The best fingerprint door locks pair dependable biometric entry with a lock style and setup that suit your door. My best overall pick is the Wyze Lock Bolt v2, which combines fingerprint access with Wi-Fi connectivity in a deadbolt format; the eufy Security Smart Lock C33 stands out for an integrated handle and built-in Wi-Fi, while the ULTRALOQ Bolt SE adds Matter support for connected-home flexibility. The main tradeoffs are whether you want a deadbolt or lever, how much app and smart-home access you need, and whether a more feature-rich lock is worth added setup and compatibility checks. Fingerprint access is convenient, but it should complement—not replace—backup entry methods and a suitable mechanical lock. Read on for my full comparison, buying advice, and picks for different needs.

Key Takeaways
- Deadbolt and handle choices are not interchangeable: the Wyze and ULTRALOQ picks suit deadbolt installations, while the eufy C33 and Philips lever models combine entry control with a handle.
- Connectivity separates smart-home picks from simpler biometric locks: Wi-Fi models can support remote app access, while Matter support on the ULTRALOQ Bolt SE may matter more to buyers building a compatible smart home.
- Built-in Wi-Fi can simplify setup: the eufy C33 lists built-in Wi-Fi, while buyers comparing other connected locks should check whether their chosen features require a separate bridge or hub.
- Several Veise, Yamiry, and Sifely options favor varied form factors and access methods: compare their exact lock style and included features rather than assuming every model has the same connectivity or installation needs.
- Door fit and backup access should shape the shortlist: check the lock type, handing, existing bore and latch setup, and available key or keypad access before prioritizing app features.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Veise KS02B Fingerprint Door Lock with Two Lever Handles, Matte Black
The Veise KS02B is a strong fit if fingerprint access is your priority but you still want familiar backups. It pairs fingerprint entry with passcodes, temporary passcodes, and a physical key, so guests can get in without sharing a household fingerprint. Its included two-lever set and compatibility with standard left- or right-handed doors make it a more complete handle replacement than the Wyze Lock Bolt v2, which is a deadbolt rather than a handle set. The tradeoff is a simpler feature set: unlike Wyze, it does not list Wi-Fi or app-based remote management. Its IP54 rating and broad operating-temperature range suit exposed door locations, while Grade 3 security and a one-year battery-life claim are more modest than the Wyze’s Grade 2 rating. Check the door thickness and hole layout before buying.
Pros:- Offers fingerprint, passcode, temporary passcode, and physical-key entry.
- Includes two lever handles and supports left- or right-handed doors.
- IP54 water resistance and an operating range from -31°F to 158°F.
- Auto-lock, one-touch locking, and passage, vacation, and silent modes.
Cons:- No app or Wi-Fi remote management is listed.
- Requires four AA batteries, which are not included.
- Compatibility is limited to specified door thickness and hole dimensions.
Best for: Homeowners replacing a standard lever handle who want fingerprint and temporary-code access without relying on an app or Wi-Fi.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want remote app control, or whose doors are thicker than 2 inches or lack the specified two 2-1/8-inch holes.
- Access methods:Fingerprint, passcode, temporary passcode, physical key
- Fingerprint capacity:20 fingerprints
- Passcode capacity:20 family codes
- Fingerprint recognition:0.3 seconds
- Security grade:ANSI/BHMA Grade 3
- Water resistance:IP54
- Power:4 AA batteries; stated life up to 1 year
- Door compatibility:1-3/8–2 in (35–50 mm) thick; left- or right-handed
Our verdict“Choose the KS02B for straightforward fingerprint entry with a complete lever set, but pick the Wyze Lock Bolt v2 if remote connectivity matters more.”
Yamiry Smart Fingerprint Door Lock with Keypad
The Yamiry YR01 is the access-sharing pick: its app supports permanent, temporary, and one-time passcodes, while the lock also accepts fingerprints, key fobs, and mechanical keys. That range gives households more ways to issue entry than the Veise KS02B, whose listed access options do not include an app or key fobs. The reversible handle and screwdriver installation without additional drilling may also suit a standard wooden door when a straightforward replacement is the goal. There is a catch to its smart-home reach: remote control and Alexa unlocking require a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway, so Bluetooth app access alone should not be mistaken for control from anywhere. Yamiry describes compatibility with most standard American wooden doors, not every door material or configuration, so buyers with unusual doors should verify fit before choosing it.
Pros:- Combines fingerprint, passcode, Bluetooth app, key fob, and mechanical-key access.
- App supports permanent, temporary, and one-time passcodes plus unlock history.
- Reversible handle accommodates left- or right-handed doors.
- Designed for screwdriver installation without additional drilling.
Cons:- Remote control and Alexa unlocking require a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway.
- Compatibility is described for most standard American wooden doors, limiting certainty for other door types.
