Easy to install on inside of door
The NB-IoT smart deadbolt is easy to install on the inside of your door. You don't need a tradesperson and it involves no drilling or screwing into the door. Remove the back cover of your existing deadbolt and attach the smart deadbolt with the specially designed bracket.
Safely receive parcels inside your house
You can share access to your delivery drivers by simply asking them to scan the QR code on your door, and then scanning your package barcode. Scanning QR code/parcel barcode provides a one-off unlock so your delivery driver can slide your package inside without having to enter your house. The door will automatically close afterwards with the door closer.
Digital Keys unlocking
You can create time-limited digital keys in seconds in the digital keys app and share them easily with friends and family. You don't have to be within a certain range of the smartlock for unlocking over the NB-IoT network.
Always alert like an alarm
The NB-IoT smart deadbolt senses any door movement (e.g unusual vibrations, when its locked so you can receive instant notifications to your phone if anyone tampers with your door. Its like having a monitored alarm, as the lock will notify you if anyone is attempting to break in in an instant.
You don't need to change your locks
The NB-IoT smart deadbolt is an attachment lock, which means you don't have to change your locks. Keep the same locks on your door. All you have to do to installed is to remove the back piece of your existing deadbolt lock, and then use the special brackets to lock into place. You don't need to drill into your door either. Installation is so easy and takes only 2-3 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Will Narrowband Smartlock work on my lock?
Narrowband smartlock works on most standard single cylinder deadbolt locks (which operate independently from your knob/lever lock). If you need to use a key to lock your deadbolt on the inside of the door, then you have a double standard deadbolt (Narrowband Smartlock will not work on double cylinder deadbolts). But you can easily replace to a single cylinder deadbolt at your local hardware store for $10-$50. See compatibility diagram below. If you are still unsure, please send us an email info@digitalkeys.io
Can I still use my original key or manually lock/unlock the door
Yes, of course. Your deadbolt lock cylinder remains how it was before on the outside of your door, and you can still use your metal key. You can also turn the Narrowband Smartlock to unlock your door when leaving.
Will the NB IoT smart padlocks work in my country?
NB IoT networks have been rolling out in dozens of countries across the planet. Please check our page 'NB IoT Network Map' for country rollout details. Also please send us an email with your country and we will chase up with our telco partners about NB IoT network availability around you.
Do I have to change my locks to install Narrowband Smartlock?
No you don’t change your locks. All you have to do is screw Narrowband over the top of your existing deadbolt on the inside of your door. It’s a deadbolt attachment!
Do you have discounts for bulk volume purchases?
Yes, please email us at info@digitalkeys.io to discuss your needs and wants.
How do you get such a long battery life (around 2 years) as compared to only a few months with other connected locks (e.g Wi-Fi/BLE)?
Our locks remain in sleep mode most of the time, conserving battery, and are only woken up for a couple of seconds when you need to use the lock (e.g to unlock it, get live audit). All other connected locks are constantly on and connected to the internet sucking up battery life.
Where does the data lie, and who controls the data of the NB IoT smartlocks?
Our cloud servers are hosted at Amazon Web Services (AWS) in your local country. No one has access to your data except you. If you want to host the system on your local servers, please get in touch with us to discuss further at info@digitalkeys.io
Where is my data held and who controls it?
Your data is safely secured and managed at your telecommunication Company who you sign up with for the connectivity services. All our smart access system services and data rests with the telecommunication companies who follow strict data legislation, standards and policies to ensure the highest levels of data security, privacy and integrity. If you can trust the telecommunication companies with your mobile phones, and mobile data, then you can trust them for NB IoT smart access.
What if my phone runs out of batteries?
You can always still use your metal key to open the door – the Narrowband is installed on the inside of your door over your deadbolt, the locks on the exterior of the door remain the same. Alternatively, you can also use a friend or neighbor’s phone to download the app, use your login to the app to unlock your door, and then delete the app. You can also use the provided keycards, fobs, stickers and rings to unlock, which are programmed to work permanently and ongoing for your Narrowband Smartlock. If you want to make time limited keycards/key tokens, you can use the Digital Keys app.
How difficult is it to install the different pieces of Narrowband?
You can install all the parts of Narrowband smartlock in minutes with only a screwdriver. See image below.
What if the power goes out?
Narrowband Smartlock runs on 4AA batteries, it does not require mains power.
What if the Narrowband smartlock runs out of batteries?
How many Digital Keys can I make and send to others?
There are no limits to the amount of digital keys you can generate and share with others. You are in control of who you want to “authorize” and for how long/specific dates and times/regular dates and times. You can also cancel the digital keys at anytime in seconds in the apps and software
How many Narrowband Smartlocks can I manage/control simultaneously?
You can manage as many Narrowband smartlocks as possible on just the one account. This makes it easy to manage multiple properties and multiple doors. Such as in offices or for managing lots of rental properties. You can connect new locks to your account at anytime too - you can try one door, and add more later if you like. You can group doors on one site, in one app, and even find sites on maps (for PC based software account). There is no setup involved by you. We connect to your account when we ship.
What is the warranty and return policy?
We guarantee that Narrowband Smartlock will work for your door if your lock is a single cylinder separate deadbolt. We refund you 100% in case of product defect or incompatibility - we don't think it will happen though :) The product also comes with a 2-year warranty.
How secure is Narrowband smartlock? Can it be hacked?
All other technologies used in smartlocks have been hacked but not the technology we use – which is NB IoT. This technology has been built specifically for use in smart devices, and has many levels of security features and encryptions throughout.
Can I use Narrowband Smartlock on common doors, such as the front door to an apartment building?
Yes – this door will need a single cylinder detached deadbolt though, and we also suggest you get the building owner approval for this. If you would like this feature, please email us to notify that this is its intended use, so we can set up the product properly.
Is Narrowband Smartlock waterproof?
No, its not waterproof, because it installs on the inside of your door, in the inside of your home/building, where there is no rain, or snow, so its does not need to be waterproof and its in a safe position, where no-one can tamper with it.
Where can I learn more about Narrowband IoT network?
Is there a developer API? Can Narrowband be connected to other smart devices?
Yes! We have an API that is available for developers to build their own integrations to their own products/services. For companies looking to integrate their buildings with Narrowband smartlock, our developers can support you, please email us info@digitalkeys.io for more information.
What are the smartphone requirements and other requirements for Narrowband Smartlock?
What batteries does Narrowband Smartlock use?
4 standard AA batteries. You can get the standard batteries in any supermarket.
Is Narrowband Smartlock compatible with Apple Homekit?
No. The concept of Narrowband Smartlock is not to use Wi-Fi or be compatible with hubs or kits that rely on Wi-Fi, as Wi-Fi is expensive, unreliable, has blackspots and requires onsite network infrastructure and equipment.
