Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its new smart door lock, the Smart Door Lock G100, a versatile keyless entry device spotted on the Chinese platform Youpin under model number XMZNMST12LK. The lock boasts nine different unlocking methods, blending convenience and security for modern homes. The device supports multiple unlocking modes including fingerprint recognition, keypad PIN entry, NFC, and remote smartphone controls, providing a comprehensive keyless solution.

The G100 lets users unlock their front door without a traditional key. Among its nine access options are a fingerprint scanner with an impressive 99.29% recognition accuracy, a keypad for permanent or temporary PIN codes, and an NFC module that works with compatible smartphones, smartwatches, or NFC cards. It also supports remote unlocking via Bluetooth through a smartphone app. For emergencies, a physical key backup is included.