- The supplied details do not state battery life, fingerprint capacity, or a security grade.
Best for: Households that regularly grant temporary or one-time access and want several local entry options on a standard American wooden door.
Not ideal for: Buyers who expect remote access or Alexa voice unlocking out of the box, or who need a lock confirmed for a nonstandard door.
- Model:YR01
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, Bluetooth app, passcode, key fob, mechanical key, Alexa voice unlock
- Remote control:Requires separately sold Wi-Fi gateway
- App access:Permanent, temporary, and one-time passcodes; unlock history
- Handle orientation:Reversible for left- or right-handed doors
- Door compatibility:Most standard American wooden doors
- Installation:Screwdriver installation; no additional drilling
- Included components:Exterior and interior assemblies, 2 key fobs, 2 mechanical keys, screw set, adjustable latch
Our verdict“Pick Yamiry if flexible guest codes and multiple entry methods matter most, but choose the Philips 4200 if you want Wi-Fi connectivity without a separate gateway.”
Wyze Lock Bolt v2 Wi-Fi Fingerprint Smart Deadbolt
If managing a lock while away is central to your choice, the Wyze Lock Bolt v2 has a clear advantage: built-in Wi-Fi enables remote lock management without the separate gateway required by the Yamiry YR01. It also stores up to 50 fingerprints and 50 keypad codes, giving larger households more room than the Veise KS02B’s stated capacities. Fingerprint, keypad, app, and physical-key entry provide useful alternatives, while auto-lock, tamper alarms, and USB-C emergency power address different everyday failure points. This is a deadbolt, though, not a handle set like the Philips 4200 Series or eufy C33, so it is not a full handle replacement. The eight-AA-battery requirement and stated life of up to eight months also mean more battery planning than the Veise’s four-AA setup; remote features depend on a working Wi-Fi connection.
Pros:- Built-in Wi-Fi supports remote lock management.
- Stores up to 50 fingerprints and 50 keypad codes.
- Includes physical-key access, auto-lock, and tamper alarms.
- USB-C emergency power provides another option if batteries run down.
Cons:- Requires eight AA batteries, with stated battery life up to eight months.
- Remote management depends on Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Deadbolt format does not provide the matching lever-handle set offered by some picks.
Best for: Households that want remote lock management and need capacity for many fingerprints and keypad codes in a deadbolt format.
Not ideal for: Buyers replacing a complete handle set, or those who prefer a lower battery count or do not have reliable Wi-Fi near the door.
- Lock type:Biometric keypad deadbolt
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, keypad code, app, physical key
- Fingerprint capacity:Up to 50 fingerprints
- Keypad capacity:Up to 50 codes
- Durability:BHMA Grade 2
- Power:8 AA batteries; stated life up to 8 months
- Emergency power:USB-C
- Weather resistance:IP53
Our verdict“Choose the Wyze if Wi-Fi control and high user capacity outweigh the need for a matching handle or a smaller battery load.”
Philips 4200 Series WiFi Keypad Deadbolt with Handle
The Philips 4200 Series brings fingerprint entry, app control, voice-assistant support, and a matching handle together with direct 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so there is no separate hub to add. That makes it a more ready-to-connect choice than Yamiry, whose remote features need an extra gateway, and a more integrated handle replacement than the deadbolt-only Wyze Lock Bolt v2. Its PIN options are especially useful for scheduling access: permanent, one-time, periodic, and recurring codes cover more situations than a basic keypad. The compromises are practical rather than hidden: the auto-lock feature must be enabled in the app, batteries are not included, and the stated Wi-Fi guidance places the lock within 33 feet of the router. Door fit is narrower than Veise KS02B’s range, and the lock defaults to a right-opening orientation that needs resetting for left-opening doors.
Pros:- Connects directly to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi without a hub.
- Includes a matching pair of door levers and installation hardware.
- Supports permanent, one-time, periodic, and recurring PIN codes.
- Offers fingerprint, app, Alexa, and Google Assistant access.
Cons:- Batteries are not included, and stated battery life is up to six months.
- Auto-lock must be enabled in the app rather than being active by default.
- Wi-Fi performance depends on router distance and interference; left-opening doors require a reset.
Best for: Buyers replacing a lever set who want fingerprint, flexible PIN scheduling, and app or voice control over direct Wi-Fi.
Not ideal for: People with doors outside the 1-3/8–1-3/4-inch thickness range, weak router coverage near the entry, or no interest in configuring auto-lock in an app.
