As more Black Friday deals continue to pour in I've seen some serious discounts taken off some of the best smart home upgrades. A smart lock is one of the most useful investments you can make to streamline your home security setup. I use one every single day to effortlessly enter my home.
If my parents or a friend need to enter my place while I'm out I can unlock the door remotely. And when my OCD starts acting up I can open an app or ask a smart assistant for the status of my door to see if it's locked or ajar.
I've spent the past five years testing smart locks and have purchased several throughout my life. Things you should keep in mind when looking for a good smart lock are its feature set, smart home platform compatibility and build quality.
Although any lock will break if you try hard enough you want a model that is ANSI/BHMA rated. This scale measures impact and toughness resistance with Grade 1 being the best and Grade 3 being acceptable. Below you'll find the smart locks that I recommend because they meet my standards and provide a variety of ways to control your door.
