Level has always impressed me with its smart locks that look just like normal home deadbolts, but house compact tech features including card-tapping access, app controls and Apple Home Key support. Its newest Level Lock Pro,available now at Level’s own websites,follows the same design and adds even more features,including more complete Matter support.
Usually, with smart locks, you have to make compromises to get the features you want. A durable lock with lots of battery life might potentially be quite bulky,a compact lock may lack Wi-Fi,the most high-tech locks look the oddest,etc. The Level Lock Pro is impressive because it covers so many bases while still resembling a standard lock with two AA batteries cunningly hidden inside.Features include not just standards like autolocking and the new door status detection,but better Matter support than ever,with compatibility for Apple Home,Google Home (soon to be equipped with Gemini AI),and Amazon Alexa.
“We built Level Lock Pro to be smarter, faster, and more efficient — and still invisible,” said Level CEO John Martin. “It’s the most advanced lock in our lineup and embodies our spirit of design and engineering.”
The Lock Pro still unlocks with Apple Home keys and NFC fobs, but the extra options are welcome. And like previous locks in the series, the Level Lock pro attains a triple-A BHMA rating — AAA in security, durability and finish categories. Smart locks can sometimes struggle to reach high BHMA lock ratings because of all the tech they use, so I love to see a lock with AAA marks across the board, suitable for even business applications.
