Screwless Smart Lock Design Using Double-Sided Tape

[peterrakolcza]

Enhancement Description

It would be beneficial to introduce a new version of the smart lock that does not require screws for installation and is instead held in place by strong double-sided tape. This design would provide a more user-friendly installation process, especially for those who are renting or prefer not to drill holes into their doors.

Rationale

The current smart lock design requires screws for installation, which can be cumbersome and may deter some users, particularly those in rental properties where modifications to doors are not allowed. A version that uses double-sided tape instead would offer the following benefits:

• Easy Installation: No tools or drilling required, making it accessible for users with limited DIY experience.
• Universal: The current design of the lock fits a limited number of locks or requires small adjustments which could be dealbreaker. Introducing a screwless version would be more universal.

Proposed Implementation

1. Design Modification: Modify the lock's outer shell to include areas suitable for the application of industrial-strength double-sided tape.
2. Testing: Ensure that the adhesive used is strong enough to hold the lock securely over long periods and through regular use.
3. Instructions: Provide clear installation instructions and warnings about surface preparation to ensure the tape adheres properly.
