Toronto, Canada – January 8, 2025 – Alfred International, a leader in smart lock technology and a subsidiary of GHT Door Hardware, is raising the bar for connected home security at CES 2025. Leveraging its expertise in Z-Wave® technology, Alfred will highlight the DB2S Smart Lock and ML2 Smart Mortise Lock, both powered by the advanced Z-Wave 800 Series chip. These innovative locks are the world’s only Wi-Charge Air Cord™ ready smart locks, offering wireless power capabilities for unmatched convenience, energy efficiency, and security.

The Alfred DB2S Smart Lock combines sleek design with robust functionality. It offers seamless integration into modern smart home ecosystems while its wireless power compatibility with Wi-Charge eliminates the hassle of battery replacements. Featuring Z-Wave Long Range, the DB2S offers reliable, extended connectivity, making it perfect for larger homes or multi-unit properties.

The Alfred ML2 Smart Mortise Lock provides a seamless retrofit solution for North American mortise locks, allowing property owners to upgrade security without significant modifications. The ML2 shares many of the same technology benefits of the DB2S, boasting Z-Wave Long Range and Wi-Charge compatibility – offering continuous, maintenance-free operation, making it ideal for both residential and multi-family applications.

“Our focus on Z-Wave technology and wireless power innovation allows us to offer products that are not only highly functional but also deliver meaningful convenience, energy efficiency, and seamless integration with modern smart home ecosystems,” said Brad Cook, Head of Product and Integrations at Alfred International. “At CES 2025, we’re excited to demonstrate how Alfred is redefining what smart locks can do.”

In addition to showcasing the DB2S and ML2 locks, Alfred will preview the new DB1 Pro Smart Lock and new Interconnect Lock Kit launching later this year, expanding its product line with new options for consumers and property managers.

The Alfred DB1 Pro Smart Lock is a solution designed for the commercial smart home market. The DB1 Pro supports up to 250 pin codes, includes a rechargeable battery pack and will offer Z-Wave Long Range connectivity, all at a competitive price point. This entry-level option delivers advanced functionality tailored for commercial applications.

The Alfred Interconnect Lock Kit provides a practical way to integrate standard deadbolt locks with any of Alfred’s digital locks, transforming them into single-motion egress solutions that simultaneously retract both the latch and deadbolt. This versatile kit meets safety and code requirements while future-proofing doors without the need for a full hardware replacement. Affordable and flexible, it addresses the growing demand for adaptable, easy-to-install solutions in residential and multi-family markets.
