About
Level Lock is a premium smart lock brand engineered to blend seamlessly into your home without changing its look or existing hardware. Unlike bulky smart locks that replace the entire deadbolt assembly, Level's patented technology fits entirely inside the door, making it truly invisible from the outside. The lineup includes three products: the Level Lock Pro ($349) featuring Apple Home Keys and door status detection, the Level Lock ($249) as the smallest smart lock ever made, and the Level Bolt ($199) which retrofits your existing lock while retaining your matched keys and design. Level locks are BHMA AAA-rated — the highest security standard in the industry — and tested to 500,000 operations (equivalent to 135 years of typical use). The precision-engineered motor drivetrain is the smallest ever used in a smart lock, operating quietly and reliably. Battery life lasts up to one year. Users can manage access through the Level app, granting digital keys to guests, setting event-based access passes, monitoring entry activity logs, and integrating with Apple Home. Level is ideal for homeowners, renters, and property managers who want smart home convenience without sacrificing design, security, or their existing key system.
