Best Smart Lock Controllers with Fingerprint Authentication

TL;DR: The Sifely Smart Lock costs $67.97, weighs 3.6 lbs, and packs 200 fingerprint slots plus multiple unlock methods, making it a high‑capacity budget pick for interior doors.

The lock’s standout spec is its 200‑plus fingerprint capacity, backed by a 3rd‑generation 3D sensor that unlocks in under 0.3 seconds under ideal conditions. It also stores more than 150 passcodes and over 200 key fob or card credentials, giving households plenty of options for family members and guests. The device weighs 3.6 lbs, measures 7.0 inches long, 3.0 inches wide and 1.12 inches high, and fits standard doors with a 2 1/8‑inch bore.

Compared with the other eleven locks, Sifely is a bit heavier than the Ultraloq U‑Bolt (3.0 lbs) and Wyze Bolt (2.75 lbs), but it outstrips them in user‑data capacity—Wyze stores only 50 fingerprints and Desloc B200 stores 50, while Sifely handles 200+. Its price of $67.97 sits alongside the Ultraloq’s $66.49 and Yamiry’s $64.50, yet it offers a richer feature set than those models, which list fewer unlock methods. The lock also includes an anti‑peeping keypad overlay and white‑box cryptography, features not mentioned for the peers.

Consumers praise the lock for its straightforward installation (no drilling required, 10–20 minutes with a Phillips screwdriver) and the convenience of multiple entry options, especially for families with children or elderly members. Professional reviewers note the solid zinc‑alloy construction and reliable Bluetooth connection within the home range. The main complaint is that the fingerprint sensor slows down noticeably when fingers are wet, dirty, or greasy, and the product lacks an explicit weather‑proof rating, making it less suited for fully exposed exterior doors.

Technical details add further confidence: the lock runs on four AA batteries with a claimed one‑year lifespan, supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant via a separate Wi‑Fi gateway, and includes auto‑lock and emergency physical key override. Encryption is handled with white‑box cryptography, and the anti‑peeping code helps prevent shoulder‑surfing on the keypad.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option — the Sifely Smart Lock offers Fingerprint Capacity: 200

Avoid if: You need a lock for fully exposed exterior doors in harsh weather

TL;DR: The Ultraloq Bolt blends Matter‑over‑Thread connectivity, a 360° fingerprint scanner and IP65 weatherproofing into a solid‑grade deadbolt that feels premium at $169.99, though it leans on a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi link and a bulkier body.

The lock’s standout spec is its native Matter support over both Wi‑Fi and Thread, letting you control it from Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa without a separate hub. It also packs a 360° fingerprint sensor, an anti‑peep keypad and up to 50 access codes, all sealed behind an IP65‑rated zinc‑alloy case. At 2.96 inches deep, 2.96 inches high and 1.35 inches wide, it weighs 3.4 pounds, giving it a sturdy, premium feel.

Compared with the other eleven contenders, the Bolt is heavier than the Wyze Bolt (2.75 lb) and the eufy C220 (2.5 lb), and taller than the Veise VE07‑H (1.4 inches high). Its 50‑code limit falls short of Veise’s 250+ capacity, but most rivals don’t list Matter or Thread support, so the Bolt’s cross‑platform compatibility stands out. It also avoids the extra gateway some Veise models need, keeping installation simpler than those that require a separate hub.

Reviewers consistently praise the seamless Apple Home integration and the convenience of remote lock/unlock via the U‑home app. The DIY install is described as straightforward, and users like the added security of 128‑bit AES encryption and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification. On the downside, the lock only works with 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi, which can be a snag for homes that favor 5 GHz networks, and a few owners note the bulkier dimensions make retrofitting older doors a bit trickier. Professional reviewers also highlight the efficient power draw of Thread, which helps the eight AA batteries last for months.

Best for: Buyers willing to invest in a proven, high-quality option — the Ultraloq Bolt offers Access Codes Capacity: Up to 50

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

TL;DR: For $98.48, the eufy Smart Lock C220 delivers built‑in Wi‑Fi, sub‑0.3 s fingerprint access and a 15‑minute, drill‑free install, offering solid mid‑range security and convenience.

The lock’s most eye‑catching spec is its hub‑free Wi‑Fi connectivity, so you won’t need a separate bridge to link it with Matter, Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home or Samsung SmartThings. Fingerprint recognition runs in under <0.3 seconds and the unit supports six unlock methods—including a backlit anti‑peep keypad and a physical key. Installation is rated at just 15 minutes and requires no drilling, which many reviewers cite as a major time‑saver.

