Outdoor Smart Lock Sample Approval: OEM Checklist

An outdoor smart lock sample is useful only when buyers can identify what they received and what they agreed to approve. This proposed worksheet helps an OEM buyer, supplier and installer keep one configuration record from sample delivery through the bulk-order decision.

This is an approval plan, not a completed GwayLock factory test report. It contains no measured results, inspection photographs or claims that a sample has passed. Fill in the records for your actual sample and agree on acceptance criteria before the evaluation begins.

Give each sample an identifier and record its model, supplier reference, delivery date and intended project. Attach the quotation and the supplier's specification revision. For CB1 or CB2, record one selected Tuya or TTLock configuration. For CB3, obtain the app platform in writing because its catalogue entry does not name it.

Create one row per requirement with columns for requirement, agreed criterion, method or evidence, result, owner and disposition. Use specific project requirements rather than an undefined pass label. Set an agreed completion date for open questions and identify the person authorized to approve a change.

For example, the door-fit row can reference an approved door and mortise drawing; the app row can reference the agreed pairing and user-management workflow. Protection review can reference the required documents and their configuration match. Keep observation, supplier explanation and buyer decision in separate fields.

Ask a suitable installer to check dimensions, handing, mounting preparation, grip clearance, strike alignment and lock-body selection. CB1, CB2 and CB3 list 50–100 mm door thickness, but the panel dimensions still require confirmation. The shared catalogue lock-body options are choices to resolve, not a statement that every option is included.

Evaluate only the access methods and app functions agreed for the sample. Record enrollment, ordinary access, removal of a user and reset according to the supplier's instructions. Where remote unlock or video intercom is required, record the app, network and gateway configuration used. Keep screenshots or short recordings with the sample identifier.

Confirm the supplied 4200 mAh lithium-ion pack specification, charging instructions, low-battery indication and emergency-power arrangement before evaluating the agreed behavior. Record the starting conditions and observations. A short sample evaluation does not establish battery life, an enrollment limit or environmental durability; request separate evidence for any such requirement.

Attach the intended exposure description for both panels and the supplier's response. Request any model-specific protection reports and identify their scope, configuration and installation conditions. Keep absent IP ratings, temperature limits or other required evidence visible as open items. Use qualified evaluation support when a project requires testing beyond ordinary installation and operation.

Record an explicit disposition: approved, approved subject to listed actions, or revision required. Name the buyer, installer and supplier contacts responsible for each action and retain the dated sign-off. Link any replacement sample to the earlier findings. Approve the bulk-order specification only when the agreed conditions are closed or the authorized buyer has documented how remaining limitations will be handled.