- Connectivity:2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; no hub required
- Access methods:App, PIN codes, fingerprint, Alexa, Google Assistant
- PIN code types:Permanent, one-time, periodic, recurring
- Fingerprint unlock time:0.3 seconds
- Auto-lock delay:0–180 seconds; must be enabled in the app
- Battery:1.5V alkaline batteries; not included; stated life up to 6 months
- Door thickness:1-3/8–1-3/4 in (38–50 mm)
- Wi-Fi range guidance:Within 33 ft (10 m) of router
- Door orientation:Right-opening by default; reset for left-opening doors
Our verdict“Choose the Philips 4200 for a hub-free connected handle set with flexible PIN scheduling, provided your door fits and Wi-Fi reaches the entry.”
eufy Security Smart Lock C33 with Keypad, Handle, Fingerprint Recognition, and Built-In Wi-Fi
The eufy Security Smart Lock C33 suits buyers who want a connected fingerprint lock with a handle and prefer an installation described as requiring no drilling. Built-in Wi-Fi supports remote access management, notifications, and event history, putting it closer to the Philips 4200 than the Veise KS02B, which offers a simpler mix of local entry methods without listed app control. The C33 also adds a backlit keypad and an anti-peeping password feature, giving code users a more private way to enter. It is a substantial option, weighing 1.9 kg, and its eight-AA-battery setup is a bigger commitment than the KS02B’s four batteries. Unlike Philips, the supplied details do not specify PIN scheduling, a Wi-Fi band, or battery-life duration, so buyers who need those exact details should compare carefully before choosing.
Pros:- Built-in Wi-Fi supports remote access management, notifications, and event history.
- Combines fingerprint entry with a backlit keypad and anti-peeping password feature.
- Includes app and voice access with Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility.
- Designed for left- or right-hand doors and installation without drilling.
Cons:- Requires eight AA batteries; battery-life duration is not stated in the supplied specifications.
- At 1.9 kg, it is heavier than a lighter handle-lock alternative may be.
- The supplied data does not specify fingerprint capacity or PIN-code scheduling options.
Best for: Homeowners seeking a no-drill handle-and-deadbolt setup with fingerprint entry, built-in Wi-Fi, and app notifications.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a stated battery-life estimate, detailed PIN scheduling, or a lighter lock with fewer batteries.
- Model:T85L0
- Lock type:Electronic deadbolt with handle
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, passcode, app, voice
- Connectivity:Built-in Wi-Fi
- Voice assistants:Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant
- Additional features:Anti-peeping password, auto-lock, backlit keypad
- Ingress protection:IP53
- Power:8 AA batteries
- Weight and dimensions:1.9 kg; 7.24 x 6.06 x 5.12 in
Our verdict“Pick the C33 for a no-drill, Wi-Fi-connected handle lock with notifications, but favor the Philips 4200 if defined PIN schedules and battery-life details matter more.”
Veise KS02A Fingerprint Keypad Deadbolt, Matte Black
The Veise KS02A is a good fit if I want fingerprint entry without making app connectivity part of the setup. It combines fingerprints with passwords, one-time guest codes, and two mechanical keys, while keeping access data stored locally. Compared with the Wi-Fi-enabled ULTRALOQ Bolt SE, it gives up remote control and activity alerts but avoids relying on a network for everyday access. Its auto-lock, passage, and vacation modes cover useful household routines, and its stated battery life is longer than the eufy FamiLock C32’s five-plus months. The tradeoffs are a deadbolt-only design with no handle and an installation that calls for careful panel alignment. I’d choose it for a straightforward standard-door upgrade, not for a connected entry system.
Pros:- Offers fingerprint, password, one-time code, and mechanical-key entry
- Stores access information locally and supports auto-lock, passage, and vacation modes
- Fits standard door dimensions and is designed for screwdriver installation
- Supports up to 20 fingerprints and 20 user passwords
Cons:- Does not include a handle
- Requires four AA batteries, which are not included
- Installation depends on keeping the front and back panels perfectly vertical
Best for: Households wanting fingerprint and guest-code access on a standard door without app or Wi-Fi management
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a matching lever handle, remote access management, or alerts when the lock is used
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, password, one-time code, mechanical key
- Fingerprint capacity:Up to 20
- Password capacity:Up to 20 user passwords
- Auto-lock:Adjustable from 10 to 99 seconds
- Battery:4 AA alkaline batteries, not included
- Battery life:Up to 365+ days
- Door compatibility:1-3/8 to 2 inches thick; 2-1/8-inch lock hole
- Weather resistance:IP54
- Certification:ANSI Grade 3, BHMA
Our verdict“Choose the KS02A for flexible, locally stored access on a standard door if you do not need a handle or remote app controls.”
