Can you put a smart door lock on security door or metal door?

On a security door, the main, one single consideration that we should consider, is the inter-connecting Triple/ Quad Locking System. When the lock is locked, besides the main locking is engaged, there are 2 more bolts (on top, and on bottom of the door) that will be engaged together. That’s what makes a security door lock so strong and so secured. It’s the same concept as the bank’s vault door, just not up to that sort of level. So when you choose a smart door lock for security door, keep this in mind

The trick in choosing a smart door lock or digital door lock for security door is to make sure after installing, those inter-connecting bolts still functions together with the smart door lock. Only models that are designed for such functions can be used.
