Matter smart locks for Apple Home
Matter brings lock, unlock and lock status into Apple Home. The features that sell many locks are separate: Apple home key and hands-free unlocking need compatible Apple devices, Thread-enabled home infrastructure and a lock that supports them, which not every Matter lock does. Most locks here use Thread, and Apple says Thread automations, notifications and remote control need a Thread-enabled home hub or compatible border router. Fingerprint enrollment, guest codes and auto-lock tuning usually stay in the lock maker's app.
25 locks with Apple Home support
Newest launches first. Support reflects current manufacturer or platform documentation, not a hands-on test.
