Magnum Digital Lock System: Installation Guide & Performance Review

 

Five years ago, a digital lock on a residential door was a technology statement. Today it is an expectation. Buyers in projects by Lodha, Kalpataru, and Godrej expect keyless entry as standard. For architects, this creates a specification requirement that sits at the intersection of security and design.
