The best smart locks for 2025

Best Products

Get straight to the top tech—no junk, just the best.

The best smart locks make it easy to keep your home safe and secure. Along with giving you access to a digital keypad (negating the need to carry around a physical key), many of them let you check their status remotely or browse their usage history — letting you know exactly when they were last opened or closed. They’re a pretty nifty piece of hardware, and adding one to your front door is an easy way to upgrade your smart home.

Smart locks come in a variety of formats. Most use a digital keypad, allowing you to program in passcodes that can be either permanent or temporary (the latter of which is great for dishing out codes to guests). Others are sleek devices controlled almost entirely by your smartphone, a choice popular with Airbnb hosts. Others still might use Apple Home Keys or sync with Matter, giving you the option to sync the smart lock with the rest of your smart home.

The number of options on the market today is truly staggering, which can make it challenging to find the right one for your needs. Unsure where to start? Here are the best smart locks of 2025 to help you get started. Most of these products are from reliable brands like Yale, August, Wyze, and Lockly — so if none of these catch your eye, be sure to check out the rest of their catalogs. But for most people, the wonderful Yale Assure Lock 2 will probably be the ideal smart lock.

Yale Assure Lock 2

Yale knows how to make a great lock, and the Assure Lock 2 proves it. Available in a wide variety of formats (including lockless and touchscreen), there are plenty of ways to customize this unique device.

One of the best formats includes a module that lets you access the door remotely, giving you peace of mind that you locked up before leaving for work. You can also create temporary passwords for guests, check out the activity history to see when it was last opened, or remotely open the door for a friend who is locked out.

But most importantly, it looks stunning – with premium materials and a slim design offering a decidedly modern aesthetic. It’s also one of the few smart locks with a flash red variant, as the Yale x Pantone model in Viva Magenta brings a maximalist flair to your front door.

If you’re an Apple user, you can spring for the , which offers Apple Home Key support. This allows you to use either or iPhone or Apple Watch to open the door without needing to enter your passcode. It costs a bit more (the Wi-Fi model is $290), but no doubt it’s a cool feature.

Wyze Lock Bolt

The Wyze Lock Bolt is shockingly affordable, costing a fraction of most other smart locks on this list. It does make a few sacrifices to hit that rock-bottom price — but if you’re looking for a simple smart lock that won’t break your budget, it’s hard to pass up this nifty gadget from Wyze.

Let’s get the bad out of the way first. The Wyze Lock Bolt doesn’t offer Wi-Fi support. That means you’ll need to be close to your door to access its functionality on your phone. If you pair the lock with the Wyze Video Doorbell Pro you’ll gain back a few remote functions, but as a standalone device it lacks the long-range support found on something like the Yale Assure Lock 2. It also doesn’t sync with Alexa or Google, so your automation options will be limited.

If you can look beyond those two shortcomings, however, you’ll find the Wyze Lock Bolt to be an excellent product. With features like an auto-lock timer, fingerprint scanner for quick entry, and a 12-month battery life, it’s a great companion for your front door. It’s also available in two different colors, and a backlit keypad ensures you know what buttons you’re pressing even in the dead of night. Be sure to give it a closer look if you’re shopping on a budget.

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock

The fourth-generation August Smart Lock breaks free from the bonds of its predecessors’ need for a bridge to operate remotely. Thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi connection, the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock connects to your home’s wireless network without the need for a bridge or other additional hardware.

Beyond that, it’s one of the simplest smart locks to install and set up. Plus, it’s able to retain your existing lock — so you don’t need new keys. What’s impressive is that the company adds in the Wi-Fi connection, while shrinking the overall size of the lock. It is 45% smaller in volume and 20% slimmer, making it a sleek little lock, and comes in either silver or matte black plastic.

In addition to using the app to remotely operate the lock, the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple’s Siri. Meaning that it integrates nicely with just about any smart home platform. There are also some advanced features that make it a premier offering, like virtual keys that work on a set schedule, and automatic lock/unlock as you approach or leave your home.

Lockly Vision Zeno

The Lockly Vision Zeno is a wild piece of engineering. It serves as a smart lock, offering access via a secure keypad, fingerprint scanner, Apple Home Keys, and physical keyhole. It serves as a video doorbell, thanks to an integrated 2K camera and intercom. And despite all this tech, it gets up to eight months of battery life on a single charge — and since it comes with two rechargeable batteries, you can simply swap them out for no downtime.

That’s a lot of firepower compared to other smart locks. Shoppers seeking a cutting-edge device that effectively serves as a smart lock and video doorbell can stop their search here, as the Lockly Vision Zeno is as good as it gets.

However, it’s not without a few quirks. The device is quite expensive at over $400. It’s also not the most eye-catching device on the planet. Packing in all those features has resulted in a somewhat clunky device, though it certainly looks better than the old Lockly Vision Elite. So if you don’t mind giving up a bit of style for heaps of functionality, this is the smart lock for you.

Lockly Flex Touch

If you’re a fan of smart locks but wish they had a more traditional appearance, consider checking out the Lockly Flex Touch. This smart home gadget forgoes the large touchscreen pads found on most smart locks, and instead uses a small fingerprint sensor to let you quickly and securely open (or lock) your front door.

You can also access the lock via Bluetooth using a smartphone app, which lets you track its history or set up unique user profiles for each member of your home.

Toss in support for traditional keys and the ability to power the unit with a 9V battery if it dies while you’re on vacation, and there’s a good chance the Lockly Flex Touch is a great fit for your home.
