The lock works by being installed much in the same way that a traditional deadbolt is and will work with a built-in [3D fingerprint scanner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desloc-b200) to authorize a person before allowing them inside. The device also works with the accompanying app to let users share access to others with ease, while compatibility with Google Assistant and [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securam-touch) Alexa voice assistants will further enhance intuitiveness. The Lockly Flex Touch smart lock also works with conventional keys as a backup and features a rust and corrosion resistance as well as a one-year battery life rating. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 11% - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Locks with Biometric Scanners:** The use of biometrics to unlock doors will become more common, thus increasing demand for smart locks with fingerprint scanners. - **Voice Assistant Compatibility in Smart Locks:** Smart locks with voice assistant compatibility will become more popular as consumers seek out ways to control their locks hands-free. - **Shareable Access in Smart Locks:** Smart locks with the ability to share access with others through apps will become more prevalent as the need for easy, temporary guest access increases. ### Where This Applies - **Home Security Industry:** The home security industry can capitalize on the growing demand for smart locks with advanced security features like biometric scanners. - **Home Automation Industry:** Companies in the home automation industry can innovate by incorporating more voice assistant compatibility in their products, particularly in smart locks. - **Sharing Economy Industry:** The sharing economy industry can leverage the growing popularity of shareable access in smart locks to create new business models that offer temporary access to shared spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biometric Bank-Grade Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securam-touch.md) - [Connected Aftermarket Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-flex-touch-pro.md) - [Fingerprint-Scanning Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-lock-bolt.md) - [Tubular Handle Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-styla.md) - [Palm-Recognizing Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-deadbolt.md) - [Intuitive Access Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraloq-latch-5.md) - [Auto-Securing Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-security-smart-lock.md) - [Multifunctional Smart Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockin-veno-pro.md) - [Biometric Authentication Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraloq-smart-home-locks.md)
