I test smart locks for a living, and the most reliable one I've used is on sale for $135

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2026-02-15 20:32:00

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aqara U100 smart lock was originally priced at $230, but it is currently discounted to $143. This smart lock is the most versatile I've tested; it offers a variety of unlocking options, a user-friendly app, and easy integration with Apple Home. The Aqara U100 drains the battery quickly, and the app doesn't always alert users, resulting in reduced performance within four months of use. $165.46 at Amazon $179.99 at Best Buy more buying choices The Aqara U100 Smart Lock
