Door fit
The Lumive Guardian G1 is a 4585 mortise lock for 35-55 mm doors. No confirmed backset-by-centres breakdown or complete cut-out template is published. In Lumive’s Saudi installation experience, most apartment and villa doors already have a 4585-size pocket, so Guardian G1 usually replaces the existing lock without re-cutting. This is not a fit guarantee.
Philips EasyKey 608 (DDL608) is a lever lock with a 43 mm slim body for narrow aluminum, sliding, and push-pull door frames. Its page states 35-120 mm thickness, but the default kit covers 35-60 mm; consult the local distributor for another thickness. The manual’s diagram is labelled 3585, without an English backset-by-centres breakdown. Compare the 43 mm body and published thickness requirements with your measurements, then confirm the required hardware with the manufacturer.
Before ordering, use this measure-first sequence:
- Measure the full door thickness at the lock position.
- Measure the pocket’s height, depth, backset, centre distances, and faceplate opening.
- Record the door material and whether it slides or uses push-pull operation.
- Record the opening direction and photograph both faces, edge, strike, and accessible lock body.
- Compare the results with published requirements and confirm the installation kit.
Send measurements and clear photos to Lumive before ordering Guardian G1. Review the smart door lock range, but do not assume thickness alone confirms fit.

FAQ
Will Guardian G1 fit my existing door?
Guardian G1 supports 35-55 mm doors and uses a 4585 body. In Lumive’s Saudi installation experience, most apartment and villa doors already have that pocket, so replacement usually avoids re-cutting. Exact cut-out dimensions are unpublished. Measure thickness, pocket, backset, centres, material, and opening direction, then send measurements and photos to Lumive before ordering.
What door thickness does Philips EasyKey 608 (DDL608) support?
The official page publishes 35-120 mm. The default kit, however, covers 35-60 mm; another thickness requires consulting the local distributor for a suitable kit. Thickness does not confirm the pocket match, so compare the 43 mm body and published thickness requirements with your measurements, then confirm the required hardware before ordering.
Which lock offers more documented access methods?
Guardian G1 documents fingerprint, anti-peeping passcode, RFID card, app remote unlocking, and a mechanical key, with 5 IC cards included. Philips EasyKey 608 (DDL608) documents fingerprint, PIN, key tag, and mechanical key, while its Tuya Smart App provides remote control. Choose according to the credentials your household will issue and manage.
Do both locks work with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?
Both have documented Wi-Fi functions. Guardian G1 uses Wi-Fi with the Lumive app; confirm any additional wireless support with Lumive before ordering. Philips EasyKey 608 (DDL608) uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with the Tuya Smart App, while 5 GHz is unsupported and Bluetooth is unstated. Check the manufacturer’s page if Bluetooth is essential.
What happens when the batteries are depleted?
Guardian G1 uses 4 included AAA batteries, an emergency power port, and a mechanical-key fallback. Philips EasyKey 608 (DDL608) uses 4 AAA alkaline batteries; its Type-C port accepts an external 5V power bank to power the lock from outside. Keep the applicable backup accessible and follow the selected product’s instructions.
What warranty, return, and delivery terms apply to Guardian G1?
Lumive states a 2-year warranty, a 14-day return, and delivery within 1-3 business days for Guardian G1. Verify these terms before purchase, and verify physical fit as well: service terms do not replace measuring the door and obtaining confirmation from Lumive based on clear photos and measurements.
