‘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.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
