SwitchBot Lock Ultra Max is the successor to SwitchBot Lock Ultra. With the redesigned UltraDrive motor, unlocking is approximately 3.2 times faster and the maximum rotational speed is 160 rpm. A magnetic mounting mechanism is standard on the main unit, improving installation. It comes in two colors, black and sand gold.
SwitchBot Lock Ultra Max is the latest version designed specifically for Japan. One of its major advances over the previous model is the adoption of the newly developed UltraDrive motor. UltraDrive delivers a maximum rotational speed of 160 rpm, and unlocking and locking a conventional thumbturn, which rotates approximately 90°, is said to take about 0.21 seconds.
The device comes standard with a magnetic mounting mechanism, allowing it to be secured to a metal entrance door by magnetic force without using double-sided tape. An adhesive mounting plate is also included for doors that are not compatible with magnets.
The color lineup consists of black and the new sand gold. In the Japanese lineup, this interior-friendly color replaces the previous black and silver options.
For the Japanese version, the main unit is priced at ¥26,980 including tax, while a set with a facial-recognition doorbell is priced at ¥48,980 including tax. A sales link on Rakuten Ichiba is also provided.
