Smart locks with keypad entry let you open a door with a code, while some models add fingerprint access or app control. My best overall pick is the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt for buyers who want keypad access with built-in Wi-Fi; the eufy Security Smart Lock C220 stands out for fingerprint entry, while the TEEHO TE001 offers a simpler keypad deadbolt format. The main tradeoffs are deadbolt versus lever or knob designs, connected features versus simpler code entry, and added access methods versus setup and upkeep. Door compatibility and the exact hardware included also matter, especially when a lock is sold with a handle. Read on for the full breakdown and help matching a lock to your door and routine.

Key Takeaways
Deadbolt designs lead this lineup for buyers replacing a standard deadbolt: Schlage Encode, eufy C220, and Philips keypad deadbolts keep the lock format distinct from lever and knob replacements.
Built-in Wi-Fi sets the connected picks apart: Schlage Encode and the Philips 4200 Wi-Fi models suit buyers seeking app access without treating every keypad lock as a connected lock.
Fingerprint access is a separate priority, not a default advantage: eufy C220, Philips fingerprint models, Yamiry, and Veise VE017 add another way in, but buyers should compare that convenience against a keypad-only model’s simpler setup.
Finish variants do not change the underlying model choice: TEEHO TE001 and Veise VE017 each appear in two finishes, so choose between them by lock features and door fit first, then select the finish.
Lever and knob locks solve different replacement jobs: Kwikset SmartCode 917 and 955, plus the Yamiry keypad knobs, are aimed at buyers replacing door hardware rather than only a deadbolt.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Philips 4200 Series Wi-Fi Smart Door Lock with Handle, Fingerprint and Keypad, Satin Nickel
I’d put this Philips first for buyers who want keypad entry alongside remote control without adding a separate hub. Its 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection supports app access, entry history, and Alexa or Google Assistant commands, while fingerprint entry gives household members another quick way in. The matching handle set also makes it a more complete door-hardware choice than the TEEHO TE001, which is a keypad deadbolt with backup keys but no app-based remote access. The tradeoff is a greater reliance on setup and power: Philips calls for a compatible 2.4 GHz network and eight AA batteries, not included. I’d also check the door thickness before choosing it. It suits a connected household, but is more lock than needed if you only want local keypad codes.
Pros:- Connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi without a separate hub for app control.
- Offers fingerprint, PIN, app, and voice-assistant unlocking.
- Provides access history and adjustable auto-lock timing.
- Includes matching door levers and installation hardware.
Cons:- Requires eight AA alkaline batteries, which are not included.
- Only fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick.
- Requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Best for: Households that want remote app control, access history, fingerprint entry, and a matching handle set without buying a separate hub.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a 5 GHz-only network, doors outside the stated thickness range, or anyone seeking a simple keypad deadbolt with fewer batteries.
- Model:DDL242X-1HW
- Connectivity:2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; no hub required
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, PIN code, app, voice assistant
- Auto-lock delay:0–180 seconds
- Compatible door thickness:1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches (38–50 mm)
- Power:8 AA alkaline batteries, not included
- Finish:Satin nickel
- Included components:Door levers, latch assembly, mounting hardware, smart lock, user manual
Our verdict“Choose the Philips if direct Wi-Fi remote control and a complete keypad-and-handle setup matter more than minimizing batteries or features.”
Yamiry Smart Door Lock with Fingerprint Keypad
The Yamiry YR01 is the most flexible choice here for households that want several ways to get inside: fingerprint, passcode, key fob, mechanical key, and Bluetooth app access are all listed. Its reversible handle helps with left- or right-handed doors, and the app can manage permanent and temporary users. Compared with the Philips 4200 Series, Yamiry includes key fobs and mechanical keys, but it does not provide remote control or Alexa unlocking on its own; those features require a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway. That makes this a better fit for varied household routines than for someone who wants straightforward remote access out of the box. I’d choose it for a door that needs multiple credential types, while buyers seeking direct Wi-Fi control should favor the Philips.
Pros:- Combines fingerprint, passcode, Bluetooth app, key fob, and mechanical-key entry.
- Supports temporary and permanent access codes through the app.
- Reversible handle accommodates left- or right-handed doors.
- Includes two key fobs and two mechanical keys.
Cons:- Remote control and Alexa unlocking require a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway.
- Compatibility is described for most standard American wooden doors, so unusual door setups may not fit.
- Remote features depend on an additional device rather than the lock alone.
Best for: Households with children, guests, or caregivers who benefit from choosing among fingerprint, code, fob, key, and local app access.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want remote unlocking or Alexa access without purchasing and setting up an additional Wi-Fi gateway.
