The Lion Head Collins is a mid sized digital entrance lock made to replace an ordinary knob or lever set. It opens by fingerprint, PIN code, card or fob, the phone app over Bluetooth, or a backup key. WiFi is not built in, so remote access through the app needs a Lion Head WiFi gateway. It suits hinged doors 35 to 65 mm thick on a tubular latch. Locksmiths Perth 24/7 supplies and fits it anywhere in Perth, Western Australia.

Who the Collins suits
A lot of Perth back doors, laundry doors and granny flat doors just have a knob or lever set on a tubular latch. The Collins is made for exactly that door. It swaps in for the old handle, so you get fingerprint and code entry without a big change to the door.
It suits a family where the kids keep losing keys, a tradie who wants the side door open by code, or a carer who needs a way in without a spare key under the mat.
What we check before we fit it
- The latch. Lion Head recommends its heavy duty adjustable tubular latch with the Collins, and it also works with Lion Head 5050 and 6050 mortice locks. It is sold without a lock body, so we bring the right latch for your door.
- Door thickness. It suits doors 35 to 65 mm thick, which covers most house doors.
- Old holes. The outside part is 255 mm tall and 65 mm wide. We check it covers the holes from the old knob or lever before we start.
- Weather. The rating is IP55 on the outside part only, so it is happiest on a door with some cover.
- The gateway. If you want remote access, we look at where a Lion Head WiFi gateway can plug in close enough to the door.
Living with the Collins
- Batteries. 4 AA batteries, rated by Lion Head at up to 12 months depending on use.
- Flat batteries. Power it from the USB C port with a power bank, then use your code, or use the backup key.
- Users. It holds 200 fingerprints, 150 PIN codes and 200 cards.
- The app. Bluetooth at the door, or anywhere once a gateway is added.
Collins or Nicholson?
They open the same ways and suit the same doors. The Collins is the slimmer one, made to replace a knob or lever set on a tubular latch. The Nicholson is wider and also takes Lion Head 85 series mortice locks. If your door has a mortice lock now, the Nicholson may be the easier swap. See the Lion Head Nicholson.

Common questions
Can the Lion Head Collins replace my door knob?
Yes, that is what it is made for. With a tubular latch it replaces an ordinary knob or lever set on a hinged door 35 to 65 mm thick.
Does the Collins work with a mortice lock?
It works with Lion Head 5050 and 6050 series mortice locks as well as its tubular latches. Send us a photo of the edge of your door and we will tell you which one suits.
Can I open the Collins from my phone?
Yes, through the app by Bluetooth when you are near the door. For remote access you need a Lion Head WiFi gateway, because WiFi is not built in.
