First, the KIN D in itself is not a lock, but a smart system that controls the electric lock/door of your choice (that should already be installed on your site) and there are many differences between Kindoo and other smart locks:

• Most of the smart locks work mostly on deadbolt locks only and require changing locks. They cannot operate on sliding doors, gates, turnstiles etc… while Kindoo can be integrated and retrofitted to any electric lock.
• Kindoo uses 256 bit encryption while most of the smart locks use 128 bit encryption
• Other smart locks are battery powered and require replacing batteries every few months.
• With Kindoo you can choose your physical security and decide what type of electric lock you would like to have
• While all other smart locks are bulky and visible, with Kindoo you can choose to hide your KIN D within the door or the wall making it completely invisible.

• KNX or EIB systems require a main cable installed all around the building
• They require a lot of wiring for sensors and actuators
• They need interoperable KNX approved products wired to a central system

In summary, KNX or EIB systems require different integrated operating devices connected with sensors to actuators through a main cable and couplers to a server that relays back to an interface. This type of system requires complex wiring and is usually planned during construction phase. Kindoo can interact with any 12 - 24 V (DC or AC) circuit without the need to change your devices or the need to worry about the internet connectivity of your site.

The KIN D can be installed on any type of electric door, whether it is a gate, garage door, sliding door, turnstile, boom barrier etc...

No, the KIN D can be retrofitted on any 12 - 24 V (DC or AC) electric lock.