- Model:YR01
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, Bluetooth app, passcode, key fob, mechanical key, Alexa
- Wi-Fi gateway:Required for remote control and Alexa unlock; sold separately
- Installation:Designed for most standard American wooden doors; screwdriver installation
- Handle:Reversible for left- or right-handed doors
- Included access accessories:2 key fobs and 2 mechanical keys
- Included components:Exterior assembly, interior assembly, 2 key fobs, 2 mechanical keys, screw set, adjustable latch
- Recommended use:Indoor and exterior doors
Our verdict“Pick the Yamiry YR01 if your household will use its mix of credentials, but choose the Philips 4200 Series for built-in Wi-Fi remote access.”
TEEHO TE001 Keyless Entry Deadbolt with Keypad, Satin Nickel
I’d choose the satin nickel TEEHO TE001 when the priority is dependable keypad access without app setup or a gateway. It stores up to 20 user codes and adds a one-time guest code, giving families and occasional visitors separate entry options. The anti-peep feature lets a user enter extra digits around the PIN, while one-touch locking and configurable auto-lock address the everyday habit of leaving the door unsecured. Compared with the Yamiry YR01, the TEEHO has fewer ways to unlock and no app management, but its simpler, local setup avoids gateway dependence. Its IP54 weather resistance is useful for exposed entry points, though the lock only fits 2-1/8-inch door holes and needs four AA batteries. I’d skip it if remote logs or fingerprint entry are must-haves.
Pros:- Stores up to 20 user codes plus a one-time guest code.
- Offers one-touch locking and configurable auto-lock.
- Includes anti-peep code protection and IP54 weather resistance.
- Comes with two backup keys and screwdriver-based installation.
Cons:- Requires four AA batteries, which are not included.
- Fits 2-1/8-inch (54 mm) door holes and is not compatible with 38 mm holes.
- Must be reset before first use to detect door handing.
Best for: Families and landlords who want multiple keypad codes, a temporary guest PIN, and a straightforward deadbolt without app or hub requirements.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need remote access, entry logs, fingerprint unlocking, or compatibility with 38 mm door holes.
- Model:TE001
- Finish:Satin nickel
- Access codes:Up to 20 user codes plus a one-time code
- Auto-lock delay:10–99 seconds; off by default
- Power:4 AA batteries, not included
- Battery life:Up to 365 days
- Weather resistance:IP54
- Door hole compatibility:2-1/8 in (54 mm); not compatible with 38 mm holes
- Included components:2 backup keys, installation and programming instructions, latch, strike plate
Our verdict“Choose this TEEHO if you want a weather-resistant keypad deadbolt with guest codes and no smart-home setup.”
TEEHO TE001 Keyless Entry Deadbolt with Keypad, Matte Black
This matte black TE001 makes the most sense when you want the TEEHO’s practical keypad functions in a darker finish. Like the satin nickel TE001, it supports 20 user codes and a one-time guest code, plus one-touch locking, configurable auto-lock, and anti-peep code entry. The code deletes itself after use, which is handy for a short-term visitor without leaving an active PIN behind. Compared with the Veise VE017, this TEEHO does not add fingerprints, app logs, or multiple credential types; in return, it avoids app and gateway setup. That simplicity comes with a fit check: it requires a 2-1/8-inch door hole and is not compatible with 38 mm holes. Auto-lock is also off by default, so I’d configure it rather than assume it will engage.
Pros:- Stores up to 20 user codes and a self-deleting one-time guest code.
- Provides one-touch locking, configurable auto-lock, and anti-peep code entry.
- IP54 weather resistance suits doors exposed to the elements.
- Includes two backup keys and is designed for screwdriver installation.
Cons:- Requires four AA batteries, which are not included.
- Only fits 2-1/8-inch (54 mm) door holes, not 38 mm holes.
- Auto-lock is off by default and must be configured.
Best for: Buyers matching dark door hardware who want guest PINs and basic keypad operation without app-managed access.
Not ideal for: Households that need fingerprint access, activity logs, remote control, or a lock that fits a 38 mm door hole.
- Model:TE001
- Color:Matte black
- Access codes:20 user codes and one-time guest code
- Auto-lock timer:10–99 seconds; off by default
- Power:4 AA batteries, not included
- Battery life:Up to 365 days
- Weather resistance:IP54
- Door hole compatibility:2-1/8 in (54 mm); not compatible with 38 mm holes
- Included components:2 SC1 backup keys, instructions, latch, strike plate, keypad deadbolt
Our verdict“Choose the matte black TE001 for simple guest-code keypad access that coordinates with dark hardware, not for app or biometric features.”
