Lockin has introduced two new smart locks, the Veno Pro Wireless and V7 Max, which the company claims do not require battery recharging or replacement. Both models use wireless optical charging, drawing power from an infrared light source aimed at the lock around the clock.
The system relies on a separate power module that converts wired electricity into a focused beam of infrared light. This light is directed at a small panel on the lock’s interior side, supplying a low but continuous trickle of power. Lockin says the locks will be available for preorder shortly after CES 2026 and are expected to ship early this year.
The V7 Max is the more advanced of the two. Building on the company’s earlier V5 Max model, it adds multiple biometric options, including palm vein, facial recognition, and finger vein scanning instead of a traditional fingerprint reader. The lock features 5-inch touchscreens and cameras on both the interior and exterior.
Users can configure the exterior display to show either the live camera feed or an animated character. A physical shutter on the interior unit can block the camera for privacy. The finger vein sensor is integrated into a groove on the inside of the handle so a user’s finger naturally aligns with it when gripping the handle. A small button near the bottom of the lock functions as a doorbell for visitors.
Wireless charging for the V7 Max comes from a compact transmitter module that can sit on a table within four meters of the lock or be mounted on a wall. According to Lockin, it performs best when positioned directly in front of the lock rather than at an angle. The V7 Max supports Matter, allowing integration with major smart home platforms.
The V7 Max is designed as a mortise lock, a format more commonly found in commercial buildings. Installing it on a typical residential front door would likely require significant modifications, and professional installation is recommended.
The Veno Pro Wireless is a redesigned version of the existing Veno Pro. It retains features such as palm vein and fingerprint recognition, built-in video doorbell functionality, and Matter support. Unlike the V7 Max, the Veno Pro Wireless is a standard deadbolt replacement, making it more suitable for typical home doors and simpler to install.
Lockin has not disclosed exact pricing for the new models. However, the company indicated that the Veno Pro Wireless will be priced roughly in line with the current Veno Pro, which costs about $380.
