Solity is a Korean digital lock brand that has built a loyal following in Singapore, particularly among buyers who want the clean, minimalist Korean design language and a reputation for solid engineering without the top-tier price of some rivals. Walk through the digital lock showrooms in Singapore and you will often find Solity positioned as a dependable middle option, with push-pull and rim models that suit both HDB fire doors and condo entrances. For anyone upgrading from a mechanical lock, the brand offers a reassuring blend of looks, features and local support.
As with any front-door lock in Singapore, though, the real questions are practical. Will it fit your specific door, cope with a sun-baked open corridor, and keep working reliably through years of humidity? A digital lock is a security product you touch every single day, so getting the fit and features right matters more than chasing a spec sheet. This guide explains what to look for in a Solity digital lock, which models in the range suit different homes, and the honest trade-offs, so you buy with confidence rather than on the strength of the showroom display alone.
What to look for in Singapore
- Confirm the Solity model matches your door type, as HDB fire doors usually need a mortise or push-pull unit while some condo doors take a rim lock.
- Prefer at least three unlock methods such as fingerprint, PIN and card so no household member is ever locked out.
- Look for a capacitive fingerprint sensor, which reads damp or humid fingers far more reliably than older optical types.
- Check the front panel is weather-resistant, since many Singapore flats have open corridors exposed to wind-driven rain and strong sun.
- Make sure the lock runs on standard AA batteries and gives an early low-battery warning to avoid being stranded outside.
- Confirm there is an emergency external power port so you can jump-start the lock if the batteries die completely.
- Decide whether you need app connectivity, as only certain Solity models support Wi-Fi or a bridge for remote access.
- Buy from an authorised Singapore dealer so you get local warranty and servicing rather than an unsupported grey-market unit.

The picks
Editor’s Choice
Solity Push-Pull Lock
The Solity push-pull is the model that suits the most Singapore homes, pairing a sturdy push-pull handle with quick fingerprint, PIN and card entry and reliable auto-locking. The capacitive sensor copes well with the slightly damp fingers our humidity produces, and the clean Korean styling looks smart on an HDB or condo door. Installation on a standard fire door is straightforward through the local dealers. It sits at a sensible price for what you get, making it the natural default choice for a first digital lock.
Pros
- Solid push-pull handle
- Reliable fingerprint reader
- Clean, understated design
Cons
- No app control on base model
- Mid-range price, not budget
Best Value
Solity Fingerprint Rim Lock
For buyers who want dependable fingerprint entry without paying for extras, the Solity rim lock is a strong value pick. It reads fingerprints quickly, accepts PIN codes, and runs on easily replaced AA batteries that last most of a year. The rim-mount design suits many condo doors and installs cleanly, and there is an emergency power port for peace of mind. It keeps things simple rather than loading on features, which is exactly what a lot of households actually want from their front door.
Pros
- Good price for the features
- Fast fingerprint entry
- Simple, reliable operation
Cons
- No remote or app access
- Check door compatibility first
Best for X
Solity Wi-Fi Enabled Lock
If you want to let a helper or family member in remotely, the Wi-Fi enabled Solity adds app control with temporary PINs and an entry log while keeping fingerprint and keypad unlocking at the door. Getting a phone alert whenever the door opens is genuinely useful for keeping tabs on a busy household. You will want stable corridor Wi-Fi or the bridge for it to work well, and the app is functional rather than fancy, but for remote access it does the job at a fair price.
Pros
- Remote PINs and entry log
- Phone alerts on unlock
- Keeps local unlock methods
Cons
- Needs reliable Wi-Fi
- App is basic
Best for X
Solity Gate Lock
Many Singapore homes have a metal grille gate as well as the main door, and a dedicated Solity gate lock lets you secure it with a fingerprint rather than fumbling for keys. It is built to fit the narrow stile of a typical HDB or landed gate, reads fingerprints quickly and pairs neatly with a matching front-door lock for a consistent look. If you want keyless entry right from the gate, this is the specialist option that plain door locks cannot cover.
Pros
- Designed for metal gates
- Keyless gate entry
- Matches front-door locks
Cons
- Narrow fit needs checking
- Fewer unlock options than door locks
The verdict
The Solity Push-Pull Lock is the best all-round choice for most Singapore homes, with the Fingerprint Rim Lock covering value-focused buyers. Match the model to your door, buy through an authorised local dealer for warranty and servicing, and add a gate lock if you have a grille gate.
Frequently asked questions
Will a Solity digital lock fit my HDB fire-rated door?
Most Solity push-pull and mortise models are made to fit standard HDB fire-rated doors, and an authorised local installer will measure your door thickness and backset before fitting. Buying through an official Singapore dealer ensures you get the correct lock case for your specific door. Fitting a digital lock does not void your fire door rating as long as it is installed properly and the door structure is not compromised.
How long do the batteries last on a Solity lock?
Under normal household use a set of AA batteries typically lasts around eight to twelve months, with heavier-used doors nearer the shorter end. Singapore’s humidity does not drain them dramatically, but frequent unlocking adds up. Every Solity lock gives a low-battery warning well ahead of time, and there is an emergency external power contact so you can power the lock and get in even if the batteries are completely flat.
Can I control a Solity lock from my phone?
Only the Wi-Fi enabled models in the Solity range offer proper app control with remote PINs and an entry log; the standard fingerprint and PIN locks do not connect to a phone. If remote access matters, confirm the specific model supports Wi-Fi or ships with a bridge before buying, since feature sets vary across the line-up. Ask your dealer to point you to the connected models rather than assuming any Solity lock is smart.
Is Solity a reliable brand for Singapore’s climate?
Solity is a well-regarded Korean brand with weather-resistant panels designed to cope with heat and humidity, which suits Singapore’s open corridors and strong sun. As with any digital lock, longevity depends on buying from an authorised dealer, installing it correctly and changing batteries promptly. Owners generally report dependable performance, and having local warranty and servicing means any rare issue can be sorted out here rather than shipped overseas.
Should I get a matching gate lock as well as a door lock?
If your home has a metal grille gate, a matching Solity gate lock lets you unlock both the gate and the door by fingerprint, which is far more convenient than carrying keys for the gate. It also gives a consistent look across your entrance. It is an optional extra rather than a necessity, but many Singapore households find keyless gate entry well worth it, especially when arriving home with full hands.
