Latch, Inc. Launches Latch Lens Partner Program

Enables Third-Party Lock Manufacturers to Integrate LatchOS with Existing Hardware

Supports Latch’s Expansion Internationally

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Latch, Inc. (“Latch” or the “Company”), maker of the full-building enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform LatchOS, today announced the launch of its Latch Lens Partner Program. This industry-first program will allow third-party lock manufacturers to leverage Latch Lens – the universal module that is embedded in all Latch locks to connect devices to LatchOS – on any door. Through this program, Latch will be able to expand into new geographies and vertical markets without needing to develop and manufacture new products to meet specific use cases.

The Latch Lens Partner Program brings third-party lock manufacturers into Latch’s connected building ecosystem for the first time, allowing them to connect to LatchOS and offer a range of new capabilities to their customers. The Latch Lens is simple to integrate into existing hardware—from new cylindrical locks and rim locks to European formats and exit devices—enabling Latch’s partners to offer both traditional and smart locks to customers without the time and investment needed to create their own software.

LatchOS is the first enterprise SaaS operating system that brings together all the elements that make up the modern building for building managers, residents and service providers. With a 10-digit numeric display, back and enter buttons, and faster upgrade times, the newest Latch Lens allows users to enter a unique door code to unlock, while also allowing them to unlock using a smartphone, Apple Watch, or a keycard for added convenience and flexibility. From smart access to visitor and delivery management, the Latch Lens Partner Program will allow partners to bring all of Latch’s software – including the resident Latch App and property management platform Latch Manager – to their customers.

“Through our new Latch Lens Partner Program, we are unleashing the power of our operating system by bringing LatchOS to more buildings, more doors, and more people around the world, no matter the type of access mechanism being used,” said Luke Schoenfelder, co-founder and CEO of Latch. “Between regional hardware disparities, variations in building type, and different security needs and use-cases, there hasn’t been a one-size-fits-all smart access solution for every space—until now. The Latch Lens features all of our smart access products in one module, enabling any lock manufacturer to benefit from Latch’s innovation. Importantly, this product innovation and partner program will allow us to dramatically decrease our time to market and eliminate the need to develop new, tailored products as we expand LatchOS into new verticals and high-growth markets internationally.”

There are an estimated 47 million rental homes in the United States representing an approximately $54 billion total annual market – of which Latch currently services less than one percent – and an estimated 93 million apartments in Europe representing an approximately $90 billion total annual market. The Latch Lens Program will enable accelerated expansion to new customers across these geographies that need a lock format or access solution not currently available in the Latch ecosystem.

To qualify for the Latch Lens Partner Program, access device partners will need to meet Latch’s industry-leading quality standards for security, privacy, product, and experience. For more information about becoming a Latch access device partner, please email partners@latch.com.
