Overview
Renters and apartment dwellers get a smart lock that works with the existing deadbolt, so the original lock core and keys can stay. A keypad with a fingerprint reader handles entry, and magnetic sensing triggers automatic locking.
SwitchBot lets renters add fingerprint entry and smart home control without swapping hardware the landlord owns. HomeKit and the full set of unlock methods require the separate Hub Mini, and some lock styles need an accessory kit.
Who it's for
Apartment renters who cannot replace a lock core benefit most from the retrofit design. Owners of European locksets or Jimmy Proof deadbolts face extra parts or a different version before it fits.
Pros and cons
- Existing lock core and keys stay
- Large fingerprint capacity
- Matter support with Alexa and Google
- Quiet mode at night
- Hub Mini needed for HomeKit and more methods
- Accessory kit needed for some lock types
- Weather resistance not listed
- European locks need the EU version
Performance notes
Fingerprint recognition decides entry speed, and the stored print capacity covers a large household. A high-speed, low-noise motor drives the lock and switches to quiet mode at night, muting sound effects. Remote unlocking asks for a two-step confirmation in the app.
