Xiaomi launches its new smart lock It installs without construction work and respects your original door.
Xiaomi is strengthening its presence in the smart home market with the launch of a new smart lock. Designed to provide greater control over home access without the need for complex and disruptive construction work, this product, called the Self-Install Smart Lock , is currently available in several European countries and is compatible with the Matter platform, meaning it can be used with multiple platforms.
This lock doesn't replace the cylinder or key on the door; instead, it uses a different approach: it's installed only on the inside and monitors the movement of the key or doorknob. This allows for continued traditional access from the outside while adding smart features without the need to change the original lock.
According to Notebookcheck , the lock features several ways to access it.
- Includes a fingerprint reader
- Passwords can be used: static or temporary
- Works via Bluetooth
- Supports voice control
- Everything is managed through the Xiaomi Home app (you can remotely check the lock status, and receive alerts when a family member arrives at home or if the lock is tampered with).
In terms of security, the device includes several essential features such as automatic locking and tamper alerts. While details regarding battery life and certifications are still unknown, it is a simple option that is gradually becoming available in the market.
The aforementioned source previously listed a price between €145 and €189 at retailers such as Galaxus . It was also found at the Italian store Tribudo for €121, with deliveries scheduled to begin in mid- to late February 2026.
