Best Smart Lever Locks with Touchscreen Keypad

TL;DR: The Veise VE06‑L offers a Bluetooth‑enabled, touchscreen lever lock with five unlock methods, auto‑lock, and Alexa/Google Assistant support for just $78.22.

The standout spec is its flexible auto‑lock delay, which you can set anywhere from 5 to 900 seconds, and its robust user capacity of 250 passcodes plus over 1,000 RFID cards. Its IP54 rating means it can handle typical indoor humidity and the occasional splash, while the ANSI Grade 3 certification provides a solid baseline of security for residential use.

In this nine‑product roundup, the Veise lands on the budget end of the spectrum, undercutting the Yale Assure Lever Black, Ultraloq Latch 5, and Philips Wi‑Fi Smart Lever Lock. While those premium models list weights around 4–5 pounds, Veise’s weight isn’t listed, suggesting it may be lighter. Its maximum door thickness of 1.375 inches is narrower than the Schlage Encode Century Lever’s 1.75‑inch limit, so it fits slimmer doors but may not suit the thickest entryways that higher‑priced rivals accommodate.

Users consistently praise the straightforward DIY installation, noting that the process takes roughly 10‑15 minutes. Reviewers also highlight the responsive touchscreen keypad with anti‑peeping PIN design and the convenience of the DDlock app for eKey generation and access logs. Professional reviewers commend the multi‑method access, while everyday owners appreciate the ability to grant temporary codes to renters or Airbnb guests. The main complaints revolve around the need to buy a separate G2 Wi‑Fi Gateway for remote control and the fact that four AA batteries aren’t included, adding extra cost after purchase.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry‑level option — the Veise VE06‑L is available at $78.22

Avoid if: You need native Wi‑Fi connectivity without extra hardware or require the highest Grade 1 security level.

TL;DR: The Schlage Encode Century Lever costs $252.14, offers built‑in Wi‑Fi, a touchscreen keypad for up to 100 codes, and a AAA‑grade security rating, making it a solid premium smart lock for keyless entry.

What really sets this lock apart is its built‑in Wi‑Fi, so you can lock or unlock from the Schlage Home app without any extra hub. The touchscreen keypad can store 100 unique access codes, and the unit fits a standard 2.13‑inch cross‑bore while sitting 5.875 inches tall and 3.0 inches wide.

Compared with the other eight contenders, the Encode Century Lever weighs the same as the Schlage Encode Accent Lever (both 4.25 pounds) and is lighter than the Yale Assure Lock 2 Wi‑Fi Black, which tips the scales at about 6 pounds. Unlike the Yale Assure Lock Black that needs a bridge or module for full Wi‑Fi functionality, the Encode’s Wi‑Fi works straight out of the box, putting it ahead of models that require extra hardware. It also sits at a higher price point than the Philips Wi‑Fi Smart Lever Lock, but it brings a full‑size lever and a more robust AAA BHMA security rating.

Homeowners consistently praise the lock’s reliable remote access and the convenience of voice commands through Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. Professional reviewers highlight the built‑in alarm and the 5‑pin C keyway as strong deterrents against forced entry. On the downside, users note that the four AAA batteries can drain quickly in high‑traffic situations, and the lack of an explicit IP weather rating leaves outdoor durability a bit uncertain. Some also mention occasional hiccups with Wi‑Fi connectivity in fringe‑area apartments.

Beyond the smart features, the Encode Century Lever carries an ANSI/BHMA AAA security grade, a lifetime mechanical and finish warranty plus three years for the electronics, and concealed screws for a clean look. The lock is reversible for left‑ or right‑handed doors and supports auto‑lock and auto‑relock with a customizable delay.

Best for: Buyers willing to invest in a proven, high‑quality option — the Schlage Encode Century Lever offers Cross Bore Diameter: 2.13 inches

Avoid if: You're on a tight budget, need an outdoor‑rated lock, or have consistently weak Wi‑Fi coverage

TL;DR: The Schlage Encode Accent Lever offers Grade 1 security, built‑in 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and a 100‑code keypad, but its premium price and AA‑battery power may limit budget‑focused buyers.

