Digital Lock and Grille

Can a digital lock be installed on grille door? Yes of course. But there are some aspect to consider.

One of the problem is on majority grille, the gap ia big enough for a hand to go in, hence the hand can just press a button on inside of the lock and voila, the digital lock is unlocked. That’s how digital lock functions. Auto lock when door close, and to unlock from inside simply press a button.

Knowing this one of tha way is to make the grille (if you not yet make or buy) in a design that the gap will not allow hand to go through. Just like in this photo above.

Another way is there are actually models that are specific for grille. From inside, there is no button to press to unlock. You have to use remote control (usually will stick on inside wall beside your wooden door), and can also use key to unlock from inside. Yes need key or remote, so even if a hand can go through grille, no way to unlock. From outside can use passcode or cards or fingerprint. There are St Guchi or Yale if you look for such a locks.
