Hafele has introduced the Stella Digital Knob Lock, a smart door lock designed for interior spaces that combines fingerprint-based access with a minimalist design. The lock is aimed at users looking to restrict access to specific rooms without compromising the appearance of modern interiors.
Stella Digital Knob Lock Features
The Hafele Stella Digital Knob Lock allows registered users to unlock the door using their fingerprints, eliminating the need for traditional keys. The lock also supports defined user access rights, with capacity for up to three admin accounts and 27 user accounts. This allows different levels of access to be assigned depending on the user's role.
Admin accounts have access to the lock's complete functionality, including adding or removing users and guests, resetting the lock, accessing settings and logs, using advanced options, uploading user data and updating the firmware. Registered users, meanwhile, can use their fingerprints to unlock the door. The Stella Digital Knob Lock comes with Smart Freeze technology, which is designed to prevent repeated attempts to gain unauthorised access.
After 12 incorrect fingerprint attempts, the lock automatically freezes for 30 seconds. This adds a temporary lockout mechanism against repeated failed authentication attempts. The LED ring indicator provides visual feedback on the lock's operating status, making the interaction easier to understand.
Alongside its security features, Hafele has focused on the lock's appearance. The Stella Digital Knob Lock has a minimalist design intended to complement contemporary interior doors.
Stella Digital Knob Lock Features Availability
It is offered in Matt Black, Antique Brass and Stainless Steel, giving users different options to match their interiors.
The lock is positioned for use in interior spaces where controlled access is required while maintaining a clean and modern door design. The Hafele Stella Digital Knob Lock takes a relatively straightforward approach to smart access by combining fingerprint authentication with user-level access controls and a temporary lockout feature. Its support for multiple admin and user accounts makes it more practical for spaces where access needs to be shared, while the three finish options keep the design aligned with modern interiors.
