Is It Possible to Install SwitchBot Lock on a Steel Door?

SwitchBot Customer Support

Last Updated: 2023 July 28

SwitchBot Lock is equipped with a magnetic sensor. Should you install this device onto a steel door, the Auto-Lock function may cease to work.
SwitchBot Lock may be affixed to your door using double-sided tape. In some living environments, you may find problems may occur, such as the double-sided tape peeling causing SwitchBot Lock to fall off due to thermal expansion and contraction.
The coating on steel doors may prevent your device from being attached securely using double-sided tape.

To prevent such issues, you may want to:

※Attach your SwitchBot Lock to your door using screws.

※Ensure your device is used in a temperature environment that ranges between 15°C to 35°C.
