Why Black X

Smart, Secure, Simple

Everything a busy household wants from a smart lock, fitted and set up for you by a locksmith with 25 years behind him.

Lock and unlock from your phone

Control your door from anywhere with the free ABS app, and check it is locked without walking back to it.

Digital keys, not cut ones

Give family, cleaners or trades their own access instead of hiding a spare key under the mat.

Keypad, fingerprint and fob options

Add a code pad, a fingerprint reader or tap fobs, tags and cards, whatever suits your household.

No drilling, no wiring

The Black X replaces your existing euro cylinder in minutes and keeps your current door and handles.

Mechanical key backup

It still takes a normal key as a fallback, so a flat battery never locks you out.

Up to three years on a battery

A single CR2 battery runs it for up to three years, with plenty of warning before it needs changing.

Good to Know

Black X Questions

Will the Black X fit my door?
In almost all cases, yes. It replaces a standard euro cylinder, the format used on uPVC, composite, timber, aluminium and steel doors, including inward and outward opening and many patio and sliding doors. Jason will confirm the fit before fitting.
What happens if the battery dies?
You get plenty of low-battery warnings in the app well ahead of time, and the lock still accepts a normal mechanical key as a backup, so you are never locked out.
Do I still get a physical key?
Yes. The Black X comes with mechanical keys as well as the smart access, so you always have a fallback.
Is it secure?
The Black X is independently tested and certified against both physical and cyber-security standards. For homes that also want the strongest anti-snap protection on a mechanical cylinder, we fit ABS Master cylinders too.
Which finishes are available?
Five: matte black, matte white, polished brass, satin nickel and polished chrome, so it matches your existing door hardware.
