Schlage Connect Aged Bronze
Score: 83/100
Level Lock+ Wi-Fi Satin Nickel
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Schlage Z-Wave Connect Camelot deadbolt offers high-security Grade AAA construction, Z-Wave Plus connectivity and a built-in alarm for robust smart home integration. Its dependence on an external Z-Wave hub and a modest code capacity may deter users seeking standalone Wi-Fi solutions. Ideal for homeowners who already use a Z-Wave hub and prioritize security and alarm features.
The Level Lock+ WiFi Deadbolt combines an ultra-compact, invisible design with top-tier BHMA AAA security, Apple HomeKey NFC, and auto-lock functionality. It requires a separate Wi-Fi bridge for remote access and uses a single CR2 battery, which may need frequent replacement. Perfect for Apple ecosystem enthusiasts who prioritize security and aesthetics.

Professional reviewers and editors consistently commend the Level Lock+ for its minimalist, invisible design and top-tier BHMA AAA security rating, noting that it integrates seamlessly with Apple HomeKey and major voice assistants while offering straightforward installation. The primary criticism from experts centers on the need for a separate Wi-Fi bridge for remote access and the limited 20-minute fire rating.
Everyday users appreciate the lock's discreet appearance, solid construction, and the reassurance of a physical key backup, while common complaints revolve around occasional connectivity glitches, the perceived unreliability of keyless entry compared to a traditional key, and the extra hardware required for remote features.
