In this video, I’m breaking down five of the best electronic deadbolts and smart door locks you can buy right now, and I’m focusing on what actually matters in real use—security ratings, install/setup, speed, app control, and how well each lock fits into a smart home. I also dropped the links in the description so you can quickly check the current price and see which option fits your budget range. I start with the Schlage Encode Smart Wi‑Fi Deadbolt because it scored high across the board in testing, gives you an ANSI Grade 1 build, and keeps things super simple—no hub needed, solid app controls, activity logs, and up to 100 access codes. Then I cover the Kwikset Halo Touch for people who want fingerprint access and fast performance, plus an install process that’s clearly labeled and easy to follow. I also include the Eufy Security Smart Lock Touch as a lower-cost, feature-packed option that can tie into other Eufy devices, but I did notice inconsistent performance and a weaker motor in testing. To round it out, I talk about the Yale Assure Lock 2 for maximum ways to unlock (including auto entry and a door sensor that prevents accidental locking), and the Kwikset SmartCode as a more affordable, upscale-looking keypad lock with strong security and useful code features like one-time codes.
