Latch was designed as an authentic solution for a human need, access. The design engages two senses, sight and touch.
The powerful lens module pushes the boundaries of simplicity. It's designed to rest discreetly until awakened. Very familiar, very inviting.
The Latch handle, with its sculptural back and strong weighted feel, is immediately desired. Like holding the hand of a familiar other.
These two senses subconsciously work together. They draw the user to the design. Access then becomes aesthetic and functional.

Locks were invented as a solution for a basic human need, access. Latch is intelligent access reimagined for your environment. The design thoughtfully engages the physical and digital experience, introducing a new inclusive and seamless design.
Latch has been designed and manufactured with every millimeter considered. We created an innovative new technology module and combined that with carefully sculpted metal casting, making Latch a memorable experience that is both innovative and intimately familiar.
Latch is for everyone and anyone. Your mom, the pizza man, and your dog walker. Latch intuitively conveys trust, longevity, and mindfulness through its silent yet familiar design.
Low tech and high tech form a symbiotic relationship through the combination of traditional die casted metal parts and a technologically advanced lens. This creates a seamless interface that presents its key components only when needed in a welcoming way.
The gentle curvature of the lens affixed high on the face of the body recollects the human eye. With a soft natural gaze via a semitransparent enclosure, the Latch Lens conveys an instinctual familiarity to establish trust.
Carefully designed with a a sculptural back and a strong weighted feel the handle grounds the user for a distinct and memorable experience.
Quality materials, extensive testing, and a simple design establish longevity. The handle and body are crafted from durable die casted metal for feel and endurance. The high tech precision lens combines multiple layers of advanced technology into one simple unified module that is hermetically sealed and weather proofed for reliability and mindfulness day after day, time after time.
