Schlage will release the Sense Pro smart deadbolt lock in the U.S. market on June 29, 2026 [1].
The product represents a shift toward more precise spatial awareness in home security. By utilizing Ultra Wideband technology, the lock can distinguish exactly where a user is located, reducing the likelihood of accidental unlocks while providing a seamless entry experience.
The Sense Pro is priced at $399 [1]. This hardware was first introduced to the public during CES 2025 [1]. The device focuses on "approach-to-unlock" functionality, which allows users to unlock their doors without physically touching the lock or manually opening an app.
Technical specifications include support for Ultra Wideband (UWB) [2] and built-in WiFi [3]. To ensure broad compatibility across different smart home ecosystems, the lock supports Matter over Thread [3]. This allows the device to communicate efficiently with various controllers, and sensors within a home network.
Integration with Apple Home is a central feature of the device. The lock supports Apple Home Key, enabling hands-free unlocking for users within the Apple ecosystem [2]. This integration allows the lock to trigger the deadbolt based on the proximity of a certified Apple device.
By combining Matter over Thread with UWB, Schlage aims to address common latency and reliability issues found in older generations of smart locks. The use of Thread provides a low-power mesh network that maintains a stable connection even if the primary internet gateway experiences instability [3].
“The Sense Pro is priced at $399.”
The adoption of Ultra Wideband (UWB) in consumer locks marks a transition from simple proximity sensing—which often relies on less precise Bluetooth signals—to high-precision spatial awareness. By pairing UWB with the Matter over Thread standard, Schlage is positioning the Sense Pro to be interoperable across different platforms while solving the 'false trigger' problem where doors unlock while the user is still several feet away.
