REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Level Home Inc., the company redefining the smart home, today announced Level Lock+, the next generation of its world-class line of smart lock products. Available only at Apple, Level Lock+ seamlessly integrates Apple’s home keys technology, allowing owners to securely lock and unlock their homes by simply tapping their iPhone or Apple Watch to their Level Lock+, once their home key has been added to Apple Wallet. Apple Home keys takes full advantage of the privacy and security features built into iPhone and Apple Watch, enabling the Level Lock+ to offer world-class security alongside everyday convenience and beautiful design.
Now with Apple home keys, users can conveniently and safely enter their homes, and experience home keys features on iPhone such as power reserve. With power reserve, if a user’s iPhone needs a charge, they can still use their home key access for up to five hours.
“Our habits are more digitally intertwined than ever. Consumer behavior has evolved to rely on technological enhancements to make secure access more convenient,” says John Martin, Co-Founder and CEO of Level Home. “Level Lock+ could not have come at a more perfect time – this is something iPhone or Apple Watch users can utilize, and we’re seeing that people are ready to integrate smart locks into their daily routines.”
Design and intuitive technology lends to the modern look of Level Lock+, consistent with Level’s renowned invisible design, alongside industry leading NFC capabilities. Hidden in the lock itself, the sleek design of Level Lock+ is in direct contrast to existing, clunky smart locks on the market. The gearbox smoothly locks and unlocks through the toughest external conditions, and is powered by a cleverly hidden CR2 battery within the deadbolt. Level Lock+ is BHMA AAA certified - the highest industry standard for safety and durability - and users can expect the same easy installation as prior generations, which requires only a screwdriver.
