Nice Smart provides end-to-end OEM and ODM smart lock manufacturing for brands, distributors, and project developers worldwide. From custom hardware design and firmware development to private label packaging and international certification support, our Shenzhen facility handles every stage of production. Whether you need 20 units for market testing or 10,000+ units for a project rollout, our engineering team delivers production-ready smart locks configured to your specifications.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) means Nice Smart produces smart locks using our existing hardware designs, customized with your brand logo, packaging, user interface, and firmware settings. This is the fastest and most cost-effective route to market for distributors and brands entering the smart lock industry. ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) means Nice Smart designs and engineers a new smart lock from concept to production based on your specifications. This includes industrial design, PCB layout, mold development, firmware programming, and certification — delivering a unique product that doesn’t exist in our standard catalog.

Nice Smart offers six layers of OEM customization on our existing product line. Each layer can be applied independently or combined for a fully branded product ready for your target market.
Laser engraving or pad printing of your company logo, brand name, and model numbers directly onto the lock body, interior panel, or packaging materials.
Custom retail or industrial packaging with your brand identity, product photography, multilingual user manuals, and warranty cards. Design support included.
UI language localization, voice prompt customization, Tuya or TTLock platform binding, and app skin configuration to match your brand aesthetic.
Available finishes include matte black, satin nickel, gold, silver, and bronze across zinc alloy and stainless steel housings. PVD and electroplating processes used.
Mortise body and spindle adjustments for European DIN, American ANSI, or regional door thickness standards (35mm–120mm). Handed and universal configurations available.
Existing CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications transfer with OEM orders. We assist with additional certification applications (UL, BHMA, EN) and provide test reports for customs clearance.
For brands and technology companies that need a unique product, Nice Smart’s 6-person R&D team handles the complete ODM development cycle. Our engineers specialize in the integration of biometric sensors, electronic mortise mechanisms, and IoT connectivity modules.
Define hardware specifications, access methods, connectivity requirements, and target certifications. Our engineering team provides a feasibility assessment and cost estimate within 72 hours.
3D CAD modeling, material selection (zinc alloy, stainless steel, aluminum), ergonomic handle design, and rapid prototyping for physical evaluation before tooling investment.
Circuit board design for your specific wireless protocol requirements (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Zigbee, Sub-1G, Thread). Firmware development includes locking logic, power management, sensor calibration, and SDK/API documentation.
CNC mold fabrication for lock housing and internal components. Pilot production of 50–100 units for field testing, certification submission, and quality validation.
Coordination with accredited testing labs for CE, FCC, RoHS, and market-specific certifications. Full test reports provided for import compliance documentation.
Full-scale production with incoming material inspection, in-line process checks, and final QC including 200,000-cycle handle testing, waterproof testing, and battery drain analysis. Production capacity: 8,000+ units per month.
Send us your project requirements — target market, lock type, volume estimate, branding needs, and timeline. Our engineering team will respond with a detailed proposal within 24 hours.
Nice Smart locks support dual-platform integration with Tuya IoT and TTLock – the two most widely adopted smart lock management platforms in the global B2B market. This enables your end customers to manage access remotely via smartphone apps, generate temporary passcodes, monitor entry logs, and integrate with property management systems (PMS).
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-based connectivity. Supports Tuya Smart app and custom-branded app via Tuya OEM app service. Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT. Suitable for residential, Airbnb, and serviced apartment deployments.
Bluetooth and gateway-based access management. Supports remote passcode generation, time-limited access, and multi-property management. Widely adopted by hotels, co-working spaces, and property management companies for centralized access control.
Minimum order quantities vary by customization level. Standard OEM orders with logo engraving start from 20–50 units. Full custom packaging and firmware orders typically require 100–300 units. ODM projects with new mold development require 300–500 units minimum.
Standard OEM orders with existing models ship within 7–15 business days. Orders requiring custom packaging or firmware take 15–25 days. ODM projects with new mold development require 8–12 weeks including prototyping, testing, and pilot production.
Yes. We provide sample units from our existing product line within 3–5 business days. For ODM projects, 3D-printed prototypes can be produced for initial evaluation before committing to mold investment.
For logo engraving, provide vector files (AI, EPS, or SVG) at minimum 300 DPI resolution. For packaging, supply print-ready PDF or AI files with bleed marks. If you don’t have design resources, our team can assist with packaging layout based on your brand guidelines.
CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications apply to the hardware platform and are valid for OEM orders using the same base hardware. If your OEM order modifies the electronic design or adds new wireless modules, new certification testing may be required. We coordinate the process with accredited labs.
Standard terms are 30% deposit upon order confirmation and 70% balance before shipment (T/T wire transfer). For established B2B partners with order history, flexible payment terms including 30-day net terms may be arranged.
