(G5 Gateway) Mechanical Key

The FORGE Australian Oval Cylinder Smart Lock (FECYLDSA matt silver / FECYLDBA matt black) replaces the outside oval cylinder of a compatible Australian mortice lockset with a smart knob - fingerprint, PIN code, MIFARE M1 card, the TTLock app and a mechanical key. The existing mortice lock and door furniture stay where they are.

Fit is decided by two measurements: a cylinder length of 31.5-39 mm (with the cylinder extender for anything over 31.5 mm) and a backset of at least 25 mm. The knob's physical buttons carry the digits 1-6, so passcodes use only those digits. It talks Bluetooth to the TTLock app, with FORGE's optional G5 gateway for remote unlock, and runs on 2 x CR123A batteries for about 6-10 months. The outside knob is rated IP55, so it suits a sheltered door.

FORGE notes that this cylinder does not come with an internal turn snib - inside, your lockset keeps its own turn or lever. For a European-profile lock, see the FORGE European Cylinder Smart Lock. Made in China for FORGE, an Australian brand based in Ringwood, Victoria, with FORGE's 2-year warranty.

Access Methods

Access Method	Available	Details
Fingerprint	Yes - up to 200	The reader is in the face of the outside knob. Fingerprints can be permanent, time-limited or recurring, and a Forced Fingerprint sends the administrator an alarm notification.
PIN Code	Yes - up to 150	Physical buttons around the knob carry the digits 1-6 plus * and #, so every passcode uses only 1-6; codes are 4-9 digits (manual page 14). Permanent, time-limited, one-time and recurring codes - TTLock passcode types.
RFID Card	Yes - up to 200	MIFARE M1 cards are read at the knob. Extra FORGE MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.
TTLock App	Yes - Bluetooth	Unlock from the TTLock app within about 5-10 metres, and share eKeys with other TTLock users.
Remote Unlock	With the G5 gateway	Add the FORGE TTLock G5 gateway for remote unlock and management. FORGE also names its DB2 video doorbell, which has a gateway built in.
Mechanical Key	Yes	The cylinder keeps a mechanical key - the backup if the batteries go flat.

Inside, the door is opened with your existing lockset's turn or lever - the smart cylinder replaces the outside cylinder only.

TTLock App

Set the lock up in the free TTLock app, available for iOS and Android . Choose Australia as your location when you sign up, give the app full permissions and turn Bluetooth on. Until the first administrator is added the lock is in its factory state - the default admin code is 123456 and any fingerprint will open it - so pair it as soon as it is fitted. FORGE's TTLock pairing guide shows the steps; keep your phone within 2 metres while pairing. The introduction pages of the manual cover the same ground for this model.

TTLock is one of the two global smart lock platforms - how it compares with Tuya is set out in our TTLock vs Tuya comparison, and the wider TTLock range in Chapter 14 - the TTLock hardware ecosystem. The app itself is covered in the TTLock app user manual.

Bluetooth at the door, remote with a gateway
Without a gateway the AU Oval Cylinder is managed over Bluetooth when your phone is within about 5-10 metres - see what a TTLock lock can do without Wi-Fi. FORGE offers the FORGE TTLock G5 gateway as the add-on for remote Wi-Fi management and unlocking: with it plugged in within range you can unlock on demand from anywhere, change codes, check records and set a passage-mode schedule remotely - Bluetooth vs gateway in Chapter 14. Remote Unlock has to be switched on in the app and Power Saving Mode turned off (manual page 18).

What's in the Box

Contents from FORGE's parts drawing and manual - FORGE's page has no In the Box list for this model. FORGE's drawing marks the 2 x CR123A batteries as not included. The TTLock G5 gateway, the TTLock remote and extra MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.

Suitable Uses

• Timber and aluminium doors with a compatible Australian oval-cylinder mortice lockset - an existing-hardware upgrade without replacing the lock.
• Front, side and back doors sheltered from direct rain - under an eave, porch or awning.
• Homes and rentals that want fingerprint, code and card entry with a key backup (TTLock for short stays with a gateway).
• Offices and shared premises where staff codes and cards are managed in TTLock (audit trails).

Not suitable for

• A required cylinder length over 39 mm - FORGE rates it not suitable.
• A backset under 25 mm.
• Inward-opening doors where the knob would hit the jamb as the door closes - check before ordering.
• European-profile, round or rim cylinders - this is the Australian oval profile.
• Doors exposed to driving rain - the outside knob is IP55.

Will It Fit? Cylinder Length and Backset

This cylinder replaces an existing Australian oval cylinder, so the fit comes down to the cylinder length and the backset - not a door-thickness range. FORGE's measurement guide (PDF) and manual page 5 set out the check.

Measure before you order

• Cylinder length - with or without a handle, measure from the centre of the cylinder screw hole in the lock's faceplate to the outside surface of the cylinder cover plate. Include any outside cover plate.
• Backset - FORGE's minimum is 25 mm, measured from the door edge to the centre of the cylinder.
• Jamb clearance - on an inward-opening door with a door jamb, check the 40 mm knob will clear the jamb as the door closes.
• Inside - this cylinder comes with no internal turn snib; your lockset's own inside turn or lever stays.
• Not sure? Send us a photo of the faceplate and the cylinder with a tape measure in shot and we will check it with you.

Measuring tips for faceplates and cylinders are in examples of helpful photos.

Available Finish Options

This product is in bold. Both cylinders read fingerprints (up to 200), PIN codes on physical buttons 1-6 (up to 150) and MIFARE M1 cards (up to 200), run on TTLock over Bluetooth with the optional G5 gateway for remote access, take 2 x CR123A batteries and carry IP55 on the outside knob. Both need a 25 mm minimum backset.

