Ways to open

Five common ways a smart door lock lets you in

Smart locks replace or support the traditional key with other ways to confirm who is at the door. Here are the entry methods you will see most often across keyless door locks.

  1. 01

    PIN code keypad

    A numbered keypad on the lock face lets you type a personal code instead of carrying a key. Many households like being able to share a code with family members.

    Fingerprint reader

    A small biometric sensor, often placed near the handle, reads a registered fingerprint so the door can be opened with a single touch.

    Key card or tag

    Card readers are familiar from offices and hotels. Holding a card or tag close to the reader is a quick way to open a shared or busy entrance.

    App and display locks

    Some smart locks pair with a phone app or include a small screen that shows messages and status, adding a friendly, connected feel to the front door.

    Mechanical key backup

    Many digital door locks still keep a traditional key cylinder as a backup, so there is another way in if the electronics are ever unavailable.

Before you choose

A simple checklist for picking a smart door lock

  1. Check your door

    Note the door material, thickness and whether it already has a mortise lock or a simple cylinder. This shapes which smart lock styles will fit.

  2. Choose how you want to enter

    Decide whether a PIN code, fingerprint, key card, phone app or a mix of these suits the people who use the door every day.

  3. Think about power

    Most smart locks run on batteries. Ask how the lock warns you when power is low and how it can be opened if the batteries run out.

  4. Keep a backup plan

    Look for a secondary way in, such as a mechanical key, so a flat battery or forgotten code never leaves you outside.

  5. Plan the installation

    Some locks swap in easily, while others need cutting or drilling. A professional installer can confirm the fit before any work begins.