The lock’s standout spec is its 100‑code user capacity paired with a fingerprint‑resistant capacitive touchscreen, letting you store up to 100 access codes without a separate deadbolt. It also supports auto‑lock with adjustable delay and can be powered by four AA alkaline batteries, while the exterior dimensions (149 mm height, 76 mm width, 76 mm depth) keep the lever compact enough for most residential doors.

Compared with the eight other smart lever locks in this roundup, the Encode Accent Lever sits at the higher end of the price spectrum and is lighter than the Yale Assure Lock 2 Wi‑Fi Black, which weighs about 6.0 lb. It is heavier than the budget‑friendly Veise VE06‑L, but still matches the Schlage Encode Century Lever’s weight of 4.25 lb, offering similar heft without sacrificing the built‑in Wi‑Fi that the Veise model only offers as an optional gateway.

Customer feedback highlights the illuminated keypad and lever design as convenient for daily use, especially on garage or side doors where a deadbolt isn’t practical. Reviewers also note that the lock’s reliance on a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network can be a snag in homes with only 5 GHz routers. Professional reviewers commend its Commercial Grade 1 (ANSI/BHMA A156.36) certification, reversible lever for left‑ or right‑handed doors, and ADA compliance, underscoring Schlage’s long‑standing reputation for durability.

Technical details round out the picture: the lock works from –35 °C to 66 °C outdoors and –10 °C to 49 °C indoors, supports Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands, and includes a low‑battery alert. The backset can be set to either 60 mm or 70 mm (2.36 in or 2.76 in), fitting a wide range of door preparations, while the 5‑pin tumbler count and C keyway add mechanical robustness.

Best for: Buyers willing to invest in a proven, high‑quality option — the Schlage Encode Accent Lever offers Backset: 60 mm or 70 mm

Avoid if: You're on a tight budget or only need basic functionality

TL;DR: The Ultraloq Latch 5 packs built‑in Wi‑Fi 6, a 99.8% accurate 360° fingerprint sensor and 5‑in‑1 entry at 5.5 lb for $135.99, making it a solid mid‑tier smart lever lock.

The standout spec is the built‑in Wi‑Fi 6 module that runs on the 2.4 GHz band, so you get remote access without any extra bridge or hub. Pair that with a 0.3‑second unlock time and a 99.8% fingerprint accuracy, and the lock feels instant and reliable right out of the box.

In the nine‑product lineup, its $135.99 price lands it in the middle: it’s pricier than the Veise VE06‑L but cheaper than the Yale Assure Lock 2 Wi‑Fi Black. At 5.5 pounds, it’s heavier than the Schlage Encode Century Lever (4.25 lb) yet lighter than the Yale Assure Lock 2 (6.0 lb). Its 7.0‑inch height also tops the Yale Assure Lever Black’s 6.06‑inch profile, giving it a more substantial presence on the door.

Users consistently praise the quick fingerprint recognition once the Edge AI sensor finishes its learning phase, and they like the intuitive app for scheduling guest e‑keys. Professional reviewers note the ANSI A156.36 Grade 1 rating and the 35× strength multiplier as strong security credentials. A recurring complaint is that the fingerprint reader can struggle with moisture or dirt, leading to occasional retries, and the lack of a disclosed battery‑life figure leaves power‑budget planning vague.

Beyond the Wi‑Fi, the lock offers Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, a touchscreen keypad with anti‑peep protection, and voice‑assistant support for Alexa, Google Assistant and HomeKit. It carries an IP65 rating for weather resistance and a 1.5‑year electronic warranty on top of a lifetime mechanical guarantee, reinforcing its durability claim.

Best for: Entry-level buyers or those on a tight budget — the Ultraloq Latch 5 offers WiFi Frequency: 2.4GHz

Avoid if: You need powerful performance or professional‑grade features

TL;DR: The Yale Assure Lever Black costs $135.00, offers a touchscreen keypad, auto‑lock, and a solid Grade 2 security rating, but requires optional modules for full smart‑home integration.

This lock’s most distinctive dimensions are its compact profile – a depth of 1.38 in, a height of 6.06 in, and a width of 2.75 in – which let it fit neatly on single‑hole doors. It features a backlit touchscreen keypad, auto‑lock and auto‑relock functions, and a mechanical key override with two keys included. The unit supports up to 25 user codes and works on doors 1.38–1.75 in thick, with an adjustable backset of 2.36–2.76 in.

