Choosing Door Security
Choose door security by the job: locking the door, seeing who is there, or knowing when it opens.
Electric locking bolts
On access-controlled doors, a solenoid or drop bolt is switched by the door controller. Fail-safe models such as the STP STP-EB250 and RGL DBGLS150 unlock when power is lost, keeping the exit open to people leaving, while fail-secure models such as the STP STP-SB260 and CDVI DX22 stay locked. Drop bolts such as the Abloy FF843 and RGL DBGLS150 also fit glass doors.
Deadlocks and smart locks
Mechanical deadlocks here include the Union B-3G114-SC-67, a 5 lever mortice deadlock with a 14mm bolt throw, and the Adams Rite 2200-110, which has a ceramic core in its bolt against hacksaw attack. The EZVIZ DL01S fits over an existing deadbolt on the inside of the door for keyless unlocking by app and Bluetooth, with no drilling.
Video doorbells and door contacts
A video doorbell lets you see and talk to a caller from your phone: the Ajax DoorBell 66390.125.WH1 has a 4 MP HDR camera, a PIR sensor and AI detection of people, pets and vehicles, and the EZVIZ HP3 Pro runs on a battery with a solar panel. To know when a door opens, wireless Ajax DoorProtect contacts such as the 121293.03.WH1 report to an Ajax hub over Jeweller radio.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure locks?
A fail-safe lock unlocks when power is removed, and a fail-secure lock stays locked. The STP STP-EB133 is fail safe, allowing egress in a power failure, which suits escape routes. The STP STP-SB260 is fail secure, so the bolt remains locked if power is cut, and it has a key override. The Abloy EL580-50MM is listed with both fail-locked and fail-unlocked operation.
What is an electric drop bolt?
A drop bolt is an electrically operated bolt for locking swing doors, including glass doors. The Abloy FF843 fits horizontally or vertically, can be fitted to glass doors and unlocks automatically for 9 seconds; the RGL DBGLS150 is a fail-safe glass door drop bolt with a relock timer of 3, 6 or 9 seconds; and the STP STP-EB170 suits single or double action doors.
Can an electric lock report whether the door is shut?
Yes, many bolts here include door position monitoring. The STP STP-EB133 has a door status contact that shows whether the door is open or closed, the STP STP-EB150 and STP-EB180 monitor door position with a variable relock delay, and the Abloy FF843 has integrated door and locking monitoring contacts.
Can I fit a smart lock without changing my deadbolt?
Yes, with a retrofit adapter. The EZVIZ DL01S fits on the inside of most standard deadbolts with no drilling and unlocks by app or local Bluetooth. Remote access and notifications need the EZVIZ A3 Home Gateway on Zigbee, and the kit version adds the DL01CP outdoor keypad, rated IP56, with passcode and proximity-card entry and a doorbell.
How is a video doorbell powered?
By battery, by a wired supply, or a mix of the two, depending on the model. The Ajax DoorBell 66392.125.GP1 is wired at 12–24 V DC or 16–24 V AC; the EZVIZ HP3 Pro has an internal battery, a solar panel and USB-C charging with optional 8–24 V AC wiring; and the Pyronix DoorbellCam2 charges by USB-C or can be hard-wired to 12–24VAC.
Does a video doorbell need a subscription to record?
Not always, because several doorbells here store clips locally. The EZVIZ EP3x Pro and HP3 Pro have 32 GB of built-in eMMC storage, so basic recording needs no subscription, and the Pyronix DoorbellCam2 records to a microSD card without a subscription. Optional cloud storage is listed for the EZVIZ EP3x Pro and the Pyronix DoorbellCam2.
Should I choose a wired or wireless door contact?
Choose wired on an Ajax Fibra system and wireless where cables are impractical. The Ajax DoorProtect Fibra 44393.03.WH1 connects over the Fibra wired bus, and the DoorProtect Plus Fibra adds shock and tilt sensing. The wireless DoorProtect U 121293.03.WH1 uses Jeweller radio with a pre-installed CR123A battery that lasts up to 7 years in typical use.
What is an Ajax SmartBracket?
It is the mounting panel for Ajax DoorProtect detectors. The SmartBracket, such as the 9520.03.BL, lets you fix the detector without opening its case, keeps its tamper function working through a perforated section and makes battery changes easier. The 22051.03.BL and 22053.03.WH versions hold the magnet half of DoorProtect and DoorProtect Plus contacts.
What comes in an Ajax door and alarm kit?
A hub, detectors and sirens ready to install together. The Ajax KIT2 S 90765.243.WH1 includes a Hub 2, two MotionProtect S detectors, a DoorProtect S door sensor, two SpaceControl keyfobs, a StreetSiren and a HomeSiren S, and the KIT5 S 90771.246.WH1 swaps the keyfobs for a KeyPad Plus S. EZVIZ also offers a 4-piece home sensor kit.
