The search for an effective safeguard is often paved with fear-mongering and exploitative prices; we’re here to bust those myths. Lockin provides maximum security through advanced, trusted technology, all for a reasonable price. Let’s dive into the features that really count for smart locks, and why Lockin’s new palm vein technology is revolutionizing the industry.
What to Look for in a Smart Lock
When evaluating any smart lock, the following criteria should guide your decision:
-
Access Method Security: What authentication does it use (PIN, fingerprint, biometric, phone app)? Some methods are more hack-resistant than others. For example, industry tests show that fingerprint-only locks can still be vulnerable without layered authentication. The Verge+1
-
Ease of Use for All Household Members: It’s one thing for a tech-savvy homeowner to manage an app; it’s another for young children or older adults to use the lock reliably every day.
-
Smart Home Integration & Remote Control: Will the lock integrate with your ecosystem (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home)? Compatibility matters. SafeHome.org+1
-
Installation & Durability: A smart lock that’s hard to install or fails frequently will become a headache. Durable hardware and ease of setup are key.
-
Value & Support: Beyond sticker price, consider maintenance, warranty, customer service, and feature updates over time.
Why Lockin
At Lockin, we don’t believe in overcomplicating things. We saw a growing need for safe, reliable, easy-to-use, and actually affordable home security systems—and that’s exactly what we created. Lockin provides real safety and real peace of mind, so that you can live more and worry less.
Lockin is more than a lock: it’s a fully integrated home security system. It combines every feature you need, so that you can control access, lock/unlock your door on command, see high-resolution video footage, get instant motion alerts, and merge it seamlessly with other technology ecosystems.
Advanced Biometrics
Lockin’s advanced biometric security is built on palm-vein scanning—the most secure access method available for residential use. Unlike fingerprints or passcodes, palm-vein patterns exist beneath the skin, making them impossible to see, steal, or duplicate. This internal biometric data eliminates many of the vulnerabilities associated with fingerprint-only locks, which can be compromised without additional layers of authentication. By using palm-vein technology, Lockin delivers superior resistance to spoofing and unauthorized access—setting a new standard for smart home security.
24/7 Visibility
With high-resolution video and instant motion alerts, you can view and manage your home security anytime, anywhere. Prevent unwanted visitors, check that your kids made it home safely, make sure your package is still on the stoop, and keep the entry secure, even while traveling.
Ease of Use
Creating a truly secure system means easy navigation, so that you’ll actually be inclined to use it—no cutting corners, overly “techy” instructions, or complicated set ups. Lockin prioritizes accessibility and ease of use, for children and elder family members alike. Say goodbye to desperately fumbling for keys or forgetting your password; just wave your way in.
Affordability
We offer various models, so that you can keep your home safe regardless of your budget. Additionally, you’ll receive a one year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee.

Choosing Your Lockin Model
Consider the following when deciding on the best Lockin model for your home:
-
If you already have a robust smart home ecosystem and want deep integrations, be sure to check that the Lockin model supports your platform—though many major ecosystems are supported.
-
If the budget is tight and you only need basic remote locking/unlocking, a mid-tier model from a traditional brand may suffice—but you will sacrifice biometric uniqueness.
-
Finally, make sure to evaluate scenarios like guest access, installation height/door type, and battery life before making a decision.
