The Covlor smart door lock is built on a simple idea: a lock should open instantly for the people you trust, stay firmly shut for everyone else, and keep doing both reliably for years. This article introduces the Covlor smart door lock range — what it offers, the technology inside it, and why it’s designed to be a stable, secure choice for modern homes.
Rather than hype, we’ll focus on the concrete features and design decisions that define the product.
What the Covlor smart door lock offers
Across its lineup — the CR-L108, CR-L99, CR-L88 and CR-L51 — the Covlor smart door lock brings together face and palm recognition, fingerprint, PIN, RFID/NFC card and app control, with a concealed mechanical key for emergencies. Every model pairs these access methods with a multi-bolt body, wide door-thickness support and emergency USB-C power. The idea is that you choose a form factor and budget without compromising on the essentials.
Face and palm recognition as standard
Where many brands reserve advanced biometrics for their most expensive models, Covlor builds face and palm recognition into its range as standard. Face recognition gives hands-free entry when you arrive with full hands; palm recognition adds a touch-free, hygienic option. Both are ideal for busy households and shared doors. Learn how the technology works in our face recognition lock guide.
Stable, reliable performance
Stability comes from getting the fundamentals right. The Covlor smart door lock uses a capacitive fingerprint sensor that reads dry, sweaty or warm fingers reliably, sealed electronics that cope with heat, humidity and dust, and efficient batteries backed by emergency USB-C power. A correctly fitted Covlor lock, with the bolt moving freely, is engineered to keep performing day in and day out rather than degrading after a season.
Security you can rely on
The Covlor smart door lock is designed to be as hard to defeat as it is easy to use. Multi-bolt bodies and anti-tamper hardware resist forced entry; 3D-capable face recognition with liveness detection and anti-spoofing fingerprint sensing reject photos and lifted prints; and anti-peep PIN entry defeats shoulder-surfing. It’s security built into every layer, not bolted on.
Privacy by design
Because biometrics are personal, the Covlor smart door lock favours on-device processing of fingerprints and faces rather than uploading them to a server. On-device matching keeps sensitive data local, protects your privacy, and keeps recognition working even without internet — an increasingly important consideration for buyers everywhere.

Built by an AI-first Indian brand
Covlor was founded by Vibhooti Kishor, an IIT Guwahati alumnus with a background in artificial intelligence and machine learning, with roots in Bihar and a long-term vision to grow more engineering capability there. That foundation means intelligence is central to the product rather than an afterthought. Read the fuller story in the Covlor brand story and from Bihar to smart homes.
Support and value
A lock is a long-term relationship, so the Covlor smart door lock is backed by warranty, spare-part availability and reachable support. Flagship models start around ₹24,000 and include face and palm recognition as standard — often better value than imports charging a premium for the same biometrics. For international buyers, confirm shipping and warranty for your country first; the team can advise over WhatsApp.
Who the Covlor smart door lock is for
The Covlor smart door lock suits homeowners and renters who want modern, hands-free access without overpaying, joint families that need capacity for many users, and anyone who values on-device privacy and reachable support. It’s equally at home on an apartment door in a metro and a house in a smaller town. See how it fits different homes in our Indian homes and European homes guides.
The Covlor range at a glance
Covlor keeps its range focused so every model earns its place. The CR-L108 is a flagship-class lock with the full suite of access methods for households that want everything; the CR-L99 and CR-L88 balance advanced biometrics with value; and the CR-L51 series offers clean, reliable biometric entry for those who want simplicity. Across the lineup, the common thread is face and palm recognition, multi-bolt security and emergency USB-C power — so you choose a form factor and budget, not a compromise on the essentials.
Easy to install and live with
A Covlor smart door lock replaces a standard cylinder or mortise without rewiring and fits in under an hour with the supplied template, though professional installation guarantees alignment. Day to day, a clear app lets you manage users, issue and revoke guest codes, and view access logs on connected models. Enrol each person once and they simply walk up and are recognised — the lock fades into the background of a smoother, key-free routine.
Covlor compared with imported brands
Many imported locks charge a premium for advanced biometrics and offer support that ends at the border. The Covlor smart door lock brings face and palm recognition as standard at a fair price, with reachable warranty and spare parts. It doesn’t claim to be the biggest or oldest name — what it offers is a focused, modern product line, honest positioning and genuine support.

Who should choose Covlor
The Covlor smart door lock is a strong fit for anyone who wants modern, hands-free access with on-device privacy and dependable support, without overpaying for an imported nameplate. Joint families value the capacity and multiple methods; privacy-conscious buyers value on-device biometrics; and value-focused buyers get flagship features from around ₹24,000. International buyers simply confirm shipping and warranty for their country first.
The bottom line
The Covlor smart door lock is built to be exactly what a front-door lock should be: fast for the people you trust, firmly shut for everyone else, and stable and reliable for years. With face and palm recognition as standard, multi-bolt security, emergency power and on-device privacy — backed by reachable support and fair pricing — it’s a modern, honest choice for homes that want dependable keyless entry. Compare it against any alternative on the fundamentals, and it holds its own.
An all-metal gear motor built to last
One of the less visible but most important differences in the Covlor smart door lock is the motor that drives the bolt. Covlor uses a motor with all-metal gears rather than the plastic gears found in many locks. Plastic gears wear, strip and crack over thousands of lock cycles — a common reason budget locks fail after a year or two. Metal gears are far more durable, so a Covlor motor is built to keep working smoothly for roughly twice as long as a typical plastic-geared motor. For a lock you operate several times a day for years, that difference in the drive mechanism is a major reason Covlor locks are so stable and long-lasting.
