Lockly has introduced a series of smart locks that have native Matter compatibility, meaning that they will be able to be used across different smart home systems. The Affirm Series of smart locks will come in both deadbolt and latch editions. What’s more, the locks will support several ways to allow access, including not only the usual numeric keypad, but NFC access, so they can be used with physical and digital NFC key cards.
The ability to access NFC means that you can either use a physical card to unlock a door, or import a key card into your digital wallet and use your phone instead, offering an alternative to the keypad. Other features include built-in Wi-Fi, so that you will not need a separate hub.
The Lockly Affirm series of smartlocks will go on sale late in the second quarter of 2026 and will be priced at $179.99.
Other products being introduced at the same time include the Lockly TapCom platform, which has been designed to help with short-term rentals via a video intercom and NFC tap interaction, among other features, and which is now available for $24.99, along with subscriptions for additional options. There is also the Lockly OwlGuard Security Camera, a smart home camera with offline monitoring, 2K wide-angle resolution, and AI detection of people, pets, and vehicles; and the Lockly Smart Safe XL, which includes AI-enhanced biometric access and the ability to switch between using a keypad, a fingerprint, or a smartphone app.
The security camera will be sold for $99 in the second quarter of this year, while the safe will be first available outside the US in the second quarter of 2026 and introduced in the US sometimes in the third quarter. It will be priced at $339.99.