Compared with the other eleven contenders, the C220 sits a bit higher in price than entry‑level options like the Wyze Bolt, yet it’s lighter than Wyze’s 2.75‑lb model and considerably lighter than the Sifely Smart Lock’s 3.6 lb heft. Its 4.41‑inch height makes it taller than the Veise VE07‑L’s 3.6‑inch profile, while the 4.49‑inch width is broader than the slim 2‑inch width of the Philips Smart Lock. Fingerprint capacity matches most peers at 50 prints, but falls short of Sifely’s 200‑print limit. Overall, it offers more built‑in smart features than many Bluetooth‑only rivals.

Customers repeatedly praise the “zero lockout anxiety” that comes from having a reliable physical key backup, and they love how quickly the AI‑driven fingerprint sensor improves with use. Professional reviewers highlight the BHMA Grade 3 rating and the lock’s robust 2000 N pressure resistance, along with its IP53 rating for dust and splash protection. The downside that surfaces most often is the need to replace eight AA batteries roughly every eight months, with no rechargeable option, and the fact that the physical key cannot be rekeyed, limiting long‑term customization.

Best for: Most users looking for a well‑reviewed, reliable mainstream option — the eufy Smart Lock C220 offers Fingerprint Capacity: 50 fingerprints

Avoid if: You need advanced features or professional‑grade performance, or you prefer rechargeable battery solutions

TL;DR: The Yamiry Smart Knob costs $64.50, offers 100 fingerprint slots, five keyless entry methods and DIY install, making it a solid budget pick despite needing a separate Wi‑Fi gateway.

The standout spec is its 100‑fingerprint capacity, double the 50‑slot limit of many budget rivals. It also packs five unlock methods—fingerprint, keypad (6‑9‑digit code), IC card, smartphone app, mechanical key—and supports Alexa voice via a gateway. Its exterior assembly measures just 0.79 inches high, 5.5 inches long and 2.95 inches wide, giving it a compact profile for standard American front doors.

Compared with the other eleven locks, Yamiry sits at a similar price point to the Ultraloq U‑Bolt 5‑in‑1 Black but is more compact than the Sifely Smart Lock’s 7.0‑inch length. Its 100‑fingerprint slots outpace the Desloc B200, Wyze Bolt and Veise VE07‑L, which each store 50 fingerprints, yet it falls short of Sifely’s 200‑slot capacity. Unlike Sifely, Yamiry lacks native Wi‑Fi and relies on a separate gateway for remote access—an approach it shares with the Desloc B200, which also requires a gateway. The knob style differs from the deadbolt designs of Ultraloq and Philips, which may affect perceived security for high‑risk entry points.

Users consistently praise the convenience of having multiple entry options and note that the fingerprint scanner works reliably for kids and guests. Professional reviewers highlight the privacy mode that blocks non‑admin access from the outside and the anti‑peep keypad that masks PIN entry. The most common complaints revolve around installation quirks—specifically latch alignment issues that can cause the lock to bind—and occasional Bluetooth pairing hiccups that require a reset. Battery life is listed at 6‑9 months on four AA alkaline cells, with a low‑battery indicator built into the app, and the unit operates on a 5 V micro‑USB emergency input.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry‑level option — the Yamiry Smart Knob offers Fingerprint Capacity: 100

Avoid if: You want the best value‑per‑dollar in its price range

TL;DR: For $79.98, the Wyze Bolt delivers Bluetooth‑only keyless entry with a 16‑ft range, 2.75 lb weight, 20‑minute install and storage for 50 fingerprints, making it a solid mid‑range smart lock.

The standout spec is its Bluetooth range of 16 ft, which lets you lock or unlock the door from a short distance without any hub. The lock also offers a backlit anti‑peep keypad, door‑jam detection, and a tamper alarm that triggers after five failed attempts, all backed by local data storage.

At $79.98, the Wyze Bolt is priced similarly to the Philips Smart Lock, but it weighs 2.75 lb—noticeably heavier than Philips’s 1.4 lb yet lighter than the Sifely Smart Lock’s 3.6 lb and the Ultraloq’s 3.0 lb. Its fingerprint storage of 50 users matches the capacity listed for Veise and eufy, while Philips doesn’t list a fingerprint feature at all. Unlike Veise’s Wi‑Fi‑enabled model, the Wyze Bolt remains Bluetooth‑only, which keeps the price down but limits remote control.

