Certification and marking
Which approval the market requires, and whether the certificate has to name the model. One mark does not answer every market.
Smart Locks by Market
A category is not sold the same way in every market. The door decides the family, but the market decides the certification, the material, the manual language and the packaging.

What Changes From One Market to the Next
Six variables that have to be answered before a specification is fixed. None of them is about the country as such - they are about the rules and the climate the product will meet.
Electrical supply
Battery-powered locks are supply-independent, which is an advantage. Where a lock or gateway uses a mains adapter, the plug and the voltage have to match.
Climate and exposure
Coastal, tropical and cold-climate sites change the material and the finish, not just the IP rating. Salt spray hours are the figure that matters.
Language of the manual
The manual language is a separate print run, so it belongs in the first quotation rather than being added after the order.
Packaging and retail rules
Barcode and labelling requirements differ, and a retail-ready box is a different product from a bulk carton.
Trade term and clearance
Who clears the goods and who pays the duty changes the landed cost more than the unit price does.
How to Confirm Your Market
Four questions, and we can tell you what the specification needs to change. They take longer to read than to answer.
Swipe the table sideways to see the full specification →
| 1. Destination country | And the city, where clearance and inland delivery matter |
|---|---|
| 2. The standard named | If a tender or a customer specifies one |
| 3. The door or fitting | Thickness, body or bore, and how it is hinged |
| 4. Who sells it on | Distributor, contractor, integrator, hotel, brand |

Market Questions
Four questions that come up wherever the order is going.
Market questions
Can you supply to our market?
Tell us the country and the standard your market requires. We will say which certificates we hold for the model, and where something would need a test rather than a document.
Do MOQ and lead time change by market?
No. 30 sets for door locks, 1 carton (20 pcs) for padlocks, samples in 3-7 days and bulk orders in 20-35 days. What changes is the certification and the packaging.
Which category fits our market best?
It depends on the door and the buyer, not on the country. A retrofit market takes deadbolts; a new-build project takes mortise locks. Tell us the door and we will say which family.
Can you ship on DDP to our country?
EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR and DDP are all available. For DDP, confirm whether the price includes duty and VAT, because the two are not the same and VAT may be recoverable to you.