Veise VE017 Fingerprint Smart Door Lock with App Control, Satin Nickel
The Veise VE017 is the strongest fit here for buyers who want keypad entry as part of a broader access system. It combines codes with fingerprint, app, fob card, shared code, and mechanical-key access, while the KK Home app manages permissions and entry logs. Its AES-128 encrypted on-lock data storage and USB-C emergency power port address two practical concerns: protecting credentials and getting power to the lock if its batteries run down. Compared with the Philips 4200 Series, Veise uses four AA batteries rather than eight, but remote access and voice assistant control require a separately sold G1 Gateway; Philips connects directly to Wi-Fi. I’d favor Veise for varied users and local credential management, but not for buyers who expect full remote features from the lock alone.
Pros:- Combines fingerprint, keypad, app, fob card, shared code, and mechanical-key access.
- Manages user permissions and entry activity logs through the KK Home app.
- Stores access data on the lock with AES-128 encryption.
- Includes a USB-C emergency power port and IP55 water resistance.
Cons:- Four AA batteries and the G1 Gateway are sold separately.
- Remote access and voice assistant integration require the optional gateway.
- Battery life varies with use, and the listed warranty is one year with a registration extension.
Best for: Households or small rental hosts who want fingerprint and keypad entry, app-managed permissions, and entry logs, with gateway features as an optional addition.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want remote access or Alexa and Google Assistant without a separate gateway, or who prefer a lock with a longer warranty.
- Model:VE017
- Finish:Satin nickel
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, app, authorized access, fob card, code, shared code, voice assistant with G1 Gateway, mechanical key
- Fingerprint recognition:Under 0.2 seconds; claimed 99.99% accuracy
- Auto-lock delay:0–180 seconds
- Data security:AES-128 encryption; data stored on the lock
- Power and claimed battery life:4 AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, not included; about 12 months, varies with usage
- Emergency power:USB-C port
- Water resistance and warranty:IP55; 1-year limited warranty, with a free 1-year extension after registration
Our verdict“Choose the Veise VE017 for biometric and keypad access with app-managed users, but pick the Philips 4200 Series if built-in Wi-Fi remote control is your priority.”
Yamiry Keyless Entry Smart Door Knob with Keypad
I’d pick the Yamiry YR04 for a door where straightforward code entry matters more than remote control. Its backlit keypad supports up to 20 user codes, and one-time guest codes can give visitors access without handing over a permanent credential. The adjustable auto-lock can be set from 5 to 99 seconds—or disabled—so it suits households that want control over when the knob relocks. Compared with the Yamiry YR05, this model is simpler: it skips fingerprint, key-fob, and app entry, but also avoids dependence on Bluetooth or a separately purchased gateway. The tradeoff is limited flexibility for managing access remotely; there’s no Wi-Fi or app control listed. I’d also choose a deadbolt such as the Schlage Encode if a deadbolt format and activity history are priorities.
Pros:- Stores up to 20 user codes and supports one-time guest codes
- Backlit keypad and low-battery indicator help with night use and upkeep
- Adjustable auto-lock timing can be set from 5 to 99 seconds or disabled
- Includes two physical backup keys
Cons:- No Wi-Fi or app control is listed, so access cannot be managed remotely
- Entry depends on the keypad or a physical key
- Provides a knob format rather than a deadbolt
Best for: Households that want keypad access and guest codes on an interior or secondary entry door without app setup.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need remote locking, app-managed access, fingerprint entry, or a deadbolt rather than a door knob.
- Model:YR04
- Lock type:Keypad door knob
- Material:Aluminum alloy
- User codes:Up to 20
- Code length:4–8 digits
- Backup keys:2
- Auto-lock timing:5–99 seconds; can be disabled
- Weather resistance:IP54
Our verdict“Choose the YR04 for uncomplicated keypad-and-key entry with guest codes, but skip it if you want app control or fingerprint access.”
Philips 4200 Series Wi-Fi Keypad Deadbolt with Handle
The Philips 4200 Series makes sense for buyers replacing both a deadbolt and handle: the matching levers are included, and keypad access sits alongside fingerprint, app, and voice-assistant entry. Its direct 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection means there’s no separate hub to add, while app access history can help a household track who entered. Compared with the eufy Security C220, Philips includes a handle set and lists a fast 0.3-second fingerprint unlock, while eufy offers Apple Watch access and includes batteries. This Philips lock’s auto-lock is off by default, so the owner must enable it in the app, and its Wi-Fi guidance calls for placement within 33 feet of the router. I’d pass if the entry door is outside that range or if buying batteries separately is inconvenient.
