I want to get a lock to be open by bluetooth.
How secure is the bluetooth.
Do I need a app for it. Does the app work via china?
Where to buy a secure one. It will be use at a office, plenty people will need to open a few doors from their phone.
 
No, just no..

Nobody is going to stand around, spend 30 seconds trying to connect to a Bluetooth lock just to unlock it and then do that for a few doors...
 
You can probably grab a dev board and a standard magnetic lock and find a script to make it all work. But bluetooth locks is normally slow. NFC tags might be better they are cheap easy to copy and works a lot better. But they are cheap easy to copy so security might be a problem.

Thumb print locks work just keep it clean and scratch free. Other good one I haven't played with it yet is the Facial Recognition lock.
