Schlage’s Sense Pro Smart Deadbolt Goes on Sale June 29 With UWB Hands‑Free Unlocking

The lock pairs Schlage’s Converge ultra wideband system with Matter over Thread to provide automatic approach unlocking and faster smart‑home control.

Overview

  • The Sense Pro will be available June 29, 2026, priced at $399 in the U.S. and $549 in Canada with retail distribution through outlets such as The Home Depot and major online stores.
  • Hands‑free unlocking uses Schlage’s proprietary Converge UWB system and Apple Home Key so a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch will automatically unlock as you approach the door.
  • Hands‑free features require specific devices and software, namely an iPhone 11 or later on iOS 18.5+ or an Apple Watch Series 6 or later on watchOS 11.5+, and some iPhone models without UWB are excluded.
  • The lock adds Matter over Thread support plus built‑in Wi‑Fi for remote management through the Schlage Home app and Apple Home app, offers up to 250 access codes, selectable hands‑free modes, up to six months of battery life, and a USB‑C emergency power port.
  • Schlage says Aliro certification is expected later in 2026 so Samsung Wallet and Google Wallet hands‑free and tap‑to‑unlock will arrive after approval; currently the Aqara U400 is the only other consumer lock with Aliro UWB hands‑free unlocking.