ULTRALOQ Bolt SE Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt with Matter Support
If I want a fingerprint deadbolt that can also be managed from away, the ULTRALOQ Bolt SE offers the broadest connected feature set in this batch. Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi supports remote control without a hub, alongside app, web portal, shared eKey, voice, passcode, and mechanical-key access. Its capacity of up to 50 fingerprints and 50 passcodes is higher than the Veise KS02A’s, which suits households or property managers handling more users. The IP65 zinc alloy construction also gives it a stronger stated weather-resistance rating than the KS02A’s IP54. Matter over Thread is an extra, not a hub-free shortcut: it requires a compatible Thread Border Router. I’d skip this model if local fingerprint entry is enough or if my network is 5 GHz only; it also lacks an included door sensor.
Pros:- Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi enables remote management without a hub
- Supports up to 50 fingerprints and 50 passcodes
- Offers app, web portal, shared eKey, voice, passcode, and mechanical-key access
- IP65 weather resistance and activity alerts suit connected exterior-door use
Cons:- Matter over Thread features require a compatible Thread Border Router
- Connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only
- Door sensor is not included
Best for: Connected-home owners and hosts who want remote lock management, alerts, and room for many fingerprints and passcodes
Not ideal for: Buyers with 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi, no compatible Thread Border Router for Matter features, or no need for remote controls
- Access methods:Fingerprint, passcode, app, web portal, shared eKey/code, voice control, mechanical keys
- Fingerprint capacity:Up to 50
- Passcode capacity:Up to 50
- Connectivity:2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; Matter over Thread
- Matter requirement:Compatible Thread Border Router
- Battery life:Up to 18 months
- Material:Zinc alloy
- Weather resistance:IP65
- Warranty:Lifetime mechanical; 18-month electronic
Our verdict“Pick the Bolt SE if you want remote management and high user capacity, and can work with its Wi-Fi and Matter hub requirements.”
Veise VE017 Fingerprint Smart Door Lock with App Control, Satin Nickel
The Veise VE017 stands out for giving me several ways to handle guests and changing schedules, not just a fingerprint reader. Its keypad supports one-time, duration, permanent, and recurring codes, while app controls, activity logs, and alerts help track access. Compared with the KS02A, the VE017 adds app-based management and a fob card, but voice control and related remote features require the separately sold G1 Gateway. Its local AES-128 encrypted storage is a useful distinction for buyers who want access data kept on the lock. The adjustable auto-lock range reaches 180 seconds, longer than the KS02A’s 99-second maximum. On the other hand, this model still needs four AA batteries, and the advertised battery life varies with use. I’d pick it for managing varied guest access, not for gateway-free voice control.
Pros:- Supports one-time, duration, permanent, and recurring password schedules
- Combines fingerprint, app, keypad, fob card, code, and mechanical-key entry
- Keeps access data locally with AES-128 encryption and offers activity logs and alerts
- Includes an emergency USB-C power port
Cons:- Voice control and related remote features require the separately sold G1 Gateway
- Four AA batteries are not included, and battery life varies with use
- The one-year limited warranty extension requires registration
Best for: Hosts and households who need different kinds of temporary or recurring codes plus app-based user management
Not ideal for: Buyers who expect voice control or remote smart-home features to work without purchasing a separate gateway
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, app, authorized access, fob card, code, shared code, mechanical key; voice with G1 Gateway
- Password modes:One-time, duration, permanent, recurring
- Auto-lock timer:0–180 seconds
- Fingerprint recognition:Under 0.2 seconds; claimed 99.99% accuracy
- Data security:AES-128 encrypted local storage
- Battery:4 AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, not included
- Battery life:About 12 months; varies with use
- Emergency power:USB-C port
- Weather resistance:IP55
Our verdict“Choose the VE017 if guest-code scheduling and app-based access management matter more than built-in Wi-Fi or gateway-free voice control.”
eufy Security FamiLock C32 Fingerprint Smart Lock with Handle
The eufy FamiLock C32 is the clearest choice here for an interior door where a handle matters as much as fingerprint entry. It adds built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, app-based remote management, Alexa and Google Assistant support, and USB-C emergency power. Its stated fingerprint unlock time is about 0.3 seconds, while the aluminum body has a fingerprint-resistant matte finish. Unlike the deadbolt-only Veise KS02A, this eufy includes a handle, but its intended use is narrower: the product is not recommended for front doors. Its battery runtime of over five months is also shorter than the KS02A’s stated up-to-365-plus-day figure. I’d use it for a bedroom, office, or storage door where remote authorization is handy; buyers needing a front-entry lock or rekeying flexibility should choose another option.
Pros:- Includes a handle and supports fingerprint, PIN, and physical-key entry
- Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote lock management and authorization
- USB-C emergency power helps when the batteries run out
- Works with Alexa and Google Assistant
Cons:- Not recommended for front-door use
- Does not support rekeying
- Stated battery life is over five months, shorter than the KS02A’s stated runtime
Best for: People securing an interior bedroom, office, garage, or storage door who want a handle and remote app management
Not ideal for: Homeowners choosing a front-door lock or anyone who needs to rekey the lock to match existing keys
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, PIN, physical key
- Fingerprint unlock time:About 0.3 seconds
- Connectivity:2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
- Smart home compatibility:Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant
- Power:4 AA batteries
- Battery life:Over 5 months
- Emergency power:USB-C
- Material and finish:Aluminum; matte anodized, fingerprint-resistant
- Dimensions:8.66 x 7.1 x 3.15 inches
Our verdict“Choose the FamiLock C32 for a connected interior door with a handle, but not as a front-door deadbolt replacement.”
