Smart locks in Australia: how to choose
Short answer: Arklyfe sells 13 smart locks, from AU$148 for a Matter gate lock to AU$823 for a 3D face-recognition lock with a video intercom. If you use Apple Home or another Matter platform, choose one of the four JINK Matter over Thread locks. If you want to see and talk to visitors, choose a video intercom lock (M30, K11, M20, M17 or JINK Lock Pro). If you simply want keyless entry by fingerprint and PIN, the K7 and K8 start at AU$269. For door-fit checks, batteries, Apple Home setup and rental rules, read our smart lock buyer's guide.

Which smart locks work with Apple Home?
The JINK P8, Lock Pro, Lock Air and Lock N400 use Matter over Thread, so they can be added to Apple Home and other Matter platforms. You need a Thread border router and Matter controller, such as an Apple HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K for Apple Home. The M-series, K11 and TTS-06 use the Tuya app instead. See our guide to setting up Apple Home with Matter over Thread.
Will it fit my door?
Check before you buy. Fit depends on door thickness and material, the existing lock and mortise, the backset, existing holes and which way the door opens. For example, our video intercom locks list a 45–120 mm door thickness and a 6068/6085 mortise. Specifications vary by selected model; have a qualified installer confirm the exact model and door before ordering. Do not apply one model’s measurements to another. Send us photos of your door, the existing lock and the door edge and we will confirm which locks fit. Apartment entry doors may be fire-rated and need body corporate approval, so check first.