Users consistently praise the quick 20‑minute installation and the reliable fingerprint unlock that works in under 1 second. The backlit keypad and app‑based event history are also highlighted as convenient. On the downside, reviewers note that the 16‑ft Bluetooth range can feel restrictive for remote access, and the reliance on four AA batteries sometimes leads to faster drain, especially with frequent use. Professional reviewers point out the BHMA and UL 20‑minute fire‑rated certifications as solid security credentials, while the IPX5 rating suggests the lock is splash‑proof but not suited for direct outdoor exposure.

Best for: Most users looking for a well‑reviewed, reliable mainstream option — the Wyze Bolt offers Bluetooth Range: 16 ft

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

TL;DR: The Ultraloq U‑Bolt 5‑in‑1 Black packs Matter‑over‑Thread, five keyless entry options and IP65 protection into a 3.0 lb deadbolt for under $70.

The standout feature is its Matter‑over‑Thread support, letting you link the lock directly to Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa without a separate hub. It also offers five entry methods—360° capacitive fingerprint sensor (up to 120 fingerprints), backlit anti‑peep keypad (up to 50‑60 PINs), NFC/Apple Home Key (up to 50 cards/keys), Bluetooth LE app control and two mechanical keys. The lock’s IP65 rating and 128‑bit AES encryption give you weather resistance and solid data security, while a battery life of up to 1 year (≈8000 accesses) keeps maintenance low.

Compared with the other eleven models, the Ultraloq sits in the middle of the weight range: lighter than the Sifely Smart Lock (3.6 lbs) but a touch heavier than Wyze Bolt (2.75 lbs) and Philips Smart Lock (1.4 lbs). Its fingerprint capacity of 120 sits below Sifely’s 200 but above Wyze’s 50, Desloc’s 50 and Veise’s 50. Unlike many peers, it includes Thread (Matter) and optional Z‑Wave Plus, while Wyze and Philips rely solely on Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi. The backset is adjustable (2‑3/8″ or 2‑3/4″), a flexibility not listed for most competitors.

Users consistently praise the hands‑free unlock for grocery trips and the convenience of multiple access methods. Professional reviewers note the refreshed facelift and improved geofencing auto‑unlock, though they also point out that remote status checks and smart auto‑lock often need an optional Wi‑Fi or Z‑Wave bridge. Some owners mention that battery requirements can differ between models—some ships with four AA cells, others with eight—so checking the exact configuration before purchase is wise.

Technical extras include a configurable auto‑lock timer ranging from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, a micro‑USB backup power port, and voice‑assistant integration with Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings. The lock’s exterior dimensions (2.96 × 2.96 × 1.23 in) fit standard doors, and the lifetime mechanical warranty paired with an 18‑month electronic warranty adds peace of mind.

TL;DR: The eufy Video Smart Lock S330 packs a 2K camera, 150° view, 10 000 mAh battery and 50‑fingerprint slots into a single lock, but its $244.99 price and 5.51 lb weight make it a premium choice.

The S330’s standout feature is its all‑in‑one design: a 2K HD camera with a 150° field of view, 2‑way audio and a built‑in video doorbell, all behind a deadbolt that holds up to 50 fingerprints. A 10 000 mAh rechargeable battery promises up to 365 days of operation, and the unit weighs 5.51 lb, giving it a solid, durable feel.

Compared with the other eleven locks in this roundup, the S330 is heavier than the Ultraloq Bolt (3.4 lb) and the Wyze Bolt (2.75 lb), but its fingerprint capacity matches the 50‑fingerprint slots found in the Veise VE07‑H, Veise VE07‑L, eufy C220 and Wyze Bolt. None of the peers list a built‑in camera, so the S330’s 2K video and 150° view are unique selling points.

Users repeatedly praise the near‑instant 0.3‑second fingerprint unlock and the reliable year‑long battery life. Professional reviewers note the AI detection accuracy of 99% and a 95% reduction in false alarms, which makes everyday alerts feel trustworthy. Common complaints focus on the extra step of installing a microSD card for local storage, the limitation to 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi, and the heft of the unit during installation.

Beyond the lock, the S330 carries a BHMA certification and an IP65 rating, so it can withstand harsh weather from –30 °C to 70 °C. Local storage supports up to 128 GB via microSD, and there’s no subscription fee for video recordings.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the eufy Video Smart Lock S330 3-in-1 offers Fingerprint Capacity: 50

Avoid if: You need 5 GHz Wi‑Fi support or prefer a lighter, slimmer lock design.

TL;DR: The Philips Smart Lock weighs 1.4 lb, offers built‑in Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, and unlocks fingerprints in 0.3 seconds, making keyless entry fast and hub‑free for under $80.