Sifely S Fingerprint Smart Lock with Reversible Handle
The Sifely S makes the most sense when I want a fingerprint lock that replaces a lever as well as adding keypad access. Its reversible handle suits compatible left- or right-handed doors, and five entry methods—fingerprint, PIN, Bluetooth app, RFID fob, and mechanical key—give residents and guests alternatives. Timed, one-time, recurring, and permanent codes make it more adaptable for scheduled access than the Veise KS02A, while auto-lock, passage, and privacy modes cover everyday use. The main limitation is connectivity: Bluetooth is local, so remote internet control and voice features require a separately sold Wi-Fi Gateway. It also needs four AA batteries that are not included, and buyers must check door thickness, bore, and backset before ordering. I’d choose it for a compatible lever-door replacement, not for built-in remote access.
Pros:- Provides fingerprint, keypad PIN, Bluetooth app, RFID fob, and mechanical-key entry
- Reversible handle fits compatible left- or right-handed doors
- Supports timed, one-time, recurring, and permanent access codes
- Includes auto-lock, passage, and privacy modes
Cons:- Remote internet control and voice features require a separately sold Wi-Fi Gateway
- Four AA batteries are not included
- Requires compatible door thickness, bore, and backset measurements
Best for: Homeowners replacing a compatible lever lock who want fingerprint entry, multiple guest-code schedules, and a reversible handle
Not ideal for: Buyers who need remote internet control out of the box or cannot confirm their door’s thickness, bore, and backset
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, keypad PIN, Bluetooth app, RFID key fob, mechanical key
- Connectivity:Local Bluetooth; remote internet access requires compatible Wi-Fi Gateway
- Material:Zinc alloy
- Handle:Reversible lever
- Door thickness:1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches
- Bore diameter:2-1/8 inches
- Backset:2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches
- Power:Four AA batteries, not included
- Emergency power:Micro-USB port
Our verdict“Pick the Sifely S if you need a reversible lever lock with varied entry methods and can accept local Bluetooth unless you add a gateway.”
Evanshow Fingerprint Keypad Door Lock, Matte Black
The Evanshow suits buyers who want several ways to open a wooden door without adding app setup or wiring. It accepts fingerprints, passwords, IC cards, and mechanical keys, while capacity for 100 fingerprints and 50 passwords gives a household room to add users. Recognition takes under a second, and the stated door-thickness range covers many common wooden doors. Compared with the Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt, Evanshow keeps things simpler: there is no app or remote access, but there is also no Wi-Fi setup to manage. Its screw-on installation avoids drilling, though buyers should check their door fit before ordering. One practical catch is that setup starts with registering an administrator fingerprint; the USB port can provide emergency power, but it does not recharge the internal batteries.
Pros:- Offers fingerprint, password, IC card, and mechanical-key entry.
- Stores up to 100 fingerprints and 50 passwords.
- Fits 1.18–1.97-inch-thick wooden doors with either swing direction.
- Designed for screw attachment without drilling or wiring.
Cons:- Does not include app control or remote access.
- Administrator fingerprint registration is required before normal use.
- USB emergency power does not charge the internal batteries.
Best for: Households with a compatible wooden door that want fingerprint and keypad access without app control or wiring.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want remote unlocking, activity alerts, or app-based guest access.
- Entry methods:Fingerprint, password, 2 mechanical keys, and 4 IC cards
- Fingerprint capacity:Up to 100
- Password capacity:Up to 50
- Recognition time:Under 1 second
- Door compatibility:Wooden doors, left- or right-swing
- Door thickness:1.18–1.97 inches
- Installation:Screw attachment; no drilling or wiring required
- Emergency power:USB port for an external power bank
Our verdict“Choose Evanshow if you want high-capacity, multi-method entry on a compatible wooden door and do not need app features.”
IRONZON 5-in-1 Smart Fingerprint Door Handle Lock
IRONZON is a strong fit for homes that regularly give guests or service providers temporary access. Alongside fingerprint, NFC card, app, and mechanical-key entry, it supports passcodes for up to 100 users and codes that expire automatically. That makes access easier to manage than on the Evanshow, which offers more fingerprint capacity but no app or temporary-code features. IRONZON also stores fingerprint and app data locally, and its backlit keypad with anti-peeping entry helps when entering a code in dim light or around onlookers. Auto-lock and USB-C emergency power add useful everyday safeguards. The tradeoff is that remote control requires a separate Tuya Gateway, so app-based local features should not be mistaken for hub-free remote access; alkaline batteries are also not included.
