Turns out that Ring built one, and the concept behind it is as simple as it is ingenious. In the first quarter of 2027, the Amazon-owned company, whose name is synonymous with video doorbells, will release its first-ever smart lock, and it will include a truly innovative feature: a built-in "Power Dial" that will allow you to manually generate enough energy to quickly unlock your door, even if the battery is totally dead—no manual key required. I got a chance to preview the mechanism at a meeting with Ring founder Jamie Siminoff, and I walked away kicking myself that I didn't wait to get one.
Why Ring's "Power Dial" will stand out among smart locks
Credit: Ring / AmazonThe Power Dial is a way to "get rid of [the need for a] backup key without the anxiety," said Siminoff, who noted that, considering the pace of technological development (he's able to turn on his Tesla using his phone), "it's insane that we still use keys [to enter our homes]"—pin tumbler locks being essentially unchanged from technology invented nearly 200 years ago. With no keyhole that can be picked, a smart lock can also be that much more secure.
Despite this innovation, when it comes to market early next year (after receiving FCC approval), Ring's smart lock will cost about the same as its competitors, around $250 in one of three finishes (brass, stainless steel, or black). There's no exact release date yet.
Ring is also releasing a new line of security cameras

It's releasing four new indoor and outdoor 4K cameras with (according to the company) improved viewing angles, better low-light recording, and options like true 360-degree panning and 175-degree tilt. These devices are available for purchase or preorder now, ranging in price from $70 to $220.
