The Be-Tech r2 was conceived to elevate the smartlock from a purely technical device to a recognizable design object, one that communicates safety, innovation, and care for user experience.

At the heart of the concept is the distinctive “r”-shaped handle, which gives the product its name and identity. More than a stylistic feature, the handle is a functional innovation: its curvature naturally guides the user’s hand, while its offset geometry prevents accidental finger jamming, a common issue in push-pull doors. This shape also allows a more intuitive grip, especially useful in fast-paced or shared-use environments such as hotels or co-living spaces.

The geometry of the r2 was deliberately developed to achieve a minimalist yet expressive silhouette. The front and back modules are vertically aligned, compact, and proportioned to maintain harmony with contemporary architectural doors — from residential spaces to boutique hotels and serviced apartments.

The body of the smartlock is crafted in aluminum alloy and ABS, chosen for their durability and tactile refinement. The matte finish reduces visual clutter, while discreet LED lighting communicates system status without disturbing the overall balance of the form.

Functionally, the r2 integrates multiple unlocking methods (Face ID, fingerprint, PIN, RFID, mobile app) into a modular system that enables easy upgrades or repairs. The intercom feature is seamlessly embedded, with no visible disruption to the surface, and the exit is made easier via a capacitive touch-and-go button.

Overall, the r2 defines a new category of smart access systems: not just tools for entry, but interfaces of interaction that combine industrial logic with a signature design language.
