    Why it ranks
    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
    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
    • Works with the current deadbolt and keys
    • Apple Watch unlock, plus PIN, fingerprint and NFC via keypad
    • An add-on hub brings Matter, Apple Home and remote access

    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.
    What people praise
    • Recognizes fingerprints quickly
    • Step-by-step install guidance, no expertise needed
    • Solid zinc alloy build
    Common complaints
    • Battery can last about four months, not the advertised year

    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
    • Temporary or lasting access for pet sitters and guests
    Common complaints
    • Bolt can catch partway and jam
    • Guests need the app to use shared keys

    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

    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

    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.
    What people praise
    • Installation is simple and straightforward
    • Privacy mode disables all PIN codes
    • Sounds an alert when it fails to lock
    Common complaints
    • Touchscreen can take a couple of touches

    A responsive 360-degree fingerprint sensor pairs with a backlit keypad that supports anti-peep codes, and installation can take under 20 minutes. Wi-Fi can be unreliable enough to break remote access, and the auto-lock timer may not work as expected.
    What people praise
    • Responsive 360-degree fingerprint sensor
    • Backlit keypad with anti-peep code entry
    • Installs in 15 to 20 minutes, even for a first-timer

    Why it ranks
    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.
    What people praise
    • One press of the lock button locks it
    • Codes are easy to set yourself
    • Holds up to repeated use

    A fast fingerprint reader and scheduled, permanent or one-time access for family and guests cover daily use, and USB-C can power it when batteries die. The outdoor number pad can stop lighting up, and Wi-Fi may not reconnect after a power outage.

    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.

    Remote checking and control from the app mean no keys to carry, and separate passcodes can be set for each person in the home. The touchscreen keypad, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a physical key all open it.

    A responsive keypad with a matte, smudge-resistant finish and app-guided installation with short videos make setup and daily use easy, and Z-Wave modules pair cleanly with Home Assistant. There is no fingerprint reader or scrambled-code entry, and the lock can go unresponsive at random.

    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

    Apple Home Key tap-to-unlock works smoothly, keypad codes can be managed in the Apple Home app, and the battery can last a long time on Thread. On Wi-Fi the battery can drain quickly, and a firmware update can break HomeKit control.

    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.

    Installation is easy and the app walks through a thorough setup, covering the basics of a keypad deadbolt with Wi-Fi. The outside unit has no protective cover, so it may be exposed to rain and weather on an unsheltered door.

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
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

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.
