ANSI Grade 1 deadbolt — the highest residential security rating — with built-in Wi-Fi and Apple Home Key. Trusted by locksmiths for decades and works great without any hub.
Fits over your existing deadbolt so your physical key still works — ideal for renters or anyone who doesn't want to replace their entire lock. Locksmiths love it for keeping real security hardware intact.
Purpose-built for Apple Home with native HomeKit and Apple Home Key support at a price well under most competitors. Wirecutter picks it as a top value, and it regularly drops below $100.
More unlock methods than almost any competitor — fingerprint, keypad, app, voice, and key — with broad platform support. PCMag calls it one of the most versatile smart locks tested.
