Kwikset Halo
Score: 88/100
Yale Assure Lock 2 Matte Black
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Kwikset Halo is a high-security Wi-Fi smart deadbolt featuring a capacitive touchscreen and hub-free connectivity. Its reliance on strong Wi-Fi signals and lack of ADA compliance are notable trade-offs. It is ideal for tech-savvy homeowners seeking a secure, easy-to-install upgrade without extra hardware.
The Yale Matte Black Keyed Deadbolt Smart Lock with Google Matter features Matter over Thread technology for cross-platform smart home integration and long battery life. It requires a separate Matter-enabled hub for remote access and lacks biometric scanning, which may be a drawback for some users. Ideal for Google Home and Nest users seeking Matter-compatible keyless entry.
