Buying advice
What to look for in a smart lock
These factors change which model suits you.
First, know which lock type you have
Consumer smart locks are mostly built for a single-cylinder deadbolt. If you have a mortise, multipoint or interconnected lock, you need different hardware.
A retrofit leaves your exterior as it is
A motor mounted inside keeps the keyway and suits renters, though keypad entry may mean buying a separate accessory.
Each platform logo promises something different
Matter, Apple Home, Home Key, Alexa and Google Home each cover a different set of capabilities.
Pick how you will enter day to day
Each of a fingerprint reader, a code and a phone tap suits a different household routine.
Radio choice drives battery life
A lock that connects straight to Wi-Fi typically drains batteries faster than a low-energy lock behind a hub.
Plan for when it fails
Settle on a fallback before you rely on it: the key, emergency power or a way in from inside.
