How to lock your front door with Siri
Quick answer
Say "Hey Siri, lock the front door." If you have a HomeKit-compatible smart lock set up in the Home app, Siri locks it. For security, Siri can lock without confirmation but asks to confirm before unlocking.
Say this
“Hey Siri, lock the front door”
How it works
- 01Add a HomeKit-compatible lock as an accessory in the Home app.
- 02Name it clearly (e.g. "Front Door") so Siri matches it.
- 03Say "lock the front door" from iPhone, Watch, HomePod, or CarPlay.
- 04Unlocking by voice requires authentication for security.

If Siri doesn't get it
If nothing happens, confirm the lock is HomeKit-compatible (not just app-based), is set up in the Home app, and that a home hub is online for remote access.