At $135.00, the Assure Lever sits in the same price range as the Ultraloq Latch 5, yet its 3.7/5 star rating trails the Philips Wi‑Fi Smart Lever Lock’s perfect 5.0/5 score and the Schlage Century’s 4.2/5 rating. Unlike those models, Yale’s smart‑home features are not built‑in; you need to purchase a separate Z‑Wave, Zigbee, or August module, which can push the total cost higher than some peers.

Reviewers appreciate that the lock eliminates the need for a separate deadbolt on single‑hole doors and that its ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification signals strong resistance to forced entry. Professional reviewers also note the gasketed construction for added durability. On the downside, users point out the limited 25‑code capacity without a network module and the extra expense of optional connectivity accessories.

Technical details round out the picture: the lock runs on four AA batteries with a low‑battery alert, offers reversible handing, and carries a lifetime limited warranty on finish and mechanical parts plus a one‑year electronics warranty. Its operating temperature range from –25 °C to 60 °C and humidity tolerance up to 95 % make it suitable for most climates.

Best for: Entry-level buyers or those on a tight budget — the Yale Assure Lever Black offers Keys Included: 2

Avoid if: You need powerful performance or professional‑grade features

TL;DR: The Yale Assure Lock Black costs $249.99, earns 4.5 / 5 stars from 85 reviewers, and packs a touchscreen, auto‑lock, voice‑assistant support and a 15,000 mAh rechargeable‑battery option into a 3175 g package.

This lock’s most eye‑catching spec is the optional 15,000 mAh rechargeable battery that can back‑up the four AA cells, giving you a safety net when the primary batteries run low. It also offers six‑month battery life on standard AA alkaline cells, BLE Bluetooth for auto‑unlock, and true‑grade 2 ANSI/BHMA security. The backlit touchscreen keypad, auto‑lock/relock and low‑battery alerts round out a feature set aimed at everyday convenience.

At roughly 7 lb (3175 g), it’s heavier than the Schlage Encode Century Lever, which weighs 4.25 lb, yet lighter than Yale’s own Assure Lock 2 Wi‑Fi Black at 6 lb. Its unlimited user‑code capacity outstrips the 100‑code limits of the Schlage Encode models and the 50‑fingerprint slots of the Philips Wi‑Fi Smart Lever. Unlike many competitors, Yale bundles built‑in Wi‑Fi (via the included bridge) so you don’t need a separate hub, though full Z‑Wave automation still requires a hub.

Users consistently applaud the lock’s straightforward installation and the reliability of its touchscreen. Professional reviewers note the “seamless smart‑home integration” and appreciate the two‑layer encryption plus two‑factor authentication. The most common gripe is the need to replace four AA batteries roughly every six months, and a few owners have mentioned occasional hiccups when pairing the optional Z‑Wave module.

Beyond the basics, the lock supports Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri, offers a physical key override, and can sense door position with DoorSense. Its ANSI Grade 2 rating places it solidly in the mid‑range security tier, while the unlimited code capacity makes it a flexible choice for families or short‑term rentals.

Best for: Most users seeking a balanced, mainstream option — the Yale Assure Lock Black offers Package Weight: 3175 g.

Avoid if: You need advanced biometric features or prefer a purely mechanical key system.

TL;DR: For $147.75, the Schlage Century delivers Grade 2 ANSI security, a 1‑inch latch housing, and a 19‑code touchscreen, but it lacks smart‑home connectivity.

The lock’s most distinctive spec is its 1‑inch latch housing diameter paired with a matching 1‑inch latch throw, giving the lever a solid, “always‑unlocked” interior feel. It also carries a Grade 2 ANSI/BHMA security rating, which reviewers cite as “100 % pick‑proof and bump‑proof.” With a 24‑month battery life on a 9V alkaline cell and a low‑battery alert, the device promises long‑term reliability without frequent changes.

Compared with the eight other locks in this roundup, the Schlage Century is lighter than the Ultraloq Latch 5 (which weighs 5.5 pounds) and roughly the same weight as the Schlage Encode Century Lever (about 4.25 pounds). Its 19‑code capacity is modest; several peers list higher capacities, so it offers fewer user slots than many alternatives. The lock also stands out for having no smart‑home integration—no Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, or app control—while competitors such as the Philips Wi‑Fi Smart Lever Lock and Veise VE06‑L provide full app and voice‑assistant support.

