Mortice door set with biometric and PIN that works with double doors.

Dear OzExperts,

I have a double door front entrance that comes with a door set fit for Middle Earth - I've brought the keys to several hardware shops to have it cloned but I suspect only a blacksmith can cast me a new one.

Being used to biometric locks, I'd like to change this one to a biometric one also but my go-to Samsung locks do not work well with double doors.

I've been looking on and off for a product but I'm nearing the end of my capacity. The next stop is rip out the doors and Reno the front for a wide front door. Would like to avoid that if possible.

Any suggestions for product?

    Have you tried Moredoor? I hear they do hard-to-find metalwork.

      I am very disappointed that I googled the "business".

      OTOH, that is an amazing business name for a locksmith.

        It does work better spoken than typed out. And sorry for having nothing useful to contribute. Hopefully one of the resident experts here will chime in soon.

          All good. Half the purpose of forums are the lols.

    xiaomi aqara s2 is a mortice lock, not sure if it suits double doors though

      Thanks for the suggestion.

      The Aqara S2 looks like the Samsung ones I typically use. The problem with the Samsung is the latch is a little short and the unit is a little too thick.

      Obviously no one is targetting double doors as it is definitely out of fashion.

        i have aqara s2, can measure the latch if you like

          Wouldn't mind getting something to base the other offerings on. Thanks.

          I'm guessing you're a satisfied customer? Reliable?

            @[Deactivated]: I put mine in a 40mm wooden door, that was originally cylinder lock and deadbolt
            these are tailored more for hollow metal doors or doors that are fit for mortice,

            in hindsight i would have gotten ultraloq ul1, for ease of installation.

            (although ul1 doesnt have pin entry, the ul3 has pin entry + fingerprint, but fingerprint is not on handle)

            The xiaomi is reliable, but is missing some features like passage mode, i dont have the gateway yet so dont have access to all the features

            fingerprint is pretty reliable, I have entered my thumb as 2 different users to make sure it opens 90% of the time, when finger is wet or a little dirty it gets hard to open until everything is wiped down, pin still works touchpad is sensitive

            wife actually loves that it locks everytime the door closes, and i love that she doesnt lock me out everytime i leave the house!

              @berserkk:

              This. I have one in every house and shed.

              The door is a very old solid timber door but it does have some flex because of the cutout for stained glass. Entry into Hogwarts is not my thing.

              I placed mortice on wood frame doors too (but not into hollow core), not an issue. The strike plate and attachments makes the latching points very solid.

              It's a different nightmare when the strike plate is on a movable object. :(
