KeySmart has announced the launch of its SmartLock, a digital lock scheduled for release in 2025. The product is designed for people who want to combine physical security with digital tracking. The SmartLock is TSA-approved and includes Apple Find My tracking. The company says this product is aimed at travelers, tech-focused households, and anyone interested in adding another layer of protection to their belongings. The SmartLock is built to be used for luggage, equipment cases, and other valuables.
The SmartLock stands out because it merges a physical locking mechanism with the ability to track the lock and its attached item through Apple’s Find My app. After pairing with an Apple device, users can see the lock’s location on a map, get alerts if they leave it behind, and activate Lost Mode, which can show contact information to anyone who finds the item. There’s also an option to play a sound through the lock to help locate items in busy places. The device lets users share tracking access with up to five people. The battery lasts about four months and can be replaced with a standard coin cell battery. Even if the battery dies, the three-digit combination lock keeps working since the physical lock is not dependent on the digital features.
The SmartLock’s design is made to be strong and can handle daily use or travel. The lock uses an alloy construction and a cable system, so it works with many types of bags and cases. It also keeps a low profile, so it does not draw attention to its tracking ability. This might make it harder for someone to notice that the item can be tracked if it is stolen or misplaced. The setup process is simple. Setting a combination and pairing the SmartLock with the Find My app takes less than a minute. All that’s needed is an Apple device like an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.
The smart lock market is growing quickly. Reports show that by 2032, the global market for smart locks could reach almost $12 billion. People are moving away from traditional locks to digital options that use features like remote access, audit trails, and integration with other smart home devices. The KeySmart SmartLock fits into this trend, especially for people who already use the Apple ecosystem. For security, the device uses encryption and secure protocols to help keep data private and prevent hacking. The lock’s features are only available through Apple devices, so users with Android phones will not be able to use the tracking part.
KeySmart’s SmartLock comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty. According to the company, over 7,000 customers have already used the product. The SmartLock is marketed for people who travel often, professionals who carry valuable equipment, and families who want a simple way to keep track of important items. By combining a traditional lock with digital tracking, the SmartLock is meant to help people keep their things safe and make it easier to find them if they go missing. The company claims that reducing the worry about lost valuables can help people feel less stressed, sleep better, and stay more organized. The product will be available to buy in 2025.
