Lockin X9 vs S6 Max vs V5 Max: Which Smart Lock Suits Your Adelaide Home?

Smart Lock Buying Guide

Compare access features, installed prices and door requirements before choosing your smart lock.

Three Different Levels of Smart Lock

The Lockin X9, S6 Max and V5 Max are not simply three versions of the same lock. They suit different budgets, access preferences and front-door setups.

All three prices below are ADE Smart Home supplied-and-installed packages for standard Adelaide installation after a door compatibility check. Non-standard door repairs, extra parts or unusual preparation are explained and quoted before booking.

Lockin X9: Practical Keyless Entry at A$699 Installed

The X9 is the straightforward choice when you want fingerprint and PIN access without a front-door camera or large indoor screen. Its access options include fingerprint, passcode, mobile app, NFC card, Bluetooth key and physical backup key.

It suits households that value simple everyday entry, rental access or a lower installed package price. The narrower feature set can also make it a more practical choice when a large camera lock is unnecessary.

Choose the X9 when:

  • fingerprint and PIN entry are the main priorities
  • you do not need a built-in camera or indoor display
  • you want the lowest-priced option of these three models

Lockin S6 Max: Camera and Indoor Display at A$1,199 Installed

The S6 Max adds 3D face recognition, finger-vein access, a dual-camera system, remote video calling and a 4.7-inch indoor display. It is designed for households that want to see and respond to visitors as well as unlock without a key.

Its larger body needs careful checking around the existing lock, door edge, frame, nearby glass and any external screen door. ADE confirms these details from photos before the booking.

Choose the S6 Max when:

  • face and finger-vein access are useful to your household
  • you want a camera view and an indoor screen
  • remote video calling matters more than Apple HomeKit

Lockin V5 Max: Palm Vein and Apple HomeKit at A$1,350 Installed

The V5 Max is the flagship option in this comparison. It combines palm-vein recognition, 3D Face ID, fingerprint, PIN, NFC, app and backup-key access with a 2K video doorbell, 170-degree view and Apple HomeKit support.

This model suits Apple households and owners who want the broadest mix of contactless access and front-door video features in the current ADE Lockin range.

The Door Still Decides

Features and price are only part of the decision. Door thickness, mortise space, existing holes, frame alignment, glass position and screen-door clearance can change which model is practical. An apartment entry may also require approval or special checks before any modification.
