Three Part Door Solution
Multiple Entry Methods
Advanced fingerprint technology to grant instant access.
- Store up to 50 prints and each user's fingerprint is named within the app for clarity
- Self-learning smart fingerprint technology establishes robust user recognition by learning and adapting the characteristics of an enrolled fingerprint template through valid verification over time
- A fingerprint is encrypted in code (not as an image) when captured. It is stored locally on the device for security and privacy
- Waterproof sensor to IP66 with a hydrophobic coating to prevent water from settling on the sensor
Geolocation technology provides auto unlocking capabilities.
- Auto unlocking capabilities based on the proximity of the smartphone to the door
- Once within range, a trusted digital ekey allows access to the property without taking the smartphone out of a pocket
- Sophisticated technology ensures that when at home, the door cannot be unlocked by someone else when you are within range
Unlock the door with a single touch with the ERA Smart Home app.

- Grant timed or instant access for workers, cleaners or even for a home delivery
- User has full permission to control and monitor who has access to the property and track the activity of who’s entered and at what time
*Requires additional Communications Module (coming soon) and a separate ERA Smart Hub for remote unlocking
With built-in security features across the whole system
Welcome to the next generation of smarter technology.
TouchKey has been designed to work in harmony, the lock, handle and cylinder all work seamlessly together to create a new generation of smarter door locking. Designed specifically for your new composite or timber door installation, we've taken security to the next level.
- Within the ERA smart home app, a user has full permission to control and monitor who has access to the property and track the activity of who’s entered and at what time
- All digital ekeys are created securely on ERA’s cloud platform and not stored on the phone or handle, creating a two-factor authentication with ERA’s server when anyone enters the property to prevent security breaches
- Self-learning smart fingerprint technology establishes robust user recognition every time. By learning and adapting the characteristics of an enrolled fingerprint template through valid verification over time, it evolves with you
- The smarter handle uses Bluetooth to communicate with the smartphone, rather than relying on a WiFi or a data connection
- ERA's compliant data platform is hosted on a UK ERA-owned data server
Plus, independent certification.
ERA TouchKey is one of the first to achieve the Residential Smart Locking Devices Kitemark that combines the BSI IoT (Internet of Things) and TS 621 Kitemark for smart technology. Independently tested and accredited to give our customers the ultimate reassurance in TouchKey and the ERA cloud platform.
