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.

Why it ranks
Fits over the existing deadbolt without replacing it, so the current keys still work, and an add-on keypad brings PIN, fingerprint and NFC entry. The unit sits bulky on the door, and Apple Home Key is not supported yet.
What people praise

Why it ranks
Fast fingerprint recognition and step-by-step guidance that makes installation easy without expert help are the strengths. The rechargeable battery can run down in about four months rather than the advertised year, and a spare pack may not be sold separately.

Why it ranks
Hidden inside the existing deadbolt, it leaves the door's look and current keys unchanged while adding phone and Apple Home control. Without built-in Wi-Fi, remote access needs a hub, and the bolt can catch partway through a turn and jam.
What people praise
Disappears inside the door, keeping its look
Keeps the existing deadbolt and keys

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.

Why it ranks
A keyless touchscreen deadbolt that installs with a screwdriver, it has a privacy mode that shuts off every PIN code while you are home. The touchscreen may need a second touch, and pairing with Google Home through Matter can fail at the last step.

A one-press lock button and four- to six-digit codes you set yourself keep this keypad deadbolt simple, and a first install can take 20 to 60 minutes. The metal finish feels sturdy, though its looks trail Yale and Schlage alternatives.

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.

Fingerprint, keypad, app and physical key all open it, though the fingerprint reader may take a couple of tries with wet or dirty fingers. Wi-Fi can drain the batteries in three to four months, and locking from outside can misfire.

How this list is ranked

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: 184 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

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?
