A practical planning resource for locksmiths, door professionals, security dealers, low-voltage teams, and access-control integrators evaluating biometric smart-lock projects. Ora FacePass can help organize model-fit questions, door information, pilot requirements, and customer documentation before a proposed opening moves toward installation.

Online checkout is not open. Products are visible for research and project consultation, and every installation should be reviewed for the exact door, hardware, use case, and locally applicable requirements.

Who this resource is for

  • Locksmiths and door-hardware professionals evaluating retrofit fit
  • Security and access-control integrators adding a smart-lock option to a broader project
  • Low-voltage and technology teams coordinating connected features
  • Property vendors supporting multifamily, office, hospitality, coworking, or vacation-rental projects
  • Dealers and consultants assembling a pilot or customer proposal

What Ora FacePass can help evaluate

  • Which current product family may fit the documented door preparation
  • What additional measurements, photos, or manufacturer information are needed
  • Which credential methods and fallback workflows belong in the project plan
  • How to structure a small pilot before a wider rollout
  • Which current product, installation, warranty, or support documents are available for review
  • What open questions should be assigned to the installer, owner, architect, door consultant, IT team, privacy counsel, or authority having jurisdiction

Ora FacePass does not replace a qualified installer, code professional, door consultant, privacy advisor, or project-specific review. A component feature or general product description does not establish compliance for a complete opening.

Information to send before a project review

  1. Opening evidence: full door, door edge, frame, strike, hinges, closer, labels, existing hardware, and clearance photos.
  2. Measurements: door thickness, bore pattern, backset, center-to-center spacing, faceplate dimensions, and relevant mortise or multipoint details.
  3. Operating condition: whether the door closes, latches, and locks smoothly without lifting, pushing, or pulling.
  4. User workflow: resident, employee, guest, vendor, administrator, temporary-access, offboarding, and emergency-entry needs.
  5. Project context: quantity, property type, location, schedule, installer, decision process, and pilot goals.
  6. Constraints: ratings, egress, accessibility, warranty, network, account ownership, data handling, and integration questions.

Partner project workflow

1. Survey the opening

Use one survey for every distinct opening type. Similar-looking doors can contain different preparations, frames, strikes, locking mechanisms, labels, or field conditions.

2. Identify a model-fit starting point

Review the FP01 vs FP02 vs FP03 comparison, the double-bore vs mortise guide, and the door compatibility checklist. Treat the result as a starting point until the exact opening is verified.

3. Define the access and administration workflow

Document enrollment, administrator ownership, alternatives to biometrics, temporary credentials, revocation, offboarding, emergency access, account recovery, and after-hours support. Use the credential lifecycle guide to turn features into an operating procedure.

4. Pilot and commission

For multi-door or operationally sensitive projects, define a limited pilot, acceptance test, exception list, training owner, maintenance plan, and rollout decision before expanding.

Frequently asked partner questions

Can I order online today?

No. The Shopify store is operating as a product catalog and consultation site, and checkout remains unavailable.

Does Ora FacePass install locks?

Installation responsibility depends on the project. The local party evaluating and modifying the opening should be qualified for the door, hardware, and applicable requirements. Use the consultation form to describe the project team and requested support.

Can compatibility be confirmed from a model name alone?

No. The exact opening, preparation, dimensions, hardware, handing, clearances, condition, and project constraints must be reviewed.

Do you guarantee code or privacy compliance?

No. Product planning materials help organize questions and evidence; they do not replace legal, code, accessibility, cybersecurity, or professional advice.
