Whether you're already a Bold user or just beginning to explore smartening your surroundings, here’s what sets the Bold Elite apart:
What’s New in the Bold Elite?
The Bold Elite introduces several improvements over its previous model, offering a rich portfolio of upgraded features and capabilities.
Quick & Secure Installation
Just like the original Bold, the Elite is designed for effortless self-installation. It fits standard euro-cylinder profiles and replaces your existing lock with a single screw in just minutes,no drilling, wiring, or locksmith required.
SKG*** Certification
Achieved an SKG*** rating, the maximum available security standard.
Now with Tamper Alert, Leave Alert and Night Alert, you’ll get real-time notifications if something doesn’t seem right, even when you’re not at home.
Enhanced Security Features
Now with Tamper Alert, Leave Alert and Night Alert, you’ll receive real-time notifications when specific events occur, such as unexpected impacts to the lock, the door being left unlocked or activity detected during night-time hours, even when you're away from home.
Tamper Alert
If someone tries to interfere with your lock, whether that’s attempting to remove it, force it open or physically tamper with it, you’ll get an instant notification. It’s designed to alert you the moment anything suspicious is detected, so you can act quickly and stay in control.
Leave Alert
This lets you know if someone leaves the house unexpectedly. It’s especially useful if you have children, elderly relatives or housemates who might head out without notice. You’ll get a prompt on your phone so you always know who’s coming and going.
Night Alert
Your smart lock keeps watch even while you sleep. Night Alert notifies you if there’s activity during your set night-time hours, perfect for detecting unexpected movement or late-night door usage that could signal something’s not quite right.
With these smart alerts built into your Bold Elite, you’re always connected to your home’s security, no matter where you are.
Real-Time Lock Status
The Bold Elite lets you check your lock’s status through the app, providing peace of mind when you're away.
Advanced Power Management
Battery life now extends up to 3 years, or even up to 8 years in Power Save Mode, which conserves energy while maintaining core functionality. The reason the battery lasts so long is because the lock doesn't engage until it's activated through the app. Until then, the handle spins freely, using no power. The battery is only used for around 10 seconds at a time to engage or disengage the lock when the button on the app is pressed!
Smarter Home Integration
The Elite is Matter-ready, ensuring seamless integration with platforms like Google Home and Homey (yes, just like the original!). You’ll be future-proof and more connected than ever.
Follow-In Protection & Button Auto Disable
New anti-tailgating and access prevention features help ensure no one slips in behind you or tampers with the lock when unattended.
Bold Connect
Bold Connect is the secure link between your Bold Smart Lock and the internet, enabling full remote control via the Bold app. You can lock and unlock your door from anywhere, manage user access and receive real-time alerts. With end-to-end encryption and seamless integration, it brings convenience and peace of mind to your smart home.

Where can you use Bold Elite?
Residential Homes
Smart locks like Bold Elite are useful for everyday household access. Instead of relying on physical keys, homeowners can lock or unlock their doors using an app, assign digital keys to family members, and monitor entry activity remotely. This is especially practical for households with frequent visitors, cleaners, or children arriving home alone. And if someone doesn’t have a smartphone, like younger children or elderly relatives, they can still get in using a Bold fob!
Commercial Spaces
In offices or shared workplaces, managing physical keys for staff and visitors can be difficult. A smart lock system provides centralised control over access, allowing administrators to assign or revoke entry digitally. Features such as real-time status updates and multi-user authentication can support basic access management needs.
Hospitality and Short-Stay Rentals (Airbnb, Hotels)
For short-term rentals and hotels, smart locks simplify the check-in and check-out process. Hosts or property managers can send digital access keys to guests, reducing the need for face-to-face handovers or physical key storage. This is particularly helpful in self-service accommodation such as Airbnb or serviced apartments.
Healthcare Facilities
Access to areas such as pharmacies, laboratories, and patient rooms needs to be controlled carefully. Smart locks can help limit access to authorised staff only, while also maintaining a record of entry history. This can support compliance with internal protocols and industry regulations.
Final Thoughts: Should You Upgrade?
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-security, keyless smart lock, the Bold Elite is a standout choice. Designed for both convenience and peace of mind, it combines cutting-edge technology with practical features that make everyday life easier. From real-time lock status updates to effortless control via the Bold app, you’ll always know who’s coming and going, whether you're at home or away.
Its dramatically improved battery life means less hassle with charging or replacements. Plus, with advanced security features and optional access via fob for those without a smartphone, it's built to suit every household.
