I didn’t notice the Alfred lock had that optional Z-Wave module. I’ll look into it.

I have a Mortise lock with Thumb by Knob handle set . Looking for smart wireless lock without having to drill extra holes in door? Any ideas?

Any particular reason you didn’t review Alfred? It’s been rock solid for me

I’ve ordered similar ones and they just don’t work in the US. the lock box size is different (iirc 160″ vs 200″ or so). I basically gave up and am considering going the route of replacing the door and converting the mortise opening to a deadbolt (cost is basically the same as buying the mortise locks that would fit here anyhow)

Problem is that most (if not all) of those are for China’s mortise standard, which is different than the standard we have in the US. I’m not sure why these locks are so exclusive, but even the Locky ones are typically only sold wholesale, which is highly annoying.