Everyday owners praise the convenience of keyless entry and the sleek, solid‑brass construction that blends with modern doors. Professional reviewers highlight the touchscreen’s reliability and the robust warranty (lifetime mechanical plus three‑year electronics). Common complaints revolve around the touchscreen freezing in cold or wet conditions, occasional false low‑battery alerts, and the limited 19‑code capacity, which can feel restrictive for larger households.

Technically, the lock features selectable auto‑lock and auto‑relock functions, a 9V jump‑start backup power option, and LED illumination for both the keypad and lever. The backset is universal at 2‑3⁄8 inches, fitting most standard doors, and the unit supports doors 1‑3⁄8 to 1‑3⁄4 inches thick. Its three‑year electronics warranty adds peace of mind for the price point.

Best for: Value-conscious buyers seeking quality at $147.75 — the Schlage Century offers Latch Housing Diameter: 1 inch

Avoid if: You need extensive smart‑home connectivity or a high code capacity for commercial‑grade traffic

TL;DR: Yale’s Assure Lock 2 Wi‑Fi Black packs a touchscreen, fingerprint scanner, and built‑in Wi‑Fi, but its premium $306.27 price and limited 15‑30 ft range make it a high‑end choice for tech‑savvy homes.

This lock’s standout feature is the integrated Wi‑Fi bridge, giving you direct control without a separate hub and a range of 15-30 feet. It also supports up to 250 user codes and an adjustable backset of 60-70 mm, letting multiple family members or guests get their own PINs while fitting a variety of door preparations. At 6.0 pounds, the unit feels solid, and the 0.875‑inch depth keeps it low‑profile on the door.

Compared with the other eight lever locks in the roundup, the Yale sits on the heavier side—heavier than the Schlage Encode models, which are lighter. It also offers a larger user‑code capacity than the Schlage Encode (100 codes) and the Veise VE06-L (unspecified). While many competitors rely on external hubs, Yale’s built‑in Wi‑Fi eliminates that extra purchase, positioning it as a more self‑contained solution.

Users consistently praise the fast fingerprint recognition and the convenience of sharing access codes through the Yale Access app. Professional reviewers highlight the intuitive touchscreen and reliable activity logs. However, several owners note that the Wi‑Fi range can feel restrictive, especially in larger homes, and the DoorSense sensor sometimes misaligns, causing occasional app hiccups. The lock runs on four AA batteries with an estimated one‑year life, and the low‑battery alert helps avoid lockouts, though the lack of a rechargeable option means you’ll need periodic replacements.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Yale Assure Lock 2 Wi‑Fi Black offers Backset: Adjustable 60-70 mm

Avoid if: You're shopping on a tight budget — it's priced at $306.27

TL;DR: The Philips Wi‑Fi Smart Lever Lock delivers 0.3‑second fingerprint access, >270‑minute pick resistance and full app control for $199.99, making it a high‑tech yet affordable entry solution.

What really stands out is the lock’s semiconductor fingerprint sensor, which reads a print in just 0.3 seconds and works from a full 360° angle. Coupled with a touchscreen keypad that stores up to 100 PIN codes and a master PIN, the device lets you unlock with a glance, a tap or a spoken command.

At $199.99, it sits above budget‑friendly options like the Veise VE06‑L and Ultraloq Latch 5, yet it’s cheaper than premium models such as the Yale Assure Lock 2 Wi‑Fi Black. Its physical dimensions—5.86 inches high, 6.17 inches long and 2.09 inches wide—are comparable to the Schlage Encode Century Lever’s 5.875‑inch height, while still fitting a standard door thickness.

Professional reviewers praise the “seamless ease of use” that comes from four unlock methods and the anti‑peep keypad design. Users consistently note the convenience of sharing temporary PINs through the Philips Home Access app and the peace of mind from the built‑in low‑battery alert. The lock’s C‑grade cylinder and >270‑minute pick resistance reinforce its security credentials, and the IPX5 rating means rain won’t short‑circuit the electronics.

Best for: Most users seeking a balanced, mainstream option — the Philips Wi‑Fi Smart Lever Lock offers Pick Resistance: >270 minutes
