‘Smart lock’ broadly refers to door locks with unlocking mechanisms that don’t require a keyhole. This includes PIN access, biometrics such as fingerprint scanning, smartphone apps, geofencing and more.

Our experts test smart locks that offer Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity to find out:

  • which models are easiest to install and use
  • which are the fastest to unlock using primary and secondary methods of entry
  • the unlock range for Bluetooth models.

We also consider any security and privacy points raised during testing.