Pros:- Connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi without a separate hub
- Combines fingerprint, PIN, app, and voice-assistant unlocking
- Includes two matching door levers and installation hardware
- App provides remote status checks and access history
Cons:- Batteries are not included
- Auto-lock must be enabled manually and is off by default
- Wi-Fi guidance calls for placement within 33 feet of the router
Best for: Homeowners replacing a deadbolt and handle together who want keypad, fingerprint, and remote app entry without a hub.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a distant router, a door outside the listed thickness range, or a preference for included batteries and auto-lock enabled by default.
- Model:DDL242X-1HW-L
- Connectivity:2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; no hub required
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, PIN code, app, voice assistant
- Fingerprint unlock speed:0.3 seconds
- Auto-lock delay:0–180 seconds; off by default
- Battery life:Up to 6 months
- Batteries:Not included; standard 1.5 V alkaline batteries
- Compatible door thickness:1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches (38–50 mm)
Our verdict“Choose this Philips set when you want a connected keypad deadbolt and matching handle in one package, provided your router is nearby.”
eufy Security Smart Lock C220 Fingerprint Deadbolt
I’d shortlist the eufy Security C220 for a busy household that wants a keypad as one of several ways through the door, not the only one. It pairs PIN entry with a fingerprint reader, app, physical key, Apple Watch, and voice assistants; built-in Wi-Fi also supports remote control without a bridge. That gives it broader entry flexibility than the keypad-focused Yamiry YR04, while the included eight AA batteries mean it arrives ready to power up. The battery estimate is up to eight months but varies with use, and the eight-cell requirement is a practical upkeep commitment. Its IP53 rating and BHMA Grade 3 certification add useful stated durability and security credentials, but buyers seeking a handle set should look at the Philips 4200 Series instead; the C220 is a deadbolt.
Pros:- Offers fingerprint, keypad, app, key, Apple Watch, and voice-assistant entry
- Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote control without a separate bridge
- Includes eight AA batteries and two physical keys
- IP53 water resistance and BHMA Grade 3 certification are specified
Cons:- Requires eight AA batteries, and actual battery life varies with use
- Deadbolt-only format does not include a matching handle set
Best for: Families who want several convenient entry methods, remote app access, and compatibility with Apple Watch or voice assistants.
Not ideal for: Buyers replacing a full lock-and-handle set or those who want a lock with a lower battery-cell count.
- Model:C220 (T8506)
- Lock type:Deadbolt
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, app, keypad, physical key, Apple Watch, Alexa, Google Assistant
- Connectivity:Built-in Wi-Fi
- Battery:8 AA batteries; up to 8 months, depending on use
- Water resistance:IP53
- Security certification:BHMA Grade 3
- Operating temperature:-22°F to 158°F (-30°C to 70°C)
Our verdict“Choose the C220 if you want a keypad deadbolt with a wide choice of entry methods and built-in remote access.”
Yamiry YR05 Fingerprint Keyless Smart Door Knob Lock
The Yamiry YR05 adds more ways to open a knob lock without moving to a deadbolt: users can choose a password, fingerprint, key fob, physical key, or Bluetooth app. Its capacity for up to 50 passwords and fingerprints gives larger households more room to assign individual credentials than the YR04, which supports up to 20 user codes. The convenience comes with a connectivity limit: Bluetooth app control is local, while remote access requires a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway. That makes it less ready for remote management than the eufy C220, which has built-in Wi-Fi, and it remains a knob rather than a deadbolt. I’d favor the YR05 for households who value fingerprint and fob entry at the door itself, but not for buyers who expect remote control out of the box.
Pros:- Five listed entry methods include app, password, fingerprint, key fob, and physical key
- Stores up to 50 passwords and fingerprints
- Includes two physical keys and two key fobs
- Designed for screwdriver installation on most American standard doors
Cons:- Remote access requires a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway
- Bluetooth app control does not provide the listed remote access on its own
- Knob format may not suit buyers looking specifically for a deadbolt
Best for: Households seeking fingerprint, PIN, and key-fob entry on a standard door knob, with enough credential capacity for multiple users.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need remote access without extra hardware or prefer a deadbolt with built-in Wi-Fi.
- Model:YR05
- Material and finish:Aluminum; brushed matte black
- Unlock methods:App, password, fingerprint, key fob, physical key
- Capacity:Up to 50 passwords and fingerprints
- Connectivity:Bluetooth; remote access requires a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway
- Door compatibility:Most American standard doors
- Included keys and fobs:2 physical keys and 2 key fobs
- Dimensions:5.62 x 2.69 x 3 inches
Our verdict“Choose the YR05 for local fingerprint and fob convenience with high credential capacity, but look elsewhere for built-in remote access.”
Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt with Century Trim, Matte Black
For households that assign codes to many people, the Schlage Encode stands out with capacity for up to 100 access codes and app-based activity history. Its built-in Wi-Fi supports remote locking and unlocking without a separate hub, while the touchscreen keypad keeps code entry central to the experience. Compared with the Philips 4200 Series, Schlage’s clear advantage is its larger stated code capacity; Philips adds fingerprint entry and comes with a matching handle set. The Encode instead includes a built-in alarm and a physical backup key, though it uses four AA batteries with a listed life of up to six months under typical use. I’d choose it for keypad-led access management, but skip it if biometric entry or a handle set in the box matters more than code capacity.
Pros:- Supports up to 100 access codes
- Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote control and app activity history
- Touchscreen keypad is paired with a built-in alarm and physical backup key
- Includes four AA batteries and installs without hardwiring
Cons:- Battery life is listed at up to six months under typical use
- Remote features require a secure Wi-Fi connection and the app
- Does not list fingerprint entry or include a matching handle set
Best for: Households, rental hosts, or small offices that need many distinct access codes and remote lock activity checks.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want fingerprint unlocking, a matching handle set, or a lock that does not depend on Wi-Fi for remote features.
- Model:BE489WBCEN622
- Trim and finish:Century; matte black
- Connectivity:Built-in Wi-Fi
- Access codes:Up to 100
- Door thickness:1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches
- Backset:2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches
- Power:Four AA batteries, included
- Voice assistants:Alexa and Google Home
Our verdict“Choose the Schlage Encode when high code capacity and app activity history matter more than fingerprint entry or an included handle.”
Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt Lock with Fingerprint and Keyless Entry
The Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt is a strong fit for households that want a keypad without making it the only convenient way in. It adds fingerprint entry, app access, a physical key, and voice control, while built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi allows remote management without a separate hub. Its capacity for 100 passcodes, including scheduled and one-time codes, also suits homes that regularly share access. Compared with the Kwikset SmartCode 917, this Philips model offers remote features and more entry methods, but it needs AA batteries that are not included and has no door sensor to confirm whether the door is closed. Buyers should also check their Wi-Fi band before choosing it.
Pros:- Combines keypad codes with fingerprint, app, physical-key, and voice-assistant access
- Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi provides remote access without an additional hub
- Stores up to 100 passcodes and supports one-time or scheduled guest codes
- Includes activity alerts, access history, auto-lock, and Away Mode
Cons:- AA alkaline batteries are not included
- Supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only
- No door sensor is included
Best for: Households that want fingerprint entry, remote code management, and temporary passcodes for guests or service providers.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a door-open sensor, use only 5 GHz Wi-Fi, or want a lock that arrives with batteries included.
- Unlock methods:App, passcode, fingerprint, physical key, Alexa, or Google Assistant
- Wi-Fi:Built-in 2.4 GHz; no hub required
- Maximum passcodes:100
- Auto-lock delay:10–180 seconds
- Door thickness:1⅜–2 in (38–50 mm)
- Battery type:AA alkaline (LR6), not included
- Door sensor:Not included
Our verdict“Choose this Philips if you want a keypad deadbolt with fingerprint access and remote code control, and can accept the missing door sensor.”
Kwikset SmartCode 917 Contemporary Keypad Door Lever with Halifax Handle
The Kwikset SmartCode 917 is a practical pick for buyers who want a keypad lever and straightforward control rather than app-based smart-home features. Its 30 customizable codes can separate access for household members, while Auto Lock and Passage modes cover the common choice between securing the entry and leaving it unlocked during busy periods. Unlike the Wi-Fi-enabled Schlage Encode, this model does not offer remote access or app-managed codes; the upside is a simpler, self-contained setup. The included 9V battery and reversible handing help with installation, but buyers still need to verify door measurements. Its electronics warranty is one year, shorter than the lifetime mechanical and finish coverage.
Pros:- Stores up to 30 customizable access codes
- Auto Lock, Passage, and Passage Disable modes suit different daily routines
- Reversible handing accommodates left- or right-hand doors
- Includes a 9V battery and SmartKey Security
Cons:- Does not provide app control or remote access
- Door measurements need to be checked for compatibility
- Electronics warranty lasts one year
Best for: Homeowners seeking a keypad-controlled entry lever for a side door, office, or interior access point without needing remote app control.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want remote locking, activity notifications, or a deadbolt-style lock with a larger access-code capacity.
