Schlage BE365 Aged Bronze
Score: 79/100
Google Nest x Yale Lock
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Schlage BE365 CAM Camelot (Aged Bronze) is a robust, non-smart keypad deadbolt with Grade 2 security and exceptional battery life. It lacks auto-locking and smart home connectivity, making it less suitable for tech-focused users. It is ideal for families needing shared access codes without physical keys.
The Nest × Yale Lock is a key-free smart deadbolt that replaces existing hardware, allowing remote locking and unlocking via the Nest app while integrating with the Nest security system. It features a tamper-proof design and unique passcode management, but is limited to the Google ecosystem. It is best suited for Google Nest ecosystem users seeking seamless security integration.
