Can your door and gate locks unlock together?
Yes, with compatible models. The Xeno Alexi Pro has a built-in sync module for Xeno gate locks. The Bosch EL600VF supports gate lock sync, and Solity offers sync between compatible door and gate locks. Sync usually only works within the same brand, so check before you buy.
Do you need a fire-rated digital lock?
For most HDB and BTO main doors, yes. The lock must carry a Certificate of Conformity for that exact model. Of our picks, the Xeno Alexi Pro, Igloohome MT1 and Zigbang SHP-P72 are fire-rated for up to 60 minutes, the Philips 801-5HBS is fire-rated, and the Bosch EL600VF comes in a 60-minute fire-rated option. See our HDB Digital Lock Rules 2026 checklist.
What’s new for 2027?
Palm vein and 3D face are moving from doors to gates, as the Xeno X Gate shows. Matter and phone keys are becoming standard. The Aliro standard, launched in 2026, will make phone unlocking work across Apple, Google and Samsung. Read more in our best digital lock in Singapore for 2027 guide.
