The Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt is a solid choice if you're looking for a secure and convenient smart lock for your home. It uses a keypad lock type with a fingerprint-resistant touchscreen, allowing easy one-touch locking and up to 100 unique access codes. This means you can easily give different people temporary or permanent entry without handing out physical keys. Since it has built-in WiFi, you can lock or unlock your door from anywhere using the Schlage app or Amazon’s Key app, without needing extra hubs or accessories. It also works with Alexa, so you can check your lock status or control it with voice commands, which adds a nice hands-free touch.

The lock is powered by four AA batteries, which are included, and it gives you low battery warnings so you won’t be caught off guard. Installation is straightforward and does not require complicated tools — just a screwdriver is enough, and a clever snap-on design holds the deadbolt in place while you work. It fits most standard doors with thickness between 1-3/8” and 1-3/4” and offers a universal backset for better compatibility.

On the security front, it meets the highest residential ANSI Grade 1 standards and includes an alarm that detects tampering attempts. One thing to keep in mind is that it requires a 2.4GHz WiFi network, so make sure your home supports that. While some users may find the touchscreen sensitive or the battery life average for heavy usage, the lock’s wide device compatibility and robust security features make it a strong contender for anyone wanting a reliable smart lock with remote access and smart home integration.

The Schlage Encode Plus is a deadbolt smart lock designed for keyless entry and easy home security management. It uses built-in WiFi to connect directly to your home network, so you can lock or unlock your door from anywhere using the Schlage Home app. This gives you the convenience of managing up to 100 access codes, checking lock history, and receiving alerts about your door’s status. A standout feature is its Apple Home Key compatibility, allowing you to tap your iPhone or Apple Watch for quick, secure entry without needing a physical key or app. It also supports voice control with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, offering hands-free operation if you have compatible devices.

The lock runs on batteries, so no wiring is needed, making installation straightforward with common door sizes and just a screwdriver. The 'Snap ‘n Stay' design helps hold the lock in place during setup, which is handy if you’re doing it alone. Made of zinc with a polished satin nickel finish, it combines durability with a stylish look. While it’s great for users invested in Apple’s ecosystem or those who want easy remote control, it requires a WiFi connection and the associated app to access most smart features, which might be a limitation if your internet is unreliable. Battery replacement and app dependency are also factors to keep in mind.

Schlage is a trusted brand with a strong warranty, and the lock offers robust features for protecting your home. This smart lock suits homeowners who want reliable keyless entry, remote control, and integration with popular smart home systems without complex installation.

The lock is made with durable aluminum and has water resistance (IP54), making it suitable for outdoor use in typical weather conditions.

Installation is straightforward and requires only a screwdriver, which means you can set it up yourself without professional help. It fits standard US door sizes with a specific hole size requirement (2-1/8"), so checking your door compatibility before purchase is important. The lock includes 2 physical keys, providing a backup in case the keypad or batteries fail.

This lock runs on batteries (not included), and it alerts you when power is low, helping avoid lockouts. While it offers solid security features like anti-peeping code entry and a sturdy deadbolt, it does not support smart home integration or remote connectivity. You will not be able to control it via smartphone apps or voice assistants, which some users might expect from a smart lock. The TEEHO TE001 is a reliable, easy-to-install keypad deadbolt ideal for those seeking keyless entry and enhanced security without the complexity or cost of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth features.
