Outside of the door
Stand back and capture the complete door, frame, current handle and lock in one clear photo.
FREE PROJECT CHECK
Tell us what you need and where you are. For smart locks, we’ll review five required door photos, plus a security-door clearance photo if applicable, and your actual measurements before confirming the model, installation and final price.
5 REQUIRED PHOTOS + 1 IF APPLICABLE
Use daylight where possible, hold your phone steady and keep the whole area described below in frame.
6 simple stepsSwipe or use your arrow keys to review each photo
Stand back and capture the complete door, frame, current handle and lock in one clear photo.
Capture the complete inside face, including every handle, thumb-turn, lock and the surrounding frame.
Open the door and show the latch or mortise faceplate. Place a tape measure across the edge so the full door thickness and scale are readable.
Record the actual reading in millimetres rather than estimating it.
On the side with the least room, hold a tape horizontally across the lock area from the opening edge to the nearest glass panel, moulding or obstruction. Keep the current hardware and measurement readable.
Record the narrowest available width in millimetres. If the two sides differ, photograph the narrower side.
With the door open, take a straight-on photo of the frame where the latch or bolt enters. Show the complete current strike plate, its screws and the surrounding frame. If there is more than one plate, include them all.
If you have a security or screen door, photograph a tape measure across the smallest gap where the new lock and outer door could meet.
Record the actual gap in millimetres. If there is no second door, tell us that instead.
Keep people, house numbers, keys, access cards, PINs and entry codes out of every photo. We only need to see the door, frame, hardware and measuring tape. Submitted photos are for compatibility and quoting only; we will not use them in marketing without separate permission.
