The unit works by being installed over [existing door locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/level-lock-pro) and will immediately provide users with access to the system via their smartphone. The lock can still be used with an existing key, but also also provide users with a [passcode entry system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraloq-latch-5) to let administrators share codes with friends, family and visitors as they require. The 'Hugolog' smart lock will deliver up to one year of standby battery life and features a wireless doorbell functionality to further enhance its overall efficiency. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aftermarket Smart Locks:** The trend of developing aftermarket smart locks upgrades existing door hardware to make high-tech security more accessible. - **Mobile-controlled Door Locks:** The trend of developing mobile-controlled door locks allows for remote entry and improved convenience and accessibility. - **Wireless Doorbell Integration:** The trend of integrating wireless doorbell functionality into smart locks enhances overall efficiency and convenience for users. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Security Industry:** The home security industry can benefit from developing aftermarket smart locks with wireless doorbell integration to provide more advanced security solutions for homeowners. - **Real Estate Industry:** The real estate industry can benefit from adopting mobile-controlled door locks to provide more convenience for renters and homeowners who prioritize advanced security solutions. - **Hospitality Industry:** The hospitality industry can benefit from adopting mobile-controlled door locks to improve guest convenience and safety, especially in short-term rental properties and hotels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Aftermarket Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-flex-touch-pro.md) - [Easy-to-Install Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ezviz-dl01s-smart-diy-lock.md) - [Discreet Retrofit Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yale-linus-smart-lock-2-lite.md) - [Rental-Friendly Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yale-approach-lock.md) - [Connected Auto-Locking Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuki-smart-lock-20.md) - [Easily Installed Intelligent Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securaki.md) - [Easy-to-Use Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot.md) - [Minimalist Biometric Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqara-u100-smart-lock.md) - [Smartphone-Centric Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schlage-encode-plus.md)
