The home security industry made impressive strides at CES 2025, particularly in the field of smart locks, which have evolved from locking and unlocking devices into multifunctional tools designed to make your life safer and more convenient. Some of the latest smart locks now come equipped with onboard video doorbells. Another standout trend is the rise of touchless controls, which includes advanced features like palm vein recognition and ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. These innovations promise a seamless and highly secure entry experience, perfect for busy households or those looking to enhance their home’s smart ecosystem. If you’re intrigued by these futuristic options, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of touchless smart locks you’ll soon find on the market.
ULTRALOQ Bolt Mission UWB + NFC Smart Deadbolt
U-tec was the first company to introduce a smart lock with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology in 2024. This UWB-enabled smart lock provides hands-free access, authorized through the user’s device. It detects the distance and direction of approach and unlocks the door automatically. Making a comeback at CES 2025, the Bolt Mission smart lock also comes with NFC for quick tap-to-unlock functionality and automatic locking as well as Matter support for seamless connectivity. Priced at $399, it comes with an extended battery that can last for up to one year.
Schlage Sense Pro Smart Deadbolt
Following the trend, Schlage has also launched its first door lock that utilizes ultra-wideband technology (UWB) for hands-free unlocking at CES 2025. The Sense Pro uses a paired and authorized personal device to intelligently enable entry by calculating the speed, trajectory, and motion of the person coming to the door. With Matter-over-Thread support, it can be integrated with a wide range of smart home ecosystems like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Samsung SmartThings.
Lockly Secure Pro UWB Edition
This is another smart lock with UWB technology you will be able to purchase in the fourth quarter of this year. Lockly is initially adding the hands-free unlocking feature to selected UWB-enabled Android phones from Google and Samsung. The lock runs on a rechargeable 10,000mAh battery offering up to eight months of battery life, supports Apple Home Key, and includes a fingerprint reader, a touchscreen keypad, and a physical key.
