I would like a smart lock for my garage door, but it is very thick. I had purchased a bio-metric lock, and it couldn't be installed due to the thickness of the door.How thick can the door be and still be able to install the lock? null

Any thickness. It utilizes the existing deadbolt hardware for the exterior of the door. You just replace the inside piece with a metal plate and then the lock slips on and lock it place with arms that you push down.

You will use the same lock that you already have on the door. The only thing that changes is the interior locking mechanism that turns. 

It really is a good product.

As long as you can find a single cylinder deadbolt with screws long engulfed to cover the distance, this will work. It uses pre-existing hardware and only the inside turn knob is being replaced. This also means original keys can still be used

I’m not 100% sure, but it basically just replaces the thumb latch on your lock and uses your existing deadbolt, so I wouldn’t think door thickness would matter.
