Smart locks add keyless convenience and remote control, but they vary widely. Here's how to choose.
How Smart Locks Connect
Smart locks use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or hub-based systems like Z-Wave. Wi-Fi models allow control from anywhere but use more power, while Bluetooth models work only within range and last longer on batteries.
Keypad, App, and Backup Access
Look for a model with a physical key or keypad backup in case of dead batteries. Codes you can issue and revoke are useful for guests, cleaners, or short-term rentals.
