Lion Head Carlisle compact smart lock

Who the Carlisle suits

The Carlisle is the small one. It is only 135 mm tall, so it suits a door where a long smart lock would look out of place, or where you just want to swap an old knob for a keypad without changing much. It comes with an adjustable tubular latch for a 60 or 70 mm backset, the same as most knob and lever sets.

It is a good pick for a side door, a granny flat, a home office with its own entry, or a front door on a family home where you are happy to use the lock at the door and don’t need to open it from work.

What we check before we fit it

• The existing hole. We check the backset and the bore in your door. If it is a 60 or 70 mm tubular latch now, the Carlisle’s latch adjusts to suit.
• Door thickness. It suits doors from 35 to 65 mm.
• Old holes. A small lock can leave marks from a bigger old lock showing. We tell you how they will be covered before we start.
• Weather. The outside part is rated IP55, fine under a porch. On a door with no cover at all, we will talk you through it.
• Remote access. If you think you might want it later, we check your WiFi reaches the door for a gateway.

Living with the Carlisle

• Batteries. It runs on 4 AA batteries, up to 12 months depending on use, according to Lion Head.
• Flat batteries. Plug a power bank into the USB C port and enter your code, or use the key.
• The key. It takes a traditional 5 pin key on an LW4 or C4 keyway, so a spare can be cut like any house key.
• Users. Up to 200 fingerprints, 150 PIN codes and 200 cards.
• Adding a gateway. Add a Lion Head WiFi gateway later and you can open the door and send codes from anywhere.

Carlisle or Regent?

Both swap straight in for a knob or lever set on the same adjustable latch. The Carlisle is the compact one with a standard 5 pin key. The Regent is a larger lock, 200 mm tall. See the Lion Head Regent.

Common questions

Can the Lion Head Carlisle replace a door knob?

Yes, that is what it is made for. It comes with an adjustable tubular latch for a 60 or 70 mm backset, which suits most knob and lever sets.

Does the Carlisle have WiFi?

Not built in. It talks to your phone by Bluetooth at the door. Add a Lion Head WiFi gateway if you want to open it from anywhere.

Can I get a spare key cut for the Carlisle?

Yes. It uses a traditional 5 pin key on an LW4 or C4 keyway, so spares are cut like a normal house key.

What happens if the Carlisle batteries go flat?

The lock warns you when the batteries are getting low. If they do go flat, plug a phone power bank into the USB C port on the outside and enter your code, or open it with the backup key. If you are still stuck, call us on 0427 580 823, any time.