What really sets this lock apart is its dual‑connectivity: built‑in Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth let you control the deadbolt from the Philips Home Access app without any external hub. The fingerprint sensor reads a print in just 0.3 seconds and supports up to 20 users, while the auto‑lock timer can be set anywhere from 10 to 180 seconds. At 1.4 pounds, the unit is compact enough to fit most standard doors (backset 2‑3/8 or 2‑3/4 in, door thickness 1‑3/8 to 2 in) without adding noticeable bulk.

Compared with the other eleven locks in this roundup, the Philips model is lighter than the Wyze Bolt (2.75 lb) and far lighter than the Sifely Smart Lock (3.6 lb) or Ultraloq U‑Bolt (3.0 lb). Its fingerprint capacity of 20 is lower than Wyze’s 50 and Sifely’s 200, but its built‑in Wi‑Fi gives it an edge over models that need a separate gateway, such as the Veise VE07‑L. The lock also supports Alexa and Google Assistant, putting it on par with the voice‑ready competitors while staying in the same price tier.

Users appreciate the “hub‑free” convenience highlighted by professional reviewers, noting that the rapid 0.3‑second fingerprint response feels snappy at the front door. The inclusion of alarms for low battery, wrong entry, and jam adds a layer of peace of mind, and the remote‑access feature lets you lock or unlock the door from anywhere. However, the lock runs on eight AA batteries (not supplied) and offers no emergency backup power, a point that some owners find inconvenient. Its ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 rating is solid for residential use but falls short of commercial‑grade expectations.

Technical details reinforce its reliability: AES‑128 encryption secures communications, and local storage keeps entry logs on‑device. The deadbolt type, combined with auto‑lock and three operating modes (Manual, Auto, Away Security), provides flexibility for daily routines. With an operating temperature range of –35 °C to 66 °C and humidity tolerance up to 95 %, the lock can handle most climate conditions without issue.

TL;DR: The Desloc B200 delivers sub‑0.3‑second fingerprint unlock, 12‑month battery life, and IP54 durability for just $49.98, making it a solid, budget‑friendly smart lock with versatile access options.

The standout spec is its fingerprint recognition speed of < 0.3 seconds, which professional reviewers call “incredible” for a lock in this price range. Battery life is listed at 12 months using four AA cells, and the lock carries an IP54 rating, so it can handle rain or dust without a problem.

At about 2.03 lb, the B200 is lighter than the Ultraloq (3.0 lb) and Sifely (3.6 lb) models, yet heavier than the Philips lock (1.4 lb). Its Bluetooth range is limited to 2 meters, noticeably shorter than Wyze Bolt’s 16 ft range. Fingerprint capacity sits at 50 entries, matching Veise’s count but far below Sifely’s 200‑plus slots.

User sentiment highlights the rapid fingerprint unlock and the convenience of six unlocking methods—fingerprint, PIN, app, eKey, IC card, and mechanical key. The downside, echoed by both consumers and experts, is that remote control, Alexa or Google Voice Assistant integration requires a separately purchased G2 Gateway, and the short Bluetooth range can be restrictive. Batteries are not supplied, so you’ll need to stock AA cells yourself. Additional features include anti‑peeping mode, scheduled and temporary access codes, BHMA Grade 3 security, and an auto‑lock timer adjustable from 5 to 900 seconds, all operating between –30 °C and 70 °C.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option — the Desloc B200 offers Fingerprint Capacity: 50

TL;DR: The Veise VE07‑H Matte Black delivers fast 0.3‑second fingerprint entry, 250+ access codes, and IP65 waterproofing at $119.99, making it a feature‑rich smart deadbolt for standard doors.

The lock’s standout spec is its ability to store over 250 access codes while recognizing a fingerprint in just 0.3 seconds. It supports eight unlock methods—including app, fingerprint, Apple Watch, web portal, PIN, eKey, key fob, and a mechanical key—so you can choose the most convenient way to get in. Its compact dimensions (1.4 in H × 6.1 in L × 2.7 in W) let it blend into most door frames without bulky protrusion.

At $119.99, the VE07‑H sits above budget options like the Wyze Bolt ($79.98) and the Philips Smart Lock with Handle ($115.99), but it offers a richer feature set than those models. Compared with the eufy Smart Lock C220, which measures 4.41 in in height, the Veise’s 1.4‑inch height is notably slimmer, and its 2.7‑inch width is narrower than eufy’s 4.49‑inch width, giving it a sleeker profile on the door.