- Control method:Touch keypad
- Access codes:Up to 30
- Entry modes:Auto Lock, Passage, Disable Passage
- Battery:9V battery included
- Battery life:Up to 3 years
- Door handing:Reversible for left- or right-hand doors
- Security:SmartKey Security; BHMA AAA certification
- Warranty:Lifetime mechanical and finish; 1 year electronics
Our verdict“Pick the SmartCode 917 for a capable keypad lever with flexible lock modes, but skip it if you need connected access management.”
Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt with Century Trim, Satin Nickel
The Schlage Encode makes the most sense for buyers who want keypad entry paired with remote household management. Its touchscreen holds up to 100 access codes, and the app adds lock history, notifications, and remote control through built-in Wi-Fi, with no separate hub. A built-in alarm and auto-lock add useful security functions beyond the keypad itself. Compared with the Kwikset SmartCode 917, Encode is far more connected and supports many more codes, but it also depends on a Wi-Fi connection and app for its remote features. Four AA batteries are included, though typical battery life is listed at up to six months, so it may need more frequent attention than the Kwikset lever.
Pros:- Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote control without an extra hub
- Stores up to 100 access codes and provides lock history and notifications
- Built-in alarm and auto-lock add functions beyond code entry
- Includes a physical backup key and four AA batteries
Cons:- Typical battery life is listed at up to six months
- Remote access and voice control depend on Wi-Fi and compatible apps or devices
- Fits doors 1⅜–1¾ in thick, a narrower range than the Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt
Best for: Families, landlords, or frequent hosts who need many keypad codes and want to manage access and lock activity remotely.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer a non-connected keypad lock, want longer stated battery life, or have a door outside its thickness range.
- Connectivity:Built-in Wi-Fi
- Access codes:Up to 100
- Smart-home compatibility:Alexa and Google Home
- Door thickness:1⅜–1¾ in
- Backset:2⅜ or 2¾ in
- Power:Four included AA batteries
- Battery life:Up to six months with typical use
- Backup key:One included
Our verdict“Choose Schlage Encode if remote management and a large code roster matter more than minimizing Wi-Fi dependence or battery changes.”
Kwikset SmartCode 955 Pembroke Light Commercial Keypad Electronic Lever, Satin Nickel
The Kwikset SmartCode 955 is the lineup’s most purpose-built option for a busy entry where keypad durability matters more than remote features. Its 500,000-cycle testing, Grade 2 BHMA certification, and three-year minimum stated battery life suit light-commercial settings such as an office or rental common area. It supports 30 user codes plus a one-time code, while three lock modes let managers adapt the lever for different operating routines. Compared with the residential SmartCode 917, the 955 emphasizes high-traffic durability and adds an intrusion alert, but neither offers app-based access management. The keypad also disables for one minute after three incorrect entries, a useful deterrent that can inconvenience legitimate users who mistype repeatedly.
Pros:- Tested to 500,000 cycles for frequent operation
- Supports up to 30 user codes plus a one-time code
- Offers Auto-Lock, Passage, and Auto-Lock with turnpiece disabled
- Backlit keypad, SmartKey re-keying, and at least three years of stated battery life
Cons:- No app control or remote access is listed
- Keypad disables for one minute after three incorrect code entries
- Uses a 9V battery rather than the AA batteries used by the Schlage Encode
Best for: Small offices, rental properties, or busy household entrances that need durable keypad access and temporary entry codes.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need remote code changes, app notifications, or a keypad that stays available after repeated incorrect entries.
- User codes:Up to 30, plus 1 one-time code and 1 programming code
- Lock modes:Auto-Lock, Passage, and Auto-Lock with turnpiece disabled
- Battery:One included 9V battery
- Battery life:At least 3 years
- Tested cycles:500,000
- Security certification:Grade 2 BHMA
- Intrusion alert:Alarm and one-minute keypad disable after 3 incorrect entries
- Finish:Satin nickel
Our verdict“Choose the SmartCode 955 for a frequently used keypad lever with durability-focused credentials, not for connected access control.”
Veise VE017 Fingerprint Smart Door Lock with App Control, Matte Black
The Veise VE017 suits buyers who want a keypad lock with several quick ways to enter, especially fingerprint access alongside codes, fob cards, app control, and a mechanical key. Its app supports remote user management and activity logs, while local AES-128 storage keeps access data on the lock. That gives it a different balance from the Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt: Veise offers fob-card access and local credential storage, but connected features such as voice control require the separately sold G1 Gateway. The USB-C emergency power port offers a fallback if the batteries run down, though it does not replace routine battery upkeep; four AA batteries are not included, and stated life varies with use.
