Overview
Fortress Smart Lock transforms your front door into a secure, intelligent entry point. The matte-black zinc alloy housing complements modern and traditional door styles alike, while the illuminated capacitive keypad remains visible even on the darkest nights. Inside, a Grade 1 deadbolt withstands forced-entry attempts far beyond what standard locks endure.
Grant contractors a code that expires at 5 PM. Send your dog walker a recurring weekday PIN. Let family members use their fingerprint while you monitor every entry from your phone. Fortress logs who unlocked the door and when — providing accountability without sacrificing convenience.

Customer reviews
Jennifer A. Atlanta, GA
"Fingerprint unlock is insanely fast — faster than fumbling for keys with groceries in hand. The guest code feature saved us during a family visit. Everyone had their own access."
Chris P. Boston, MA
"Installed in 25 minutes using the video guide. Auto-lock gives me peace of mind — I used to wonder if I locked the door after leaving. Now I get a confirmation every time."
Maria G. Miami, FL
"Solid build quality and the keypad lights up beautifully at night. Paired with our Pulse camera for a complete entry system. Wish the app showed battery percentage more prominently."