Professional reviewers praise the lock’s versatile 7‑in‑1 unlocking options and the reliable auto‑lock that you can set anywhere from 5 to 900 seconds. Users repeatedly note the convenience of anti‑peep PIN entry and the privacy mode that blocks standard PINs and RFID unless you’re an admin. The most common complaint is a loud sound when the bolt engages, which can be distracting in quiet homes. The manufacturer lists an IP65 rating, a corrosion‑resistant aluminum housing, and a zinc‑alloy handle, ensuring durability for outdoor exposure.

Best for: Buyers willing to invest in a proven, high-quality option — the Veise VE07-H Matte Black offers Fingerprint Capacity: 50

TL;DR: The Veise VE07-L costs $89.99, offers 7‑in‑1 access, 99.9% fingerprint accuracy and up to 250 user codes, making it a well‑rated, feature‑rich lock for shared homes.

The lock’s standout spec is its fingerprint system: it reads prints in 0.2 seconds with a manufacturer‑claimed 99.9% accuracy, and you can store up to 50 fingerprints. Auto‑lock can be set for up to 3 minutes, and the backlit touchscreen keypad stays visible in low‑light conditions. Its physical size—3.6 inches tall, 12.6 inches long and 7.1 inches wide—gives it a solid presence on most front doors.

Compared with the other eleven contenders, the VE07‑L is longer than the eufy Smart Lock C220’s 7.67‑inch depth and taller than the Wyze Bolt’s 2.6‑inch height. Its 12.6‑inch length also exceeds the Philips Smart Lock’s 6‑inch length and the Sifely Smart Lock’s 1.12‑inch height. While its fingerprint capacity (50) matches the eufy and Wyze models, it outpaces Wyze’s 20‑code storage limit and rivals the Sifely’s 200‑fingerprint capacity. The auto‑lock timer of up to 3 minutes is longer than Philips’ 10‑180 second range.

Users repeatedly note how straightforward the initial fingerprint and code setup is, praising the intuitive app and the visibility of the backlit keypad. Professional reviewers highlight the reliable fingerprint recognition after the required eight‑scan registration. The most common complaint is the need for a separate Veise G2 gateway to unlock full Wi‑Fi and Alexa/Google Home integration, which adds extra cost and a multi‑step pairing process.

Best for: Most users looking for a well‑reviewed, reliable mainstream option — the Veise VE07-L offers Fingerprint Capacity: 50

Avoid if: You are battery‑averse or prefer a fully wired solution

TL;DR: The Philips Smart Lock with Handle offers hub‑free 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi, a swift 0.3‑second fingerprint scanner, and 100 PIN codes, but its premium $115.99 price and 20‑fingerprint limit keep it in the higher‑end niche.

What really stands out is the built‑in 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi that lets you control the lock from the Philips Home Access app without a separate hub. The lock’s fingerprint sensor registers a print in just 0.3 seconds, and the AES128 encryption keeps your data local. At 1.5 inches high, 6.0 inches long and 2.2 inches wide, the unit sits comfortably on a standard door and fits the 1‑3/8″ to 2″ thickness range.

Compared with the other eleven contenders, the Philips model is a bit taller than the Veise VE07‑H’s 1.4‑inch height, yet far more compact than the eufy C220’s 4.41‑inch height and 7.67‑inch depth. Its 6.0‑inch length matches the earlier Philips Smart Lock (B0F5QKCD3S) and is shorter than the Veise VE07‑L’s 12.6‑inch length. While the Veise VE07‑H and Wyze Bolt both list a 0.3‑second fingerprint speed, Philips offers fewer fingerprint slots—20 versus 50 on those rivals—making it less suitable for large households.

Users consistently praise the effortless app experience, voice‑assistant integration with Alexa and Google Assistant, and the auto‑lock timer that can be set anywhere from 10 to 180 seconds. Reviewers also note the convenience of 100 user PINs and a master PIN, which simplifies guest access. On the downside, the lock relies on eight AA batteries with no emergency power backup, and some owners report faster battery drain when Wi‑Fi is active. Professional reviewers point out that the ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 rating, while solid, may fall short for those seeking commercial‑grade security.

Technical details reinforce its premium positioning: the lock supports low‑battery, wrong‑entry, jam, and away‑mode alarms, and it operates across a wide temperature span from –35 °C to 66 °C and humidity up to 95 %. The auto‑lock range of 10‑180 seconds helps prevent forgotten doors, and the local storage of activity logs adds a layer of privacy.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Philips Smart Lock with Handle offers Fingerprint Capacity: 20
