Revolutionizing home security: Solity launches world's first Matter-enabled push-pull smart lock system

Push-pull locking is one of the key features of new smart gate lock and a door lock from South Korean tech outfit Solity, just unveiled at the IT Show 2025 in Singapore. But this unit, which adds security to your external property, also features Matter support.

What is push-pull locking?

Rather than relying on traditional handles and twisting knobs, the Solity devices use push-pull interfaces. Think a well-designed kitchen draw or cabinet from IKEA (or an upmarket, custom home interior workshop) and you’ll get an idea of how these locks work.

With the G1 gate lock system and the GEA-1000K door lock (both of which can be honestly described as “groundbreaking”), there is no fumbling for keys, entering codes, or remembering how to use a handle after a heavy night on the local mead. Instead, the gate and door seamlessly unlock, using advanced facial recognition via a 3D lens and “AI deep learning technology.”

The motorized roller latch and mortise lock enable the push-pool operation, which works on either side of the gate or door.

Facial recognition for your back gate

Solity has been in the home security business for around 40 years, and takes it seriously. The facial recognition system is considered to be lightning-fast, and capable of storing up to 100 faces. Unlike standard biometric systems, uses AI to continuously learn, ensuring reliable recognition in various lighting conditions. It can even spot subtle facial changes, which is useful if you’ve had some work done, grown a beard, or just look worse for wear!

These smart locks use Matter over Wi-Fi, with up to 4 user PIN codes available. Two mechanical keys are included, and up to 100 fingerprints and RFID cards can be registered. 4x 1.5V 'AA' Alkaline Batteries (LR6) are required, but USB Type-C power can also be used in an emergency.

Matter integration with the G1 and GEA-1000K

Solity is including Matter support with these smart locking systems, which should enable control and monitoring via Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Home. (Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant are not mentioned, but Matter support implies all five platforms should work.)

While the G1 is rated for outdoor use, the GEA-1000K is a fire-rated door lock, making it safe for use on your property’s main access doors.

Matter support means seamless interoperability, a simplified setup via your chosen app, enhanced security (Matter is built with security in mind), and of course, future proofing. One of the key purposes of Matter is to unify the smart home, which means everything is essentially future proofed by design.

It also means that various integrations and automations can be created. "Imagine coming home and your entire house comes to life when you simply unlock your door," says Jay Park, Sales Manager at Solity. "The G1 and GEA-1000K combination represents a major leap forward in smart security for homeowners."

Where can you get the Solity G1 and GEA-1000K?

Availability details for the G1 and GEA-1000K are currently sparse. We’re expecting it to be released in Singapore shortly, and will add further distribution details when they’re available.

Visit solitysmartlock.com for further product details and pricing. As announcement took place at a live event, expect the website to be updated over the next few days.