Pros:- Provides fingerprint, NFC card, passcode, app, and mechanical-key entry.

Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt Lock with Fingerprint, Passcode, App, Key, and Voice Access
Among these picks, the Philips deadbolt is the clearest choice for buyers who want remote access without adding a separate hub. Its built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi supports app control and activity alerts, while fingerprint, physical-key, passcode, and voice-assistant access give residents several ways in. The 100-code capacity, including one-time and scheduled guest codes, makes it more suited to changing access needs than the Evanshow, which has no app. Compared with the Philips 4000 Series lever lock, this model is a deadbolt-focused option with Away Mode and adjustable auto-lock timing from 10 to 180 seconds. The limits are practical: it only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, AA batteries are not included, and there is no door sensor to report whether the door is open.
Pros:- Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote control without an extra hub.
- Supports fingerprint, passcode, physical-key, app, and voice-assistant access.
- Stores up to 100 custom passcodes, including one-time and scheduled guest codes.
- Offers Away Mode and adjustable auto-lock timing.
Cons:- Connects only to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
- AA alkaline batteries are not included.
- No door sensor is included.
Best for: Homeowners who want app-based remote locking, alerts, and guest codes without buying a separate connectivity hub.
Not ideal for: Buyers with only 5 GHz Wi-Fi, those who need door-open status, or anyone seeking a lock with batteries included.
- Access methods:App, passcode, fingerprint, physical key, Alexa, and Google Assistant
- Connectivity:Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
- Remote access:Supported; no extra hub needed
- Passcode capacity:Up to 100 custom passcodes
- Guest codes:One-time and scheduled codes supported

- Battery type:AA alkaline (LR6), not included
Our verdict“Choose this Philips deadbolt if hub-free remote access and flexible guest codes are priorities, and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi suits your home.”
Philips 4000 Series Wi-Fi Smart Door Lock with Fingerprint and Lever Handles
This Philips pick makes the most sense when you want a complete lever-handle replacement rather than a deadbolt-only unit. It includes two lever handles and combines fingerprint, PIN, key, and app entry with built-in Wi-Fi for remote control, sharing, alerts, and access history. Unlike the Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt, it is supplied as a lever set and includes eight AA batteries, but fingerprint capacity is lower at 50 rather than 100. Its auto-lock is tied to the door being fully closed, a useful safeguard against the lock engaging while the door is ajar, though the product data lists no door sensor. Up to 100 user PINs and unlimited one-time PINs add flexibility; recurring or timed PIN sharing requires a separate gateway, which limits its appeal for remote guest management.
Pros:- Includes two lever handles for a handle replacement.
- Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi supports remote control, sharing, alerts, and access history without a hub.
- Stores up to 50 fingerprints and 100 user PINs, with unlimited one-time PINs.
- Includes eight AA batteries and supports Alexa and Google Assistant.
Cons:- Auto-lock works only when the door is fully closed, and no door sensor is included.
- Timed and recurring PIN sharing requires a separately sold Philips Wi-Fi Gateway.
- Using the optional exterior assembly screw requires drilling a 19/32-inch hole.
Best for: Buyers replacing a standard door handle who want fingerprint access, built-in Wi-Fi, and included batteries.
Not ideal for: Households that need more than 50 stored fingerprints or gateway-free timed and recurring PIN sharing.
- Unlock methods:Fingerprint, PIN code, key, and app
- Fingerprint capacity:Up to 50
- PIN capacity:Up to 100 user PINs; unlimited one-time PINs
- Wi-Fi:Built-in 2.4 GHz; no hub required for listed remote features
- Voice assistants:Alexa and Google Assistant
- Door thickness:1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches
- Included handles:Two lever handles
- Included batteries:8 AA batteries
Our verdict“Choose the Philips 4000 Series if you need a Wi-Fi-connected lever replacement with batteries included and can work within its fingerprint limit.”
Yamiry Keypad Smart Door Knob Lock with Fingerprint Access
The Yamiry knob is a straightforward choice for buyers who want fingerprint access plus app control nearby, without needing built-in Wi-Fi. It offers five entry methods—app, password, key fob, fingerprint, and physical key—and holds up to 50 passwords and 50 fingerprints. The included two key fobs and two physical keys give family members alternatives if they do not want to use biometrics. Compared with the Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt, Yamiry is less capable for remote management: its app connects over Bluetooth, and access from away requires a separately purchased Wi-Fi gateway. It is designed for most American standard doors and installs with a screwdriver, while auto-lock and app-lock add basic control. Buyers should also note that the listing does not specify a precise door-thickness range.
