A deadbolt for homes that run on tap and app
- Suits renters, hosts and key-forgetters who want tap, code and app entry on one deadbolt.
- Tap entry works from a stored phone or watch even if your phone battery is dead.
- Voice and automation features need a compatible hub and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
This lock puts several ways to get inside on one deadbolt: tapping an iPhone, Apple Watch or Android NFC phone, keypad codes, a phone app, a key fob and two mechanical keys. It's for the household that keeps losing keys, wants to hand a cleaner or dog walker temporary access, or has a rental that needs fresh codes between guests.
We'd consider it a strong match for an Airbnb or apartment with steady guest turnover, since you can manage up to 50 codes and 50 tapped devices and see a lock history with notifications. It also pairs with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings and IFTTT so a hub can fold the door into automations.
You get auto lock and auto unlock behavior tied to a door sensor and your phone, plus an alert if the door is left open. The zinc alloy body is rated BHMA Grade 1 for residential durability and IP65 for dust and weather exposure, so a front or back door is within scope.
What $139.99 means against the usual price
The lock lists at $139.99, marked down 11 percent from a typical price over the last 90 days of $157.17. That saves you $17.18 on this offer.
It runs on eight AA batteries, which the maker rates for up to a year of regular use. Your own battery spend depends on how often the deadbolt cycles and whether you use tap entry heavily, so budget for a fresh set on hand rather than a fixed yearly figure.

Getting it onto your door and keeping it online
Installation uses a screwdriver with no wiring or pro visit, so measure your existing deadbolt bore and backset before ordering and confirm your door currently has a deadbolt cutout. The lock itself handles front doors, back doors and garage entry doors, and the Black finish is the color in this listing.
Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz only and needs no bridge, but signal matters. Keep your router within about 70 ft of the lock and check the firmware version after setup, since updates target signal stability and smoother NFC unlocking.
On a rental, decide who gets permanent codes versus date-limited ones and how you'll rotate them between stays. The app is the place you'll manage all of that, so confirm the phone you carry is on the supported iOS or Android side.
When this deadbolt is the wrong call
Skip it if your door has no existing deadbolt prep and you don't want to add one, or if your door sits outside the reach of your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Skip it too if you want a fully local setup with no app or cloud account in the loop, because remote codes, history and alerts live in the app.
If your priority is a bare mechanical deadbolt with no battery to think about, a standard keyed model does that job for less. This one is for the household that actually wants tap, code and app entry.
