    Ultra-wideband sensing unlocks the door as you walk up with a phone or Apple Watch, and Matter over Thread connects it to Apple, Google, Alexa and Home Assistant without a hub. The hands-free unlock can be hit or miss, sometimes leaving you waiting at the door.
    What people praise
    • Unlocks hands-free as you approach, phone in pocket
    • Works with Apple Home, Google, Alexa and Home Assistant
    • Installs in under 10 minutes
    Common complaints
    • Hands-free unlock can be hit or miss
    • Only one side is weather-rated, a problem for exposed gates

    Why it ranks
    Passcode, voice, physical key and phone all unlock it, and built-in Wi-Fi with Matter links it to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings. A settable auto-lock timer locks up behind you when your hands are full.
    What people praise
    • Unlocks by passcode, voice, key or phone
    • Works with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa
    • Auto-lock timer can be set to suit

    Why it ranks
    Swapping it in for a standard deadbolt is an easy do-it-yourself job that needs no drilling. Batteries may run low within two months, cutting off Wi-Fi, and the app can fail to find the lock during setup.
    What people praise
    • Easy to install as a deadbolt replacement
    • No drilling needed on most standard deadbolts
    Common complaints
    • Batteries can run low within two months
    • App may not find the lock during setup

    Why it ranks
    Ultra-wideband walk-up unlock opens the door hands-free, and it swaps in for an existing deadbolt in minutes before joining Apple Home and Home Assistant over Matter. Thread pairing can fail, approach unlock may lag at times, and there is no backup key.
    What people praise
    • Walk-up unlock works hands-free
    • Installs in about five minutes
    • Joins Apple Home and Home Assistant via Matter
    Common complaints
    • Thread pairing can fail to finish

    Auto-lock works well and can be customized, and the fingerprint scanner is placed for easy reach. It responds quickly over Thread, can trigger home automations on unlock, and can be used on outdoor doors in harsh weather.

    Why it ranks
    Passing for an ordinary, non-smart deadbolt, it still joins several smart home platforms through Matter over Thread. Fitting can mean drilling a larger hole or adding spacers, and the door-status sensor works only in the maker's app, not in Apple Home.
    What people praise
    • Looks like a regular, non-smart lock
    • Matter over Thread and Apple Home Key perform well
    • Build has a premium feel
    Common complaints
    • Fitting can mean drilling a larger hole in the door
    • Door sensor does not show in Apple Home

    Why it ranks
    A thinned-out body sits slimmer on the door and responds almost instantly, but remote access runs through a Wi-Fi bridge that can refuse to connect even a few feet away. Included batteries may die within weeks, and auto-lock can stop working.
    What people praise
    • Slim, thinned-out body on the door
    • Responds almost instantly to a tap

    Why it ranks
    Firmware updates can knock it offline, sometimes needing daily base station reboots, and Wi-Fi setup may not find a 2.4 GHz network. Auto-lock runs only on a timer, and a status light shows the lock state to the hallway with no off switch.
    Common complaints
    • Updates can leave it offline or unresponsive
    • Status light shows lock state, with no off switch

How this list is ranked

Back to top
Who is eligible
Every smart lock in our reviewed catalogue is included, from full deadbolt replacements to retrofit locks. Second listings of the same lock are left out. The list opens on current models, those released in the last 2½ years (since Apr 2024); choose Include older models under Models to list them too. A product without a release date on record is always listed.
How they are ordered
By default, products are ordered by Ranking Net Score: points from reviews and discussions plus points from votes on BettaScore. Ties go to the product with more sources. Filtering or sorting renumbers the results from No. 1. Products without scored evidence stay Unranked and are not numbered.
Where the evidence comes from
70 public review sources across the matching products. Select a review topic on any card to see the quotes behind its points.
When it changes
The product list and review scores change only when we publish a reviewed update. Signed-in visitors can vote on each review topic (open a topic on a card): every vote adds or takes 0.1 points from that topic and from the Ranking Net Score straight away, and the order follows on the next page load. Votes are stored apart from review evidence, so they carry over between updates. Review evidence is from October 7, 2026.
Who pays for it
Nobody. BettaScore does not accept payment for placement. Each card shows review points and topic-vote points separately, even though their sum sets the default order.

What to look for in a smart lock

Back to top

Start with your door: whether the lock replaces your deadbolt or fits over the one you have, and how you want to unlock it, by phone, keypad, fingerprint or key. Check that it works with your phone and smart home system.

Then compare what the evidence says about installation, how reliably it unlocks and locks itself, battery life, and the app.

Questions to take to every card on this page

  • Does it fit your door and deadbolt?
  • Which ways of unlocking do you need?
  • How long do the batteries last, and is there a backup way in?
  • Does it work with your phone and smart home system?

Frequently asked questions

Back to top
What does this smart lock list cover?
All reviewed smart locks in our catalogue. Products with scored review evidence get a rank; the rest stay on the list, marked Unranked.
How is the default order calculated?
Ranking Net Score adds points from reviews and discussions to points from BettaScore votes, and each card shows both parts. A vote counts right away: it updates the card and can move the product in the list.
How do filters and sorting affect rank?
They apply to the whole list and renumber the results: scored matches start from No. 1, and products without scored review evidence stay Unranked. Filtering and sorting never change a product's review or vote points.
Why are some specifications missing?
BettaScore shows only the facts it has on record. An unknown value is not treated as No, and we never fill a missing specification or evidence section with a made-up claim.
Where do the Fits, Works with, Connects by and Unlock with filters come from?
From each maker's own product and support pages, checked lock by lock, not from whether a review happened to mention them. A platform or unlock method the maker does not name is simply not listed for that lock.
