mm to 60mm
• +Powered by four AA batteries
• +Lower product and installation add-on price than Pro

CHOOSE LOCKERY PRO FOR A MAIN ENTRANCE

Lockery Pro is the better match when the front door is also where visitors arrive, deliveries happen, and family members come and go throughout the day. It adds 3D face unlock, palm scan, card access, a built-in camera, live view, visual intercom, remote answering, and an indoor display.

Those features are most useful at a main entrance, not every door in the house. Pro also has a more involved mortice-style installation path, so door suitability matters before you choose it.

• +3D face unlock, palm scan, fingerprint, PIN code, card access, app control, and physical key backup
• +Built-in camera, visual intercom, live view, and remote answering
• +Compatible door thickness range: 40mm to 120mm
• +Rechargeable lithium battery

THE INSTALLATION DIFFERENCE MATTERS

The Mini installation add-on is AUD $250. The Pro installation add-on is AUD $350. The difference reflects the simpler Mini hardware versus the larger Pro mortice-style setup.

Before choosing Pro only for features, check whether your door can accept the hardware cleanly. Door thickness, existing cut-outs, backset, material, and apartment or strata restrictions can all affect suitability.

A PRACTICAL RULE OF THUMB

Choose Mini when the main job is replacing keys with fingerprint, PIN, app access, and a physical key backup. Choose Pro when the front door also needs hands-free biometrics, visitor visibility, and a more complete entry station.

If you are unsure, send door photos before buying. Clear photos of the inside, outside, and door edge can prevent the most common mismatch: choosing the lock by appearance before confirming what the door can accept.
