Smart Door Lock Statistics 2026: Adoption, Sales and Security

Smart door lock ownership reached approximately 11% of US internet households in Q2 2025, according to Parks Associates. Parks Associates had put ownership at 11% of US Internet households, or over 12 million households, in July 2022. These smart door lock statistics show ownership has barely moved between the two readings.

Parks Associates names the perception that existing locks work well enough and do not require replacement as the most significant barrier. Allegion’s electronic products revenue reached $1,075.1 million in 2025, up from $946.4 million in 2024. Among households with a security system, 25% own a smart door lock, compared to 3% of households without one. Below: ownership, buying intent, the lock makers, recorded security flaws, the Aliro standard and prices.

Smart Lock Purchase Intent and Adoption Barriers

• Parks Associates reported in July 2022 that 29% of US broadband households reported an intent to purchase a smart door lock in the next six months.
• That intent was up from 21% in 2018.
• Parks Associates names the most significant barrier as the perception that existing locks and garage door systems work well enough and do not require replacement.
• Intent near 29% against ownership near 11% points to a large gap between interest and actual purchases.

What are the downsides of smart door locks?

Parks Associates research shows several barriers continue to limit faster adoption, led by the view that existing locks work well enough. A UC Berkeley security analysis of five commercially-available locks found flaws that could grant capabilities ranging from unauthorized home access to irrevocable control of the lock.

Smart Lock Ownership and Home Security Systems

• Among households with a security system, 25% own a smart door lock.
• Among households without security systems, 3% own one.
• Smart lock ownership is 8.3 times as high in homes with a security system.
• Parks Associates says its research highlights the strong relationship between security systems and access control adoption.

Parks reports ownership by household group: it is far higher among homes with a security system (25%) than among homes without one (3%). Those systems can also include devices such as home security cameras.

Yale and August Smart Lock Business Statistics

• Fortune Brands closed its acquisition of the US and Canadian Yale and August residential smart locks business on June 20, 2023.
• The purchase price was $800 million for Emtek, Schaub and the Yale and August business, with $410 million combined FY 2022 sales.
• Measured as a compound annual growth rate (CAGR), the acquired businesses carried a 17% five-year net sales CAGR.
• Yale and August made up approximately 41% of revenue, against 59% for Emtek and Schaub.
• That puts Yale and August at roughly $168 million of the combined FY 2022 sales.

Fortune Brands also split the revenue by market, between repair and remodel (R&R) work and new construction: approximately 80% came from R&R and 20% from new construction.

ASSA ABLOY and Kwikset Smart Lock Statistics

• ASSA ABLOY’s acquisition of Spectrum Brands’ Hardware and Home Improvement (HHI) division was valued at $4.3 billion.
• Under the Department of Justice settlement, ASSA ABLOY had to divest its Yale and August residential smart lock businesses in the United States and Canada to Fortune Brands Innovations.
• The residential market accounts for about 1/3 of ASSA ABLOY sales.

Smart Lock Vulnerability Statistics

• CVE-2022-32509 in Nuki Smart Lock 3.0 scores 8.8, rated HIGH, for missing certificate validation on HTTP communications.
• CVE-2022-32505 lets attackers send malformed BLE packets to block functions and reboot a Nuki device, scored 7.1 (HIGH). BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy.
• CVE-2026-16581 in the igloohome Smart Lock Mobile App carries a 6.9 (MEDIUM) CVSS 4.0 base score.
• CVE-2023-50124 lets an attacker unlock the Flient Smart Door Lock through default credentials on a debug interface, scored 6.8 (MEDIUM).
• CVE-2025-15474 lets an attacker within BLE range force an AuntyFey Smart Combination Lock into lockout states, scored 5.3 (MEDIUM).

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores above mix version 3.1 and version 4.0 ratings, as the database lists them, so they rank severity within each record rather than across versions. Like other connected IoT devices, smart locks pick up flaws through their apps and radios as well as their hardware.

How hackable are smart door locks?

A March 2016 UC Berkeley technical report presented three categories of attacks against smart locks and analyzed five commercially-available locks. Recorded flaws include default credentials on a debug interface that let an attacker unlock the Flient Smart Door Lock. Most listed flaws need nearby radio access or physical access, not a remote attack.

Aliro and Matter Smart Lock Standards

• Aliro 1.0 was released by the Connectivity Standards Alliance on February 26, 2026.
• Aliro supports Near Field Communication (NFC) for tap-to-access, Bluetooth LE for long-range communication, and Bluetooth LE plus Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for hands-free authentication.
• The initiative unifies over 220 Member companies, from lock manufacturers to silicon vendors and mobile platform leaders.
• Aliro uses asymmetric cryptography for trusted interactions between user devices and readers.
• LG’s Smart Deadbolt Lock, part of Apple Home Collection, is Matter compatible and supports Aliro.

Key finding: According to the Connectivity Standards Alliance, Aliro works across offices, universities, hospitality venues and single and multi-family homes, even in areas without network coverage such as underground parking garages. A shared standard is meant to let one phone credential open locks from different brands, alongside smart home platforms such as Google Home.

Smart Lock Prices in the Apple Home Collection

• LG Smart Deadbolt Lock starts at $349.95 (US) and is available in the US and Canada.
• LG Video Doorbell Wired starts at $249.95 (US).
• LG Floodlight Cam starts at $399.95 (US) and LG Outdoor Cam Plug-In at $299.95 (US).
• LG Indoor Cam Plug-In starts at $199.95 (US).

The lock is the second most expensive of the five priced LG accessories and costs more than the doorbell it pairs with, which makes the front door one of the costlier upgrades in a smart home setup.

Are smart locks actually secure?

Smart locks carry real security flaws: a UC Berkeley analysis found that flaws in the design, implementation and interaction models of existing locks can be exploited by several classes of adversaries. CVE-2022-32509 affects Nuki Smart Lock 3.0 before version 3.3.5.

Keeping lock firmware and apps updated, and checking a model in the vulnerability database before buying, helps reduce risk.

Conclusion

Smart door lock ownership sits at approximately 11% of US internet households in Q2 2025, while Allegion’s electronic products revenue reached $1,075.1 million in 2025. Demand is concentrated in homes with security systems, and the lock makers are growing electronic sales faster than households are adopting.

The next test is whether Aliro and phone-based home keys move ownership off its plateau once compatible locks reach stores.