Pros:- Offers app, password, key-fob, fingerprint, and physical-key entry.
- Stores up to 50 passwords and 50 fingerprints.
- Includes two physical keys and two key fobs.
- Designed for most American standard doors and screwdriver installation.
Cons:- Remote access requires a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway.
- App connection uses Bluetooth, limiting control to nearby use without the gateway.
- The provided product data does not specify a door-thickness range.
Best for: Households with a compatible standard door that want a knob-style fingerprint lock and nearby Bluetooth app control.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need built-in Wi-Fi, remote access without an add-on gateway, or a stated door-thickness fit range.
- Unlock methods:App, password, key fob, fingerprint, and physical key
- Connectivity:Bluetooth
- Stored passwords:Up to 50
- Stored fingerprints:Up to 50
- Remote access:Requires a separately sold Wi-Fi gateway
- Locking options:Auto-lock, app-lock, or long press of the check button
- Door compatibility:Most American standard doors
- Included access items:2 physical keys and 2 key fobs
Our verdict“Choose Yamiry for a multi-method knob lock with local Bluetooth app control, but choose the Philips deadbolt if hub-free remote access is a must.”
How We Picked
I compared these 15 locks on the factors that affect everyday entry: fingerprint access, lock format, alternative entry methods, connectivity, installation fit, and the amount of smart-home setup each model may involve. I gave more weight to products whose listed features address a clear buyer need—such as built-in Wi-Fi, Matter support, or a combined handle and lock—than to a long feature list without a distinct advantage. I also treated mechanical keys, keypad access, and compatibility details as meaningful parts of the choice, since biometric entry is only useful when the lock fits the door and offers a workable fallback.
The ranking favors a strong balance of useful access options and practical versatility, then separates the rest by intended buyer. A connected deadbolt can rank ahead for a buyer who wants app control, while a handle-based model may be the better fit for someone replacing a complete entry set. I did not treat all products as direct substitutes: the best choice depends on whether a buyer needs a deadbolt, lever, or knob, and on the smart-home features they will actually use.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Fingerprint Door Locks
Before choosing among fingerprint door locks, I would start with the door and access routine—not the app feature list. The following checks can prevent a mismatch between a lock’s format, your existing hardware, and the way household members or guests enter.
Match the Lock Style to Your Existing Door
A deadbolt, lever handle, and door knob solve different hardware needs, even when all include a fingerprint reader. A deadbolt replacement usually leaves the existing handle in place, while a lock with a lever or knob may replace more of the door hardware. Check the door’s bore holes, backset, thickness, latch arrangement, and handle handing against the manufacturer’s fit details before ordering. A reversible handle can help with left- or right-handed doors, but it does not remove the need to verify dimensions. A common mistake is choosing by appearance first and discovering that the product’s lock format does not match the existing cutout. If you are replacing a full handle set, compare combined units such as the eufy C33 or Philips lever options with deadbolts that require separate handles.
Decide Which Access Methods You Actually Need
Fingerprint entry is convenient when regular users need quick access, but households rarely rely on one method alone. A keypad can help when a fingerprint is not recognized or when a guest needs temporary access; a key can provide a mechanical fallback if electronics fail. Think through who needs entry, how often access changes, and whether you want to share a code or manage permissions in an app. Do not assume every lock offers the same backup methods just because it has a fingerprint reader. Check the exact product listing for included keys, codes, app controls, and any limits on users or stored prints. For a rental or a home with frequent visitors, flexible access management may matter more than adding another biometric feature.
Treat Wi-Fi, Matter, and App Features as Separate Needs
Wi-Fi and Matter serve different purposes, so one should not stand in for the other in your decision. Wi-Fi can enable remote app features, while Matter support may help a lock fit a compatible smart-home system; support can vary with the controller and setup. The Wyze Bolt v2 and eufy C33 call out Wi-Fi, while the ULTRALOQ Bolt SE lists Matter support. Before buying, confirm whether remote control works directly or needs extra equipment, and check which app functions depend on a subscription or a particular ecosystem. A common overbuy is paying for connected features when you only need keypad and fingerprint entry at the door. If you do want automation, verify compatibility with your existing devices rather than relying on a general “smart” label.
Plan for Power, Backup Entry, and Maintenance
Biometric locks depend on electronic power and a working reader, so ask how the lock signals low battery and what entry options remain if power runs out. Read the product instructions for battery type, replacement access, and any emergency power method; these details vary by model. Keep a tested backup route available rather than waiting for a low-battery warning to act. Fingerprint readers can also be affected by moisture, dirt, worn skin, or a poorly positioned finger, which makes keypad or key access useful in everyday conditions. Avoid assuming a fingerprint sensor eliminates routine checks: batteries, codes, and app permissions still need attention. For a door used by children, older adults, or many guests, prioritize a fallback method they can operate reliably.
