The front door job this lock takes over
- We'd consider it a practical fit for a shared household that needs separate codes for each person.
- We'd skip it if you want app control or voice commands without buying the G1 gateway separately.
Carrying keys gets old fast, especially when family members and short term guests come and go. The Veise VE017-H sets out to replace the keyring at your main entry point with a fingerprint, a keypad code, an IC card, or the app.
We recommend it for an owner or a rental host who wants to issue and revoke access without copying physical keys. Permanent, recurring, duration, and one time passcodes can be created and shared from the app, and more than 100 codes can be managed at once.
The lock stores more than 20 fingerprints and recognizes one in what the manufacturer lists as 0.2 seconds. Silent Mode quiets the keypad at night, and Passage Mode keeps the door unlocked during a party or a move.
What this price means for your entryway
The current price is $109.94, compared with a typical price over the last 90 days of $131.99. That is $22.05 less, or about 17 percent off, and it matches the lowest price recorded for this model across all time.
The hardware is rated BHMA/ANSI Grade 3 and carries an IP55 waterproof rating, which is an appropriate baseline for an exterior door that sees rain.
Four AA or LR6 alkaline batteries are required but sold separately, and the manufacturer rates operation at up to 12 months. An emergency power port is built in for the day the batteries die while you are outside.

Fitting it to your door and keeping it running
Measure your door before ordering. The lock is built for left or right handed doors between 1-3/8 inches and 2 inches thick. Installation needs only a screwdriver, and the set includes instructions and a video tutorial.
Plan the gateway question now. The G1 gateway is sold separately, and features like app based remote lock and unlock, voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant, and real time notifications depend on having one. A single G1 gateway can support three VE01 series locks.
Plan on a set of four AA alkaline batteries at some point in your first year of ownership. The lock speaks its prompts in your choice of three languages, and support is available by phone on weekdays and Saturday plus email around the clock.
When a keyed deadbolt still makes more sense
Skip this lock if every person who needs entry lives outside the app world, or if you expect smart home control without buying the separate G1 gateway.
Also pass if your door falls outside the 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thickness range, since this model is not made for those doors.
If the lock does fit, you are getting a four credential entry lock with multi mode passcodes and a $109.94 price that matches its recorded low.
