Lion Head Erskine slimline smart lock

Who the Erskine suits

The Erskine suits a slim door frame, or a door that already has a short backset or hook lock. It is 39 mm wide and comes with an 85 series mortice with a 35 mm backset, so on a lot of narrow doors it goes in without much fuss.

Lion Head lists more lock bodies for the Erskine than for most of its slimline locks: other 85 series backsets, hook locks for 92 series doors, and tubular latches too. That gives us room to work with what is already in your door.

What we check before we fit it

• What is in the door now. We check the lock body, its backset and pitch, and pick the mortice, hook lock or latch that suits.
• Sliding or hinged. The Erskine is listed for hinged doors. If you were hoping to put it on a sliding door, we will tell you honestly whether it suits.
• Door thickness. It suits doors from 35 to 65 mm.
• Weather. The outside part is rated IP55, fine under a porch or verandah.
• How the door closes. Narrow doors often drop on their hinges, so we check the latch lines up first.

Living with the Erskine

• 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 backup key.
• Users. Up to 200 fingerprints, 150 PIN codes and 200 cards, all in the Lion Head Lock Control or TTLock app.
• Adding a gateway. A Lion Head WiFi gateway later on lets you open the door and send codes from anywhere.

Erskine or Aspen?

Both are slimline Lion Head locks that come with an 85 series mortice. The Aspen is a little narrower at 34 mm and rated IP66 outside, on AAA batteries. The Erskine is 39 mm wide, rated IP55, on AA batteries, and works with more lock bodies. See the Lion Head Aspen.

Common questions

Will the Lion Head Erskine fit a narrow door?

It is made for narrow stiles, at 39 mm wide with a 35 mm backset mortice. Send us a photo of the door edge and we will check it fits.

What lock body does the Erskine use?

It comes with an 85 series mortice with a 35 mm backset. Lion Head also lists other 85 series mortices, hook locks and tubular latches it works with, so we match it to your door.

Does the Erskine have WiFi?

Not built in. It works by Bluetooth at the door, and a Lion Head WiFi gateway adds remote access.

What happens if the Erskine 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.
