Lockly has introduced the Affirm smart lock series at CES, its first line of smart deadbolts and latches with native Matter-over-Thread support, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an integrated doorbell. Available in both deadbolt and latch configurations, the Affirm line is designed for homeowners and rental operators seeking platform-agnostic smart locks that don’t necessarily require a dedicated hub.
The Affirm series can be integrated with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, and Samsung SmartThings. Thread’s low-power design helps extend battery life versus Wi-Fi–only connections. While a Thread border router is needed for full functionality, Affirm smart locks can also connect via their built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi adapters using the Lockly Home app.
For access, users can enter PIN codes on a backlit keypad (featuring Lockly’s unique PIN Genie technology) or unlock via NFC cards or fobs, smartphones, or wearables. Physical keys are also available as a fallback option. The system can store hundreds of codes, suitable for families or short-term rentals.

An integrated doorbell in the lock’s exterior housing allows visitors to announce their presence without additional hardware. When paired with Lockly’s TapCom platform, the NFC tag on the lock can initiate audio or video calls, depending on configuration.
Software features include scheduled auto-locking, offline-accessible codes, and a “welcome mode” for unlocked periods. Real-time updates, activity logs, and remote controls are available via the Lockly app. LocklyOS supports property-wide lock management for multi-unit installations.
Lockly’s Affrim smart lock comes in deadbolt and latch configurations.

The Affirm series is rated IP65 for weather resistance, runs on eight AA batteries (rated for up to 8 months), and includes a USB-C port for backup power. Designed for DIY installation, it fits most standard doors and backsets.
Both versions of Affirm will launch in matte black, with pricing starting at $179.99 and availability expected in late Q2 2026.
If you’re attending CES in person, Lockly is exhibiting its wares at Venetian Suite 29-318, where it is also showing its new Smart Safe XL, OwlGuard IPC100 home security camera, and TapCon access-control system for short-term rentals.
