DEN Smarthome Unveils World’s First Z-Wave® Smart Door Strike to Unlock the Future of Access Control

The Challenge

Traditional smart locks are often bulky and loud, with short battery life and limited wireless range, posing challenges for both individual consumers and large-scale installations alike. DEN Smarthome set out to solve these challenges by delivering smart access control without disrupting a door’s aesthetics.

The Solution

DEN Smarthome developed the DEN SmartStrike™, an innovative, secure, and visually discrete solution for residential access control. Integrated into the strike plate rather than the door hardware, the DEN SmartStrike™ is powered by Z-Wave Long Range (LR) technology and the power management capabilities of the Silicon Labs Z-Wave 800 to deliver long battery life, seamless interoperability, and enhanced security. This ensures a hassle-free experience for both homeowners and installers.

The Result

The DEN SmartStrike delivers a sleek, robust, and reliable smart lock solution that can operate for up to two years on two lithium AA batteries. Its innovative design and Z-Wave LR integration are already making it a popular choice among homeowners, builders, and architects in just a few months after launch.
