Smart locks offer convenience and security, but many models lean too much into a gadget-like aesthetic rather than home hardware that can blend into the rest of their environment. Fortunately, manufacturers are beginning to prioritize design without compromising functionality. The new Lockly Styla takes this a step further, delivering a feature-rich smart lock with a sleek, modern look.Unlike traditional smart locks, the Lockly Styla is an all-in-one handlebar lock packed with advanced technology. Its tall, black metallic build gives it a high-end appearance, though its size may be more reminiscent of commercial security hardware than a standard residential lock. Despite this, its modern aesthetic ensures it will complement a variety of home styles while maintaining a premium look and feel.Calling the Lockly Styla a smart lock feels like an understatement. To be clear, it is a smart lock, and it offers a range of technologies that allow you to unlock and lock your door in the most convenient way possible. That means that you could unlock your door using the built-in 3D fingerprint sensor, a key fob through the built-in RFID reader, or with a good old-fashioned physical key. Theres also a pin pad that randomizes the placement of the digits so that its hard for others to tell where on the pin pad you commonly press and guess your pin code.Beyond its locking capabilities, the Styla doubles as a security camera. Equipped with a 2K camera with color night vision, a motion sensor, and two-way audio, it provides enhanced security monitoring for your entryway. It also functions as a doorbell, featuring a built-in button that rings a chime and sends notifications when pressed. While the presence of multiple buttons might cause initial confusion for guests, the doorbell is marked with a bell icon for easy identification.The interior portion of the device looks similar but without any of the tech.Unlike traditional locks with a latch, the Styla uses a ball catch mechanism to keep the door closed. This design allows users to open and close the door with a simple push or pull when the lock is disengaged, adding to its convenience.The Styla is battery-powered and rechargeable through a USB-C connector. Lockly claims that it will last 1.5 years in offline mode or 10 months when its connected to your network. Given the extensive technology integrated into the device, real-world performance will be interesting to evaluate once user reviews become available.Its refreshing to see companies like Lockly bridge the gap between functionality and aesthetics. Often, smart home devices prioritize either technology or design, but the Styla successfully merges both. For those willing to embrace a feature-rich device at their front door, it offers a compelling balance of security, convenience, and style.The Lockly Styla is priced at $699.99 and will be available in matte black, gray, and gold finishes. With multiple color options, homeowners can choose a finish that best matches their existing hardware. Lockly plans to launch the device in Q3 2025 via lockly.com.
