# Compact Easy-to-Install Smart Locks The Level Home 'Level Lock' is Small Yet Smart By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-06-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/level-home-level-lock References: [homecrux](https://www.homecrux.com/level-smallest-smart-lock/155581/) & [level.co](https://level.co/shop/level-lock) Smart door locks are often associated with a slightly complex installation process and a large construction, which are two things the Level Home 'Level Lock' is here to change. The new smart door lock from the California-based company works by being installed in existing doors that have 2 3/8-inch and 2 3/4-inch profiles. This enables it to be easily installed with a single screwdriver before coming online and offering access via a smartphone, voice assistant and more. The Level Home 'Level Lock' comes in four finish options to choose from and is priced at $249. The smart lock is the winner of both the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Award for Product Design for 2021.
