PRIVATE
Private-label smart locks built under your brand. The product you sell should not be traceable back to someone else's catalogue — so we build locks that carry your mould, your firmware identity, and your company name in the certificate holder field.
What this page answers
Private mould, or a proven platform
Your legal entity we are recorded as manufacturer
Six dimensions two need new tooling
Against your launch date not a standard lead time
Nothing on this page commits you to a quantity, a price or a date. Those are agreed per project, once we know the enclosure and the market.

Route A or Route B
Most first orders start on Route B and migrate to Route A on the second or third reorder. Starting on B is not a downgrade — it is how you find out whether the market wants the product before you pay for steel.

WHAT CHANGES
Two of the six need new tooling; the other four do not. That split — not the calendar — is what decides whether a private mould is worth it.
Logo on lock body, retail box, manual, quick-start card and app splash screen. Laser or pad print, single or two colour.
Enclosure shape, colour, surface finish, keypad layout, indicator light position. Requires a new injection mould for the front and back cover.
Mortise size, backset, door thickness range, handle direction, cylinder type. Touches die-cast and stamping tooling, so it is the slowest dimension to move.
App name, icon, colour scheme, onboarding flow, language set, and the unlock methods exposed to the user. Built on the Tuya or TT Lock SDK under your developer account.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee or Matter on the same enclosure. Switching does not need a new mould, which matters when your market mix changes mid-project.
Box structure, print, insert tray, barcode and compliance label, multi-language manual, warranty card. Retail-ready or e-commerce drop-proof outer.
Which Lock
A family is not a model. It is the shape the category already expects at your price point — and the place your name has room to go.
The shape that carries a category. Mortise body, lever handle, keypad or fingerprint on the face — a configuration a buyer recognises without being taught, priced to defend a shelf position. <br> Decided by： enclosure material and finish
Where the enclosure is the product. Narrow profile, single-surface front, fewer visible seams. Costs more per unit, and it is the only version a retailer will put in a window.
For markets already on deadbolts. Fits the existing bore, so your customer does not re-drill a door to enter the category. The shortest route to a first SKU.

| Why it is on this page | The shelf SKU. A shape a buyer recognises without being taught, and the one that carries a category at retail. | For markets where the keypad still sells the product and a fingerprint-only version sits unsold. | The second and third SKU in a range — bedrooms, rentals, a lower price band without a new enclosure. | Opens a category a retailer cannot serve with a mortise lock. Sold as a range extension, not a replacement. |

In the carton
Half of what you ship is not the lock. The carton is fixed at spec freeze, not at shipment: structure and finish (rigid or folding, spot UV, foil, matte lamination, die-line as an approved PDF), the compliance panel — CE, RoHS, importer and batch details — read against your market's labelling rules, the document set inside, and the weight and dimension declared per SKU so your freight quote is not a guess.
Bad Fit
Private-label work starts at a spec freeze. If the launch date is already fixed and the artwork is not, the schedule is the risk — not the product.
Tooling is paid once and amortised across a line. On a single model it is a cost you will not recover, and a shared platform is the honest answer.
We build and ship. Listing, pricing, returns and the customer relationship stay with you — that is what private label means.
Before you brief us
If your question is not here, it is usually because the answer depends on your door spec — send it and we will answer in writing.
You do. It is invoiced to you as a separate line, engraved with your reference, and held under a custody record. It can be transferred to another facility or shipped to you on request.
Yes, as a paid sample run. We do not run free samples on private-label work, because the setup is a real cost — but that portion is credited back against your first mass order.
On CE and RoHS, yes — you are the applicant and the holder, we are recorded as manufacturer. On FCC, the grantee code must belong to the entity filing, so we either transfer a grantee code to you or file under yours if you already hold one. We will tell you which applies before you pay anything.
Not on Route A. A private mould is exclusive by contract for the life of the tooling, and the enclosure cannot be ordered by anyone else. On Route B the platform is shared by definition — which is exactly why Route B costs less.
Door type, target market, annual volume, and whether the enclosure has to be yours. That is enough for us to tell you which route fits.
