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 Horizon Digital Lock is positioned for users seeking advanced access management and enhanced entry-point visibility. Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote operation, real-time monitoring and user control through a mobile application. The lock features a digital door viewer and face recognition, allowing homeowners to identify visitors before granting access. It also supports multiple user profiles for family members and guests, while smart password technology helps mask actual PINs during entry, improving privacy and security.

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.
