A door for an entryway includes an exterior-facing surface, an inner structure, and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism is connected to the inner structure and configured to be fastened or released for controlling access to the entryway. The door also includes a key-cylinder accessible from the exterior-facing surface and configured to selectively lock and unlock the latch mechanism. The door additionally includes a pawl configured to be rotated by the key-cylinder about a pivot axis, connected to the latch mechanism, and defining a pass-through aperture distal from the pivot axis. The door also includes a shield defining a shield attachment aperture and connected to the inner structure. The door further includes a security fastener to fix the shield relative to the key-cylinder at the shield attachment aperture and extending through the pass-through aperture without impeding the pawl's rotation or contacting the pawl as the pawl operates the latch mechanism.

Vehicle door unlocking control methods, apparatuses, and systems for vehicles. The vehicle door unlocking control method can be carried out by the apparatuses and systems and includes: obtaining an acquisition trigger signal; controlling, based on the acquisition trigger signal, a first camera assembly disposed on a vehicle to acquire a first face image of a user; performing feature matching between the first face image and a pre-stored second face image; performing living body detection on the first face image; and sending a vehicle door unlocking instruction to at least one vehicle door lock of the vehicle in response to successful feature matching and successful living body detection. This door unlocking solution may be used to provide face-based vehicle door opening in a safe, convenient and reliable manner.