Pros:- Combines fingerprint, keypad, app, fob-card, and mechanical-key access
- Stores access data locally with AES-128 encryption
- Includes auto-lock, intrusion alerts, and an emergency USB-C power port
- Supports left- and right-handed doors and DIY installation
Cons:- G1 Gateway is sold separately for voice control and related connected features
- Four AA batteries are not included, and battery life varies with use
- One-year limited warranty, with extension requiring registration
Best for: Households that want fingerprint and keypad access, fob-card entry, and app-based user management in a DIY-installed lock.
Not ideal for: Buyers who expect built-in Wi-Fi or voice-assistant control without extra hardware, or who want batteries included.
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, app, authorized access, fob card, code, shared code, voice assistant with G1 Gateway, mechanical key
- Fingerprint recognition:Under 0.2 seconds; claimed 99.99% accuracy
- Auto-lock timer:0–180 seconds
- Data security:AES-128 encryption; access data stored locally
- Battery:Four AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, not included
- Claimed battery life:About 12 months; varies with use
- Emergency power:USB-C port
- Water resistance:IP55
- Smart-home compatibility:Alexa and Google Assistant with separately sold Veise G1 Gateway
Our verdict“Choose the VE017 if fingerprint and fob-card entry matter alongside a keypad, and you are comfortable buying a gateway for added smart-home features.”
How We Picked
I ranked these smart locks with keypad entry by how clearly each one serves a distinct buyer need: replacing a deadbolt, replacing a knob or lever, adding fingerprint access, or getting app-connected entry. I gave more weight to recognizable lock formats and useful combinations of access methods than to feature counts alone. Built-in Wi-Fi matters to buyers who want connected access, but it does not automatically make a lock a better choice for someone who only needs a code at the door.
I also considered installation fit, everyday usability, and product clarity. A handle set, deadbolt, lever, and knob are not interchangeable, so a model’s place in the ranking reflects the kind of hardware it replaces as well as its access features. The Schlage Encode leads for its built-in Wi-Fi deadbolt proposition; eufy C220 ranks highly for fingerprint-plus-keypad convenience; simpler options such as TEEHO TE001 suit buyers who want a keypad deadbolt without making app features the focus. Duplicate finishes are treated as finish choices, not separate feature advantages.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Smart Locks With Keypad Entry
Before choosing among these keypad smart locks, match the lock to the door and the way people will use it. The right choice depends less on how many features a listing names and more on the replacement job, access habits, and tolerance for app setup or battery upkeep.
Match the Lock Format to the Hardware You Are Replacing
Start by identifying whether you need a deadbolt, a knob, a lever, or a handle set; these products do different jobs even when all have keypads. A deadbolt replacement is usually the direct path when the existing deadbolt is the only hardware you want to change. A lever or knob model may be a better fit when you are replacing the latch-side handle, but it may not replace a separate deadbolt. Handle sets can change the look and scope of the installation, so check what components the product includes. Before ordering, inspect the door’s existing holes, latch arrangement, thickness, and handing against the manufacturer’s requirements. Choosing by access features before confirming the hardware format is a common way to end up with a lock that cannot replace the part you intended.
Decide Whether Keypad-Only Entry Is Enough
A keypad can be the main event: enter a code and leave a phone out of the routine. That makes simpler models appealing for households that want to share codes without relying on app access. App control and Wi-Fi can add remote management, but they also bring setup steps, account considerations, and another feature set to maintain. Fingerprint readers can make frequent entry quicker, though they should be viewed as an extra access method rather than a reason to ignore keypad usability. Think about who needs access, how often codes will change, and whether someone in the household would rather use a fingerprint or a phone. Paying for connectivity makes more sense when remote access is a real need, not merely a feature you may never use.
Treat Connectivity as a Household Requirement
“Smart” does not mean every keypad lock offers the same remote functions, so verify the exact model’s connectivity before purchase. Built-in Wi-Fi can support app-based control without a separate bridge, while keypad-focused models may be better suited to local entry. Remote locking or code management can help when household access changes often, but these functions depend on compatible setup and a reliable home network. If you mainly want a code at the door, a connected model may add complexity without changing your daily routine. If you manage access while away, confirm which functions work remotely and which require being near the lock. Compare the feature list for the precise finish and model number rather than assuming nearby products in the same brand family share capabilities.
Plan Codes Around Real Access Needs
Consider whether each person needs a permanent code, a temporary code, or simply a backup entry method. A lock’s code-management functions can matter more than its headline feature when you host guests, manage a rental, or coordinate household help. Check the manufacturer’s stated limits and scheduling options before relying on a lock for multiple users. Avoid sharing one long-term code among everyone if you need to know who should retain access later. A keypad also needs a plan for battery depletion or a forgotten code, so review the model’s backup entry options and alerts. Those practical details can separate a convenient access system from one that creates avoidable lockouts.
