The smart lock market is exploding
Smart door security is no longer a fringe gadget. UK demand for connected locks is rising fast, with analysts forecasting compound annual growth of more than 16% from 2025 through 2030. That surge is fuelled by a boom in home-automation, remote working, and insurers rewarding better door security.
What built-in Wi-Fi changes
First-generation smart locks relied on hubs or Bluetooth. Both add friction. Built-in Wi-Fi removes the extra hardware and gives you:
- Anytime, anywhere control – lock, unlock, and check status from the sofa or the beach
- Real-time alerts – know instantly if the door is left unlocked or forced open
- Seamless voice integration – straight into Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home without a bridge
- Hassle-free updates – firmware patches arrive over the air, keeping security current
In short, Wi-Fi makes the lock truly smart rather than simply key-free.
2025 trend watch
Manufacturers are racing to add speed, convenience, and touch-free access. At the latest tech expos earlier this year several brands showcased precise proximity tech that unlocks automatically when your phone is right at the door and palm-scan entry, proving that frictionless control is the future. The common thread is instant remote connectivity, which only Wi-Fi delivers today without extra boxes or monthly fees.