Accessories and Spares

Image	Accessory	Item Code	Use With This Lock
	FORGE TTLock Bluetooth to Wi-Fi Gateway (G5)	TTGTWG5	Adds remote unlock, remote code management and entry records over your home Wi-Fi (2.4 or 5 GHz router). FORGE offers it as an add-on with the AU Oval Cylinder.
	FORGE TTLock Bluetooth Remote Control	FEGLTTLKRMTA	A hand-held Bluetooth remote for unlocking at close range - FORGE offers it as an add-on with the AU Oval Cylinder.
	FORGE MIFARE 1K RFID Card	FECARDGSLKA	Extra MIFARE 1K cards - the cylinder stores up to 200.

FORGE also names its DB2 video doorbell, which has a TTLock gateway built in, as a remote route for this lock - ask us if you want one. Other gateways are in the modules and Wi-Fi gateways category, and more cards and fobs in the RFID credentials range.

Battery and Emergency Power

Power, warnings and backup
The cylinder runs on 2 x CR123A lithium batteries behind the cover on the outside knob, rated by FORGE at about 6-10 months depending on use. FORGE's parts drawing marks the batteries as not included, so buy a pair with the lock. To change them, undo the battery cover screw, turn the cap anticlockwise, lift the cover and fit the cells the right way round (manual page 8). The lock warns you when it has roughly 50 to 100 unlocks left - replace both cells then. There is no USB emergency port on this cylinder: the mechanical key is the backup if the batteries go flat, so keep a key somewhere away from the door (key storage ideas). More on what really affects battery life and power and battery FAQs.

Weather Rating - IP55 Outside Knob

IP55 outside knob
FORGE rates the outside smart-cylinder assembly IP55 against dust and low-pressure water jets when correctly installed, with a working range of -10 to 55 degrees C and 0-95% humidity. It suits a door that is sheltered from direct rain - under an eave, porch or awning. It is not designed for driving rain, salt spray, flooding or immersion; FORGE recommends a rain hood where the door is exposed, and water damage beyond the rating is not covered by the warranty (non-warranty disclaimer). IP55 is a lower rating than FORGE's outdoor gate locks - see IP ratings explained and, on the coast, coastal environments.

FORGE AU Oval Cylinder - Technical Specifications

Dimensions

FORGE's drawing of the cylinder: the default configuration is 100 mm overall (36.5 mm cylinder, screw hole 31.5 mm from the knob face) and the extended configuration with the cylinder extender is 107 mm (44 mm cylinder, screw hole at 39 mm). The knob is 57 mm long and 40 mm across; the oval profile is 31.5 x 18 mm (manual page 3).

Before ordering, measure the cylinder length on your door as shown in FORGE's measurement guide (PDF) - see Will It Fit? above. The guide is also in the Dimensions tab.

Platform and Data

Platform. The AU Oval Cylinder runs on TTLock - Bluetooth to your phone, with the TTLock G5 gateway for remote access. Remote unlock and management need the gateway; at the door the lock works without the internet.

Where your data goes. TTLock is run by Sciener, a Chinese company. Accounts outside China use TTLock's out-of-China servers; where that infrastructure is hosted, and which region Australian accounts use, is not published - in short, a Chinese company's servers, location unpublished. For the platform-by-platform picture see where each smart lock platform hosts its data, and for TTLock's security record see Chapter 14 - TTLock security.

Installation

Fitting is a cylinder swap: the existing oval cylinder comes out on its cylinder screw and the smart cylinder goes in its place. The installation section of the manual runs through each step with drawings.

Installation Tips

• Measure the cylinder length first and fit the extender if you need 31.5-39 mm - undo the tailpiece screw, add the extender and refit (manual page 6).
• Remove the existing cylinder by undoing the cylinder screw in the faceplate (manual page 7).
• Fit the 2 x CR123A batteries before installing - battery cover screw out, cap anticlockwise, cover off, cells in the right way round (manual page 8).
• Slide the cylinder through, line its screw hole up with the faceplate and refit the cylinder screw (manual page 9).
• Check it: the outside knob should turn freely while locked, and 123456# should engage the knob so it turns the lock (manual page 11). Keep the keys outside the premises while you test.
• Unsure about the length or backset? Terry's offers installation across the Gold Coast.

Which way a door is handed is explained in how to tell which way your door or gate opens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my lock?
If your lockset takes an Australian oval cylinder, the required cylinder length is 39 mm or less, and the backset is at least 25 mm - see Will It Fit? above and FORGE's measurement guide.

Why can I only use digits 1-6?
The knob has six number buttons plus * and #, so passcodes can only use 1-6. Codes are 4-9 digits long.

Does it include an inside turn snib?
No - FORGE notes it comes without one. Inside, the door is worked by your existing lockset's turn or lever.

Can I unlock it remotely?
Yes, with the optional FORGE TTLock G5 gateway. Without it, the app works over Bluetooth within about 5-10 metres.

What batteries does it take?
2 x CR123A lithium cells, for about 6-10 months. FORGE's parts drawing marks them as not included. The mechanical key is the backup if they go flat.

Additional Information

• Measure the cylinder length before ordering. Under 31.5 mm uses the default configuration, 31.5-39 mm needs the extender and anything longer will not fit.
• Register an administrator straight away. Until the first administrator is added in the app, the lock is in its factory state with the default code 123456.
• Buy batteries with it. It runs on 2 x CR123A cells, which FORGE's parts drawing shows as not included.
• Shelter matters. The outside knob is IP55 - fine under an eave or porch, not for a door that takes driving rain.
• Keep the mechanical keys away from the door - there is no USB emergency port, so the key is the backup (key storage ideas).
