BLACK X Becomes the First to Achieve Both Sold Secure Certifications
BLACK X sets a new benchmark in residential security with an industry-first achievement
BLACK X is proud to announce that it is the first residential smart lock system to successfully achieve certification to both the Sold Secure SS312:2024 Diamond Lock Cylinder Standard and the Sold Secure SS504:2026 Gold Smart Lock Standard.
This milestone represents a significant advancement in residential security, combining the highest levels of mechanical attack resistance with independently tested smart lock performance.
Unlike many smart locks that focus primarily on convenience and connectivity, BLACK X was engineered from the ground up to deliver uncompromising physical security alongside intelligent access control.
Achieving both certifications demonstrates that homeowners no longer need to choose between smart technology and high-security protection.
Independently Tested. Independently Proven.
The certifications were awarded following extensive independent testing by Sold Secure, one of the UK's most respected security testing organisations.
The BLACK X system successfully achieved:
- SS312:2024 Diamond - Lock Cylinder Security
- SS504:2026 Gold - Smart Lock Security
In addition to these landmark achievements, the BLACK X platform has also been independently certified to:
- IASME Level 1 Cyber Assurance
- IASME Level 2 Cyber Assurance
- IASME Secure App Certification
Together, these certifications provide comprehensive validation across both the physical and cybersecurity aspects of the BLACK X ecosystem.
Raising the Standard for Smart Home Security
Traditional smart locks often prioritise convenience over physical security. BLACK X was designed differently.
Every component of the system has been developed to work together, combining:
- Advanced high-security mechanical cylinder technology
- Secure encrypted smart access
- Cybersecurity best practices
- Independent third-party certification
- Robust protection against both physical and digital attacks
This integrated approach ensures that the security of the door is never compromised, while providing the convenience expected from a modern smart locking system.
Why This Matters
For homeowners, installers, architects and security professionals, independent certification provides confidence that a product has been tested against recognised industry standards rather than relying solely on manufacturer claims.
Being the first smart lock system to achieve both SS312:2024 Diamond and SS504:2026 Gold demonstrates BLACK X's commitment to delivering products that exceed current security expectations.
As smart home technology continues to evolve, the need for independently verified security has never been greater. BLACK X is leading that evolution by combining advanced engineering with rigorous third-party testing.
Engineering Security for a World in Motion
Innovation is only meaningful when it is backed by performance.
By becoming the first smart lock system to achieve these two prestigious Sold Secure certifications, BLACK X has established a new benchmark for residential smart door security, proving that intelligent technology and uncompromising protection can exist in one complete solution.
BLACK X. Security without compromise.
