Schlage Encode Plus Review: Apple's Lock
Tap your Apple Watch, hear the bolt thunk, walk in. For iPhone households, this is the smart lock to buy. Here's why, and who should skip it.
August Wi-Fi Smart Lock Review: Renter's Best Friend
It clamps onto the deadbolt you already have, leaves the outside of your door alone, and finally looks good doing it. The catch: no keypad, no Home Key.
Aqara Smart Lock U200 Review: Most for the Money
Fingerprint, Home Key, code, NFC, app: every unlock method that matters, plus Matter, for less than the Schlage. The trade-off is a fussier setup.
Yale Assure Lock 2 Review: Build Your Own
Keypad or touchscreen, keyed or keyless, Wi-Fi or not. Yale lets you spec the lock your door needs. Just watch how fast the price climbs.
Level Lock+ Review: The Invisible Lock
From the street it's just your normal deadbolt. That invisibility is the entire pitch, and you'll pay $329 for it. Here's whether it's worth it.
Lockly Vision Elite Review: Three Gadgets, One Door
One hole in your door instead of three. The fingerprint reader is fast and the battery is huge, but the doorbell is merely okay.
Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro Review: Budget Do-It-All
Fingerprint, code, app, key, auto-unlock and knock-to-open, all for half a flagship's price. The one catch is what it takes to go online.
eufy Smart Lock E30 Review: Budget Matter
One of the few cheap locks with Wi-Fi and Matter, and easily the best-looking. The vertical fingerprint sensor is the thing to watch.
SwitchBot Lock Pro Review: $100 and Keep Your Keys
The cheapest legitimate way to make a deadbolt smart. Brutalist looks and hub add-ons are the price of that low price.
Wyze Lock Bolt Review: $80 Keyless Entry
Not a connected lock, just a cheap, fast keyless deadbolt. Know that going in and it's a phenomenal $80.
