Research-based: compiled from the manufacturer's information and Australian retailer listings. NXT Smart Home has not tested this product.
Best for: Homeowners and Apple Home users wanting multiple entry methods, including Apple Home Key and fingerprint unlocking, for sheltered entrance doors.
The Aqara A100 (model ZNMS02ES) is a mortise smart door lock designed for keyless access using Zigbee 3.0, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. According to Aqara, the lock features nine entry methods, including a handle-mounted fingerprint reader, backlit keypad PIN codes, physical mechanical keys, NFC cards, and native Apple Home Key integration. Because the hardware does not contain onboard Wi-Fi, it communicates locally over Bluetooth or pairs with an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub to connect to home networks and smart platforms. The unit operates on eight AA batteries, which Aqara estimates will last up to 18 months under standard use, and features a hidden external USB-C port for emergency power input.
The A100 suits Apple Home users looking for Apple Home Key functionality, allowing an iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock the door with a tap. It also serves households wanting flexible local access management without ongoing monthly fees, supporting up to 50 individual fingerprints, 50 PIN codes, and 25 NFC devices. The Aqara Home app allows owners to configure permanent, periodic, or one-time temporary codes for visitors and trades.
However, this lock is not suitable for doors exposed directly to the elements. With an IP53 water-resistance rating and no fire rating according to Aqara Australia, it requires an undercover entryway or porch. Buyers relying on Amazon Alexa or Samsung SmartThings should look elsewhere, as official documentation does not confirm support for those ecosystems. Furthermore, remote operation and Google Assistant voice control depend entirely on purchasing a separate Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub.
Before purchasing in Australia, verify your door dimensions. Retailer listings specify a backset of 60 mm and a supported door thickness between 40 mm and 80 mm. Standard external doors in Australia often measure 35 mm to 38 mm thick, meaning thinner doors will require modifications or packer plates to install correctly. Renters should talk to their landlord and check their state or territory tenancy authority before making permanent changes to existing door locks.
For smart home connectivity, the lack of native Wi-Fi means no 2.4GHz network configuration is needed out of the box, keeping local Bluetooth operation functional without router dependencies. Aqara Australia backs the lock with a 12-month manufacturer warranty through local retailers including Bunnings, JB Hi-Fi, and Officeworks.

DO NOT BUY, THIS IS NOT USER FRIENDLY. Had it added to my brand new door, at a great expense, and after looking online, it's COMMON to have issues, and I wish I had researched properly before purchase. I'm almost to the ...

Terribly refined product and no customer support. The strike plate isn't big enough for the latch and dints the jamb until it makes a groove.

This door lock looks fantastic and seems to responds well however the strike plate supplies is nothing like the template and has no tang meaning every time the door closes it damages your door jamb.

The A100 lock doesn't need another good review. The difference between one A100 seller and another is the quality of its installation service. In my case I had an issue with the way my lock was installed which involved t ...
