| Xiaomi’s Self-Install Smart Lock |
If you’ve been waiting for a smart lock that promises a hassle-free setup without a handyman’s invoice, Xiaomi might have just answered your call. Following its quiet appearance on the global website last October and subsequent releases in Japan and the UAE, the Xiaomi Self-Install Smart Lock is now popping up at major European retailers, bringing a new wave of accessible home automation to the region.
Forget waiting for an official launch announcement—European smart home enthusiasts can get their hands on the device right now. Here’s what we know.
Availability and Pricing: Where and How Much?
The lock, identified by the model number BHR07XDGL, has landed at several key online stores. At Galaxus—serving markets like France and Germany—you can currently order the standard kit for approximately €145 to €153. For those wanting an extra layer of convenience, a second kit bundled with a keypad accessory is listed between €179 and €189.
Deliveries are projected for mid to late February 2026, making this a very imminent upgrade for your home security.
In a potentially enticing deal, Italian retailer Trippodo has listed the smart lock for an attractive €121. As always, pricing and stock can fluctuate, so keen shoppers might want to act fast.

Designed for the DIYer: No Drilling Required
True to its “Self-Install” name, Xiaomi emphasizes that this lock is designed for relatively easy fitting to your existing door lock mechanism. The company states that no drilling is required, which should come as a relief to renters or anyone wary of permanent modifications. The device is engineered to work over your current lock, capable of turning a physical key or door knob automatically once the smart lock is engaged.
Smart Features That Go Beyond a Key
So, what do you get for your money? The feature set is comprehensive and aimed at modern smart home users:
- Multiple Unlocking Methods: Choose from a fingerprint sensor, permanent or temporary numeric passwords, Bluetooth, and voice controls for hands-free access.
- Full Remote Management: All access can be managed via the Xiaomi Home app. Grant temporary access to guests, check if the door is locked in real-time, and review access logs from anywhere.
- Enhanced Security: The lock includes anti-tamper alerts to notify you of suspicious activity and features automatic locking for peace of mind.
- Smart Home Integration: Crucially, the lock boasts support for Matter. This universal smart home standard should allow it to integrate seamlessly not just within the Xiaomi ecosystem, but with other major platforms like Google Home, Apple Home, and Amazon Alexa, promising a future-proof setup.
The Bottom Line
The arrival of the Xiaomi Self-Install Smart Lock at European retailers marks a significant move. It brings a competitively priced, feature-rich, and user-installable option to a growing market. While it remains unclear when Xiaomi will host an official European launch event, the product is effectively already here for early adopters.
For homeowners and renters looking to step into smart security without complex installation or breaking the bank, this new offering from Xiaomi is certainly worth a close look. Its blend of convenience, multiple access methods, and Matter compatibility makes it a compelling contender in the bustling smart lock arena.
