FAQ β€” Maswali ya Kawaida

Smart Lock & Access Control Kenya β€” FAQs

How much does smart door lock installation cost in Kenya?+
A single-door biometric access control system (ZKTeco F18 fingerprint reader, magnetic lock, power supply, battery backup, door closer, exit button and break glass) costs KSh 45,000–55,000 fully installed. A ZKTeco ML100 WiFi smart lock (no magnetic lock needed) is KSh 38,000–48,000 installed. Face recognition systems start from KSh 85,000 per door. Multi-door office systems from KSh 185,000 for 4 doors. Use our live quote tool above for an exact itemised price.
Can the system be hacked or opened without a registered fingerprint?+
ZKTeco biometric readers store encrypted fingerprint templates β€” not photographs β€” that cannot be reverse-engineered. Without a registered fingerprint or card, the reader will not activate. All systems include a mechanical key override for emergencies, and the door can only be forced open by physically destroying the magnetic lock (rated 280kg holding force). Incorrect fingerprint attempts trigger an alarm after configurable failed attempts.
What happens when KPLC power goes off β€” will the door open or stay locked?+
Every system we install includes a 12V 7Ah sealed battery backup as standard. When mains power fails, the battery automatically takes over and keeps the door lock and reader operational for 6–12 hours, depending on usage. During commissioning, we configure whether the magnetic lock should "fail safe" (unlocks on power loss β€” for fire safety) or "fail secure" (stays locked β€” for high-security areas). We recommend fail safe for main entrance and fail secure for server rooms or cash offices.
Does it need internet or WiFi to work?+
No β€” all ZKTeco standalone readers (F18, F22, K40, SpeedFace) store users and operate completely offline. No internet or WiFi is required for the door to open. Network connectivity (TCP/IP or WiFi) is only needed if you want to: manage multiple doors from a central computer, export time attendance reports, or remotely add/remove users. The ZKTeco ML100 smart home lock uses WiFi for remote control via the app β€” but still works offline using fingerprint or PIN if WiFi is unavailable.
How many fingerprints or users can be registered?+
ZKTeco F18 and F22 readers store up to 3,000 fingerprint users. The SpeedFace V5L stores 6,000 face templates and 10,000 fingerprint users. Multi-door panel systems (inBio260/460) store up to 30,000 users across all connected doors. For hotel locks, each room lock stores the current guest's card and the master hierarchy cards β€” there's no practical limit on the number of rooms in the system.
Can I install it on my existing door without replacing it?+
In most cases, yes. A surface-mount magnetic lock clamps to the door frame and door with a ZL bracket β€” no modification to the door or frame needed. The fingerprint reader mounts separately beside the door. For the ZKTeco ML100 smart lock, the existing mechanical mortise lock cylinder is replaced with the smart lock body β€” this requires a standard 5050 European mortise prep, which most Kenyan doors with lever handles already have. Our engineers assess door compatibility during the free site survey.
Bei ya smart lock Kenya ni ngapi? (What is the price of a smart lock in Kenya?)+
Bei ya smart lock Kenya: ZKTeco ML100 (fingerprint + WiFi + PIN + card) inaanzia KSh 38,000 hadi 48,000 ikijumuisha installation. Biometric fingerprint reader (ZKTeco F18) na magnetic lock kwa mlango mmoja inaanzia KSh 45,000 hadi 55,000 fully installed. Face recognition (SpeedFace) inaanzia KSh 85,000.
