ᐅ Looking for a motorized lock or electric door opener for an automatic door

Hello,

we are planning to build a semi-detached house (construction has not started yet, only the planning phase) with a developer.

We have already chosen the front door: it is a Rodenberg aluminum door with a plastic core and a triple automatic locking system (changes might still be possible).

The automatic locking system has two bolts (top and bottom) that lock automatically and mechanically and can always be opened from the inside.
The third bolt (in the middle) can only be locked with a key, and once locked, the door cannot be opened from the inside.

We are now considering having a front door with a fingerprint scanner to increase convenience, plus a video doorbell.

I have tried to research the topic and would appreciate your help.

The fingerprint scanner should be from Ekey (as far as I understand, everyone highly recommends Ekey).
We want the fingerprint scanner externally on the video doorbell, not integrated into the door itself.

My first question is: what kind of lock do we need?

Does it have to be a (probably expensive) motorized lock, or would an electric strike for an automatic locking system be sufficient (where the mechanically locked bolts are pushed back electrically)?

Ideally, we would then be able to open the door by fingerprint and also unlock the door via an app linked to the video doorbell (we would select a compatible doorbell and lock), possibly even remotely while away.

I hope you can help me with advice regarding the door lock.

Thank you for your help

The BlueMotion is the actual motorized lock from Winkhaus

We only have the BlueMatic (automatic lock with A-opener)

If it is not a problem with the BlueMotion, then it shouldn’t be a problem with the BlueMatic either

It shouldn’t be much different, right?

I haven’t found any instructions online or from Winkhaus on how to change the cylinder in the BlueMatic lock
