Overview
A homeowner with a Z-Wave security system gets a keypad deadbolt that reports to the hub, so the door can be locked from a phone and alerts arrive when it opens. A motorized bolt locks with one touch, and SmartKey lets you rekey it yourself.
Tying the lock into an existing alarm or automation hub adds remote control without a separate app ecosystem. A Z-Wave hub is required for any remote feature, and battery details differ across the listing.
Who it's for
Households already running a Z-Wave alarm panel or smart home controller. Buyers with only Wi-Fi gear should choose a Wi-Fi lock instead.
Pros and cons
- Works with Z-Wave hubs
- Many user codes
- One-touch motorized locking
- Z-Wave hub required for remote use
- Battery inclusion conflicts in listing
- Bulky interior unit
Performance notes
Remote commands travel over the Z-Wave mesh through the hub, so range depends on nearby Z-Wave devices. Auto lock throws the motorized bolt after its timer, so the door locks even if forgotten.
