SwitchBot, known for its retrofitting smart home solutions, has just announced the release of the SwitchBot Lock Pro.
This retrofit smart lock is designed to bring convenience and security to your doorstep, all while being easy to install and operate.

Engineered for seamless compatibility with a variety of local market locks, the SwitchBot Lock Pro is a versatile solution for upgrading traditional door locks across different regions without the hassle of drilling or modifications. It ensures that the original key functionality remains intact, offering a broad compatibility range including Euro Profiles, Knob Cylinders, and more, with additional support for UK Oval Cylinders and Swiss Round Cylinders expected by late April. The Lock Pro also offers the possibility of supporting other lock types through 3D printing after-sales services.
The Lock Pro sets a new standard for access convenience, featuring fingerprint recognition technology with a rapid 0.3-second recognition time and up to 98% accuracy. Alongside storing up to 100 fingerprints, it provides 15 unique unlocking options to suit every need, from one-time passcodes to voice commands and even unlocking via an Apple Watch.
A standout feature is the Quick Key, a redesigned element that allows for effortless unlocking with a single click and the option to pause automatic locking with a two-second hold.
Battery concerns are a thing of the past with the SwitchBot Lock Pro. It operates on 4 x AA batteries, extending its life up to nine months and surpassing competitors by 1.5 times. The optional Dual Power Pack further enhances convenience, offering up to 12 months of power with a smart relay system for continuous operation.
