Schlage Sense Pro Unlocks With iPhone Wallet Starting June 29

Schlage announced its Sense Pro smart deadbolt at CES 2025, and the lock is finally getting a release date: June 29 in the U.S. and Canada, priced at $399 and $549 respectively. It will be available through Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and select other retailers.

The headline feature is hands-free unlocking using Ultra Wideband technology. After adding a digital key to Apple Wallet, you walk toward your door with an iPhone in your pocket or an Apple Watch on your wrist and the lock opens automatically. Schlage says the system calculates speed, trajectory, and motion to time the unlock to the moment you actually reach the door, not just when you’re nearby.

The hardware itself makes a few notable tradeoffs. There is no keyhole at all, so physical key backup is not an option. Instead, the lock includes a keypad for code-based entry and supports up to 250 unique access codes through the Schlage Home app. It also works within Apple’s Home app for users already invested in that ecosystem.

Android Support Coming Later

Samsung Wallet and Google Wallet support are listed as coming later this year, which means the June launch is effectively an Apple-first rollout. That framing is familiar territory for UWB-based smart home products, where iPhone and Apple Watch have historically been first in line.

Battery life runs on disposable cells rated for up to six months, with a built-in USB-C port as a backup power source if the batteries run low. For a lock that has no physical key fallback, that USB-C port is doing real work as a last resort. Battery endurance matters more here than on most accessories, since a dead lock with no keyhole is a genuinely inconvenient problem.

At $399, the Sense Pro is priced at the premium end of the smart lock market. Whether the hands-free convenience justifies that over a standard deadbolt with a spare key under the mat is a question the keyhole-free design makes harder to sidestep.
