Your Galaxy Is Your New Front Door Key

Samsung Wallet, Aliro Locks, and SmartThings turn a simple tap into total home control

What if getting into your home didn’t require fumbling for keys, digging through bags, or wondering whether you locked the door on your way out? With the Samsung Wallet, SmartThings, and Aliro-certified smart locks from trusted brands like Aqara, Nuki, ULTRALOQ, and Schlage, your Galaxy phone can become your new door key, unlocking a smarter, safer, and more convenient home experience.

Now available on Samsung.com, Aliro-certified locks integrate with SmartThings and Samsung Wallet, giving you tap-to-unlock access, remote control, and powerful home automations that start the moment you walk through the door.

Tap to Unlock. Walk Right In.

Ever arrive home from a run with nowhere to stash your keys?

Instead of slowing down, soon you can simply tap your Galaxy phone on your smart lock. The door unlocks instantly, no physical keys required. Samsung Wallet securely stores your digital keys, while SmartThings keeps everything connected behind the scenes. It’s a simple gesture that makes everyday routines feel effortless.

Unlocking your door can trigger far more than just entry. When paired with SmartThings and a compatible hub, Aliro-certified smart locks can become the starting point for your entire home:

• Lights turn on as you step inside
• Thermostat adjusts to your preferred temperature
• Security cameras shift modes
• Alarms disarm and re-arm automatically

Heading out? Lock the door from your phone when you leave, and SmartThings takes care of the rest, shutting off lights or securing devices so you can leave with peace of mind.

Designed for Real-Life Moments

Technology should make life easier, especially in the moments that matter most.

Active lifestyles: Going for a run or walking the dog? Leave your keys behind. Your Galaxy has you covered.

Locked-out scares: Step outside to take out the trash and hear the door click shut? No panic required, tap your phone and get back in.

Family members: Share secure digital keys with family members through Samsung Wallet, and use SmartThings to manage alarms and routines while they’re inside. Members added to SmartThings can use a designated PIN as well to use the features.
