Durin and Philips Team Up to Revolutionize Home Access with Hands-Free Entry

Durin and Philips Home Access Revolutionize Home Entry

In a groundbreaking move set for Q1 2026, Durin, Inc. has forged a strategic partnership with Philips Home Access to redefine home security and convenience. This innovative collaboration introduces hands-free, codeless entry capabilities to the Philips 3000 Series Wi-Fi Retrofit Lock, a flagship product designed to enhance smart home access.

A Seamless Entry Experience

The Philips 3000 Series serves as a retrofit lock that seamlessly integrates with most existing deadbolt systems, enabling homeowners to upgrade their security without replacing their hardware. With the newly introduced Durin Door Manager, users can experience completely hands-free access, utilizing advanced facial recognition technology. As authorized individuals approach their doors, the system will automatically unlock without the need for an app tap, code entry, or traditional keys.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Philips to provide codeless, hands-free entry to their customers," expressed Herman Yau, CEO of Durin. This partnership aims to alleviate the common concerns linked to physical keys and memorizing access codes. Furthermore, each entry will be verified through photo logging, ensuring homeowners maintain visibility of who enters their homes.

Instant Upgrade for Users

For existing Philips 3000 Series lock owners, integrating the Door Manager is straightforward and can be completed in just a few minutes. Homeowners can either purchase a virtual bundle of both the lock and the Door Manager for new installations or simply add the Door Manager to their existing setup. After installing the Philips lock and downloading the Durin app, users can create an account, connect to their home Wi-Fi, and link their Door Manager to their Philips Home Access account, allowing for automatic pairing and unlocking capabilities.

Beyond merely unlocking doors, the Durin Door Manager introduces a slew of enhanced features aimed at bolstering home security. Homeowners can generate unique MagicKeys™ for individual family members, activate multi-factor authentication for sensitive entries, view real-time snapshots of arrivals, and receive instant alerts in case of unauthorized access attempts.

The pairing of Philips' trusted hardware and Durin's intelligent camera technology ensures a secure, convenient, and highly efficient home entry experience. Together, they are paving the way for a future where home access is seamless and worry-free.

Availability and Future Prospects

The Philips 3000 Series along with the Durin Door Manager will become available for purchase in Q1 2026, making it an exciting addition for tech-savvy homeowners looking to enhance their living spaces. Current users of the Philips 3000 Series can join a waitlist for updates regarding the standalone Door Manager.

Additionally, Durin will showcase this exciting innovation at CES from January 6-9, where attendees can get a first-hand look at the integration of Philips and Durin’s technologies at booth #60462 in Eureka Park.