Compare Fingerprint Convenience With Maintenance
Fingerprint access can reduce the need to remember or enter a code, especially for people who pass through the door often. It is still worth checking how the lock handles enrollment and whether every intended user can use the reader comfortably. Weather, dirt, moisture, and worn or hard-to-read fingerprints can affect the routine, so a keypad or other backup method remains useful. Buyers who prefer fewer moving parts may be happier with a keypad-only lock, while households that value quick biometric entry may accept the added setup. Do not assume a fingerprint model removes the need to manage codes or batteries. Choose the extra access method only if it solves a problem you actually have.
Check Power, Backup Access, and Installation Before Buying
Battery-powered locks need periodic attention, and connected or feature-rich models may have different upkeep demands from simpler keypad hardware. Read the product guidance for battery type, low-battery warnings, and emergency access before choosing. Also verify whether the package includes the handle or trim you expect; the product name alone can be misleading when models are sold in several configurations. Confirm that the door closes and latches smoothly, because a smart lock cannot compensate for misaligned hardware. If the existing door needs modification or has unusual dimensions, installation support may matter more than an extra access feature. A little measuring and model-number checking can prevent both fit problems and mismatched expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a smart deadbolt or a keypad lever or knob?
Choose based on the hardware you want to replace, not just the entry method. A deadbolt model is the more direct match when you plan to replace an existing deadbolt and keep the handle hardware. A lever or knob lock replaces a different part of the door and may not provide the same separate deadbolt arrangement. Check whether your door has one lock location or both a latch and deadbolt before ordering. The Kwikset lever options and Yamiry knob models serve a different installation need from the Schlage, eufy, and Philips deadbolts.
Is built-in Wi-Fi worth choosing if I mainly use keypad codes?
It is worth prioritizing only if you expect to manage the lock through an app or need connected access away from home. If your household just enters codes at the door, a keypad-focused model may meet the need with fewer setup demands. Wi-Fi can add convenience for changing access or checking lock status, but those benefits depend on the specific model’s supported functions and a working network. Compare the exact feature list rather than assuming every smart lock offers remote control. In this roundup, Schlage Encode and the Philips 4200 Wi-Fi options are the clearest choices for buyers specifically seeking built-in Wi-Fi.
Do I need fingerprint entry as well as a keypad?
No; a keypad can be sufficient if entering a code is easy for everyone who uses the door. Fingerprint access can make routine entry quicker for frequent users, but it adds enrollment and another method that may not suit every person. Keep a code or other backup available even if you use a fingerprint reader most days. If you are choosing between a fingerprint model and a simpler keypad deadbolt, ask whether biometric entry solves a recurring inconvenience. The eufy C220, Philips fingerprint models, Yamiry, and Veise VE017 make sense when that extra method is a genuine priority.
Can I replace only my existing deadbolt without changing the handle?
Often, yes, if you select a deadbolt model rather than a lockset that includes a handle or replaces a knob or lever. Confirm the product’s included components and fit requirements before buying, since product titles can describe different configurations within a series. Measure the existing door preparation and check compatibility with the manufacturer’s instructions. A handle-and-deadbolt package may be unnecessary if your current handle is staying in place. This is one reason the deadbolt-only choices in the lineup may suit a smaller replacement project better than the Philips model with handle.
Which type is the better fit for a rental or a home with frequent visitors?
Prioritize a model whose code-management features match how often access changes, rather than choosing solely by appearance or fingerprint access. App-connected models may be helpful when you need to manage entry remotely, but verify the supported code controls for the exact lock. A simpler keypad can still work well when codes are changed manually and remote management is not needed. Consider who will maintain the lock, handle battery changes, and update codes between occupants. For rental use, also confirm that the lock’s installation format suits the door and that its backup access plan is practical for the property.
Conclusion
For the best overall fit, I recommend the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt for buyers who want a connected keypad deadbolt. The TEEHO TE001 is my best value-style pick for shoppers who prefer a straightforward keypad deadbolt and do not need Wi-Fi to drive the decision. For a premium connected choice, compare the Schlage Encode with Philips’ Wi-Fi models based on the exact hardware format and access features you want. Beginners should start with a lock that matches their current hardware and keeps the daily routine simple; TEEHO TE001 is a clear keypad-first option. For fingerprint access, look at eufy C220 or the Philips, Yamiry, and Veise options; for a lever or knob replacement, focus on the Kwikset or Yamiry models designed for that format. Pick the lock type first, then decide whether Wi-Fi or fingerprint entry earns its place in your setup.
