Latch makes smart locks and access systems mostly found in apartment buildings. The company was delisted from Nasdaq in 2023 after falling behind on its financial reports, cut most of its staff, and rebranded as DOOR in 2025.

The good news: Latch is still operating, filing reports and selling under the new DOOR name, and its locks keep working at the door with codes and Bluetooth.

The bad news: The company nearly collapsed in 2023, with missed financial reports, a stock delisting and deep staff cuts. If it failed, buildings would have to replace their systems.

If you own Latch

  • If you rent, ask your building what the backup plan is if the system fails.
  • Keep the physical key or backup method your building provides.