Compare Total Installation Work, Not Just the Lock Body
Installation complexity depends on the door and the product format, not simply on whether a lock is labeled smart. A deadbolt replacement may be straightforward when the existing dimensions match, while a combined handle can require more careful alignment and hardware changes. Check whether the package includes the pieces needed for your intended setup and whether the manufacturer recommends a particular door preparation. If you are replacing a working lock, confirm that the new unit preserves the function you need, such as a separate deadbolt or a full handle set. Buyers often overlook exterior trim, door handing, and the clearance between the handle and nearby molding. When fit is uncertain, verify measurements before purchase or plan for a locksmith rather than forcing a mismatched installation.
Pay More Only for Features That Change Your Routine
A higher-feature lock makes sense when its connectivity, access management, or integrated hardware solves a real problem. Matter support may appeal to a connected-home owner, while built-in Wi-Fi can be useful for someone who wants remote app access without a separate connectivity accessory. A simpler keypad-and-fingerprint model may be the more sensible choice for a door where local entry is all that matters. Compare the maintenance and setup burden alongside the feature list: more ways to connect can mean more settings, permissions, and compatibility checks. Avoid paying for voice or app features that your household will not use. The right spend is the one that improves daily access without creating extra complexity at the door.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a fingerprint deadbolt a better choice than a fingerprint lever or knob?
Neither format is automatically better; the right pick depends on what you are replacing. A deadbolt is suited to buyers who want to replace or upgrade the deadbolt while keeping a separate handle. A lever or knob lock can combine the entry hardware, which may suit a door where the full set needs replacement. Check the existing cutouts and the product’s fit requirements before choosing, since a mismatch can turn an otherwise suitable lock into an installation problem. Compare the Wyze or ULTRALOQ deadbolts with the eufy C33 or Philips lever models by hardware format first, then weigh connectivity and access features.
Do I need Wi-Fi in a fingerprint door lock?
No, not if local fingerprint or keypad entry meets your needs. Wi-Fi is useful when you want features such as remote app access, but the exact functions vary by model and may depend on network setup. The Wyze Bolt v2 and eufy C33 list Wi-Fi, while other locks in this roundup focus on different combinations of biometric and keypad access. Check whether a lock connects directly or needs additional equipment, and confirm that the app supports the controls you want. If you only need reliable entry at the door, a simpler model may avoid setup you would not use.
Should I choose Matter support or Wi-Fi for smart-home control?
Choose based on the system you already use and the control you expect. Wi-Fi can connect a lock to its app for certain remote features, while Matter is intended to support compatibility across participating smart-home products. The ULTRALOQ Bolt SE lists Matter support, but compatibility still depends on your controller and setup. A Wi-Fi label by itself does not promise integration with every smart-home platform, and Matter support does not mean every app feature works in every ecosystem. Check the manufacturer’s current compatibility details before buying, especially if automation is a deciding factor.
What should I measure before ordering a fingerprint door lock?
Measure the door thickness, backset, bore holes, and existing latch or deadbolt arrangement, then compare those measurements with the lock’s installation requirements. For a lever or knob model, also check door handing and any clearance issues near trim or nearby walls. A reversible handle can simplify handing, but it does not guarantee that the lock fits the rest of the door preparation. If you are replacing a complete handle set, make sure the product is designed for that configuration rather than assuming a deadbolt and handle are included together. When measurements are unclear, ask the manufacturer or an installer before ordering.
What backup access should I look for if fingerprint recognition fails?
Look for a backup method your household can use without relying on the fingerprint reader, such as a keypad or mechanical key, and confirm that it is included on the exact model. Fingerprints may not read reliably in every situation, including when a finger is wet, dirty, or difficult for the sensor to recognize. A keypad can help household members or guests who are not enrolled, while a key offers a mechanical alternative if the electronics stop working. Also check the lock’s low-battery warning and emergency-entry instructions. Keeping a backup route available is more useful than assuming biometric access will work every time.
Conclusion
For most buyers seeking a connected deadbolt, I would start with the Wyze Lock Bolt v2 as my best overall pick; the eufy C33 is the stronger match if built-in Wi-Fi and an integrated handle suit the door, while the ULTRALOQ Bolt SE is the pick for buyers who specifically want Matter support. For value, compare the simpler Veise, Yamiry, and Sifely models against your must-have access methods and door fit instead of paying for connectivity you will not use. Beginners should favor a lock format that matches existing hardware and offers familiar keypad or key backup, then verify measurements before installation. For a premium or smart-home-focused setup, prioritize the Philips Wi-Fi options or ULTRALOQ only after checking the app, ecosystem, and installation requirements. The best choice is the one whose format, fallback access, and connected features match your door and routine.
