Hafele has expanded its smart home portfolio with the Horizon and Nova Digital Door Locks, designed to integrate intelligent access control seamlessly into contemporary residential living. As homes increasingly adopt connected technologies, the two solutions focus on balancing security, ease of use and everyday practicality.

The Hafele Nova Digital Lock offers a compact, functional alternative suited to routine residential use. Powered by standard alkaline batteries, it supports fingerprint access, PINs and RFID cards. Bluetooth connectivity allows short-range control and user management via a mobile app. Safety features include intrusion alerts, door-open notifications and a panic exit function.

Together, Horizon and Nova reflect Hafele’s approach to intelligent home security—delivering dependable, user-friendly access solutions that enhance comfort, control and peace of mind in modern homes.
