The DESLOC Smart Lock K140 Plus, a next-generation smart deadbolt that uses advanced Palm Vein recognition technology to deliver secure, contactless access for modern households.

DESLOC, a global smart lock brand under DESMAN, has launched the K140 Plus smart deadbolt featuring Palm Vein recognition technology. The next-generation lock enables contactless access by simply hovering a palm near the sensor, addressing limitations of traditional fingerprint systems.

Advanced Biometric Technology

Palm Vein recognition identifies unique vein patterns beneath the skin rather than surface fingerprints. This internal biometric data is difficult to replicate, providing enhanced protection against spoofing. Built-in liveness detection prevents unauthorized access using photos, videos, or replicas.

The technology achieves a false acceptance rate as low as 1 in 1,000,000, significantly reducing unintended unlock risks. The system works reliably even when traditional fingerprint recognition struggles, including situations involving wet, dry, oily, or worn fingers.

Mark Dong, CEO of DESLOC, emphasized the technology's practical benefits. "Palm vein recognition represents the next evolution in smart lock technology," Dong said. "With K140 Plus, we wanted to create a solution that works effortlessly for every family member, children, seniors, or anyone whose fingerprints may not always be recognized, while delivering stronger security and enhanced privacy."

Privacy-Focused Design

All biometric data is encrypted and stored locally on the device, never uploaded to the cloud. This approach gives users greater control over sensitive information and enhanced protection against data breaches. The local storage model addresses growing privacy concerns around cloud-based biometric systems.

The K140 Plus supports up to 100 palm vein profiles, making it suitable for large families, rental properties, or multi-user households. This expanded capacity exceeds typical palm-recognition smart locks currently available.

Extended Battery and Durability

The lock includes a 10,000mAh rechargeable battery delivering nine months of typical use—longer than many standard smart locks. Low-battery alerts and a discreet USB-C emergency power port ensure uninterrupted access. The extended battery life reduces maintenance frequency for homeowners.

Built with IP65 weatherproof rating, the K140 Plus offers stronger resistance to dust and heavy rain compared to standard smart locks. BHMA Grade 3 certification confirms the lock meets rigorous standards for security, durability, and performance.

Smart Home Integration and Features

Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote app control without additional hubs. Users can monitor lock status, receive real-time alerts, manage access, and control the lock from anywhere via the DESLOC App. The system integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

Millimeter-wave radar sensing detects hand movement for touch-free interaction, delivering seamless and hygienic access. This gesture-based entry complements the palm vein recognition system.

A built-in magnetic sensor confirms the door is fully closed before automatically locking, preventing false locks and improving daily security. The lock automatically detects left- or right-hand door orientation during installation, simplifying the setup process.

Multiple Access Methods

Beyond palm vein recognition, the K140 Plus supports PIN code entry, remote app control, and mechanical key backup. This multi-method approach ensures access even if primary systems fail or users prefer alternative unlocking options.

The hidden keypad design and slim profile complement various door styles and home aesthetics. DIY installation typically takes 10-15 minutes without professional tools, according to DESLOC.

Industry Recognition

Unveiled at CES 2026, the K140 Plus received a TechRadar CES 2026 Award. The recognition highlights the lock's innovation in biometric home security, combining privacy protection with everyday convenience.

DESLOC products have gained traction in the U.S. market, earning top category rankings on Amazon and recognition from Tom's Guide, AndroidGuys, TechRadar, TWICE, Residential Systems, and the TWICE VIP Awards.

Pricing and Availability

The DESLOC K140 Plus is available beginning March 5, 2026, at DESLOC.com and Amazon.com for a suggested retail price of $169.99. A launch promotion offers the lock for $127.49 with code PRK140PS, valid through April 5, 2026, at 11:59 PM.
