Lift-to-lock front door
You already lock a uPVC or composite door by lifting the handle. The Ruveno RU-001 is the higher-scoring multipoint handle here, if the case matches the 85 mm by 35 mm mortise and you have read the rain reports.

An electronic door lock on amazon.co.uk is not one product. You may be fitting one to a uPVC or composite front door, a timber nightlatch, a bedroom or office door, or a small powered door in a garage or cupboard. Judge a listing by the match to the lock case you already have, by what still opens the door if the battery or the supply fails, and by a weather or connectivity claim that states its limit. Use the [electronic door lock buying guide](/hub/electronic-surveillance/electronic-door-lock/sub/electronic-door-lock-buying-guide) to choose the type before a model. This page is the full comparison, including the limits the listings and the reviews already show. Ruveno’s mortise is 85 mm by 35 mm.

Which electronic door lock fits?
Question 1 of 2
What is already on the door?
The best electronic door locks in detail
Our view
The Nuki Smart Lock Ultra replaces the euro cylinder, and the box holds the lock, a universal cylinder, a mounting plate, a charging cable, and a black cover, at £309.00. The amazon.co.uk listing is 4.5 from 663 reviews, the highest star rating in this set, which is why it is the top pick when the door is a euro profile and you want Wi-Fi and Matter included. Remote control uses a built-in Wi-Fi module, so there is no separate bridge on the listing. The pack is rechargeable, and the emergency-power field names the magnetic charge cable. App, button, remote, and voice are the unlock methods. The bullets talk about high physical security and do not name BS 3621, TS 007, or Sold Secure, so the star rating is not an insurance mark. It turns a cylinder. It does not lift a multipoint handle for you.
Pros
- Universal euro cylinder, Wi-Fi, and Matter in the box
- Highest rating in the set: 4.5 from 663 reviews
- Rechargeable pack with a magnetic charging cable
- Built-in Wi-Fi, with no separate bridge listed
Cons
- £309.00, the highest price in the set
- A new cylinder means new keys
- No BS 3621, TS 007, or Sold Secure number on the listing
- It does not lift a handle to throw multipoint hooks
Best for: A euro-profile door where a new cylinder, new keys, and built-in Wi-Fi are what you want
Less suitable: A lift-to-lock door that needs the handle raised, or anyone who must keep the current cylinder

Common questions
Does it replace the cylinder?
Yes. The included list has the Ultra, a universal euro cylinder, a mounting plate, a charging cable, and a black cover.
Is remote access a separate bridge?
No. The listing says remote control uses a built-in Wi-Fi module.
Is a British Standard printed on the listing?
No. The bullets say high physical security. They do not name BS 3621, TS 007, or Sold Secure.
Our view
The matte black TEKXDD is a fingerprint handle for doors stated as 35–55 mm, at £39.99. It is 4.2 from 1,011 reviews, the widest review base among the handles near £40, which is why it is the best value in this set for an internal door in that band. Fingerprint, passcode, app, key, and NFC are claimed. The listing has no connectivity line, and reviews say the app is Bluetooth, with the entry log updating only when the phone is beside the lock. Four AAA batteries are required and are not included. The included line is two handles and instructions, and reviews say an access card was expected and was not there, even though the bullets name NFC. The listing says no drilling and that the handing can be changed. It suits a bedroom or office door, and it is a weak choice as the only lock on a final exit.
Pros
- 4.2 from 1,011 reviews at £39.99
- Fingerprint, passcode, app, key, and NFC claimed
- 35–55 mm stated, which the listing calls most UK doors
- A USB port is named for emergency power
Cons
- Four AAA batteries are not included
- Reviews say the app and the entry log need Bluetooth beside the door
- An access card was missing for some buyers
- No British Standard is named
Best for: A bedroom or office door of 35–55 mm, where price and a large review count matter
Less suitable: A multipoint uPVC final exit, or anyone who needs the entry log to work away from the door

Common questions
Does the listing name Wi-Fi?
No. There is no connectivity line. Reviews say the app is Bluetooth, and that the entry log updates only when the phone is beside the lock.
Is a card in the box?
The included line lists two handles and instructions. Reviews say an access card was expected and was not there. The bullets do name NFC.
What thickness is named?
Most UK doors of 35–55 mm. The listing says no drilling, and that the handing can be changed.
Our view
The silver DHEISHA is a fingerprint handle for doors stated as 30–55 mm, at £40.99, and the listing is 4.2 from 96 reviews. Two emergency keys, the lock, an IC card, and mounting screws are included. Four AAA cells are required and are not on the included line. The connectivity line says a proprietary app protocol, and there is no bridge on the included line. The listing also says most US doors and claims no drilling. Reviews in the same file still mention a hole of about 53–54 mm and a chisel, so the no-drill bullet and the review holes disagree. The review text matches the black DHEISHA, so the 96 reviews are not a separate sample from the 95 on the black listing, and the fire-door wording is a listing claim rather than permission to alter a fire door.
Pros
- Fingerprint, app, card, key, and passcode named
- 4.2 from 96 reviews at £40.99
- Two emergency keys and an IC card in the box
- 30–55 mm stated, including the note on fire and security doors as a listing claim
Cons
- Four AAA batteries are not included
- The review text is the same dump as the black DHEISHA
- Reviews mention a hole of about 53–54 mm and a chisel
- No bridge is listed
Best for: A wooden internal door of 30–55 mm, if you treat the shared reviews as one sample and check the hole before you cut
Less suitable: Anyone counting 96 and 95 reviews as two tests, or a fire door you are not allowed to alter

Common questions
Are the batteries included?
No. The note says four AAA batteries are required. The included line lists two emergency keys, the lock, an IC card, and screws.
Are these reviews separate from the black DHEISHA?
No. The Amazon reviews repeat the same text as the black DHEISHA, B0DQKFHBNR. This listing is 4.2 from 96.
Does the listing say no drilling?
Yes. Reviews in the same file still mention a hole of about 53–54 mm and a chisel.
Our view
The black DHEISHA, model DH-DK-B07, is a fingerprint handle at £40.88, listed at 4.2 from 95 reviews. The connectivity line says Bluetooth, so the phone needs to be near the door, unlike a remote Wi-Fi lock. Wooden doors of 30–55 mm are named, and the note also names fire doors and security doors as a fit phrase rather than a certificate. Two emergency keys, the lock, an IC card, and screws are included. Four AAA cells are required and are not in the box. The review text matches the silver listing, including the report of a hole around 53–54 mm and a chisel despite a no-drilling claim. A USB port is named, and the listing says not to charge the cells. It suits a bedroom or office door in that thickness band if you accept a shared review file.
Pros
- Bluetooth fingerprint handle with two emergency keys included
- 4.2 from 95 reviews at £40.88
- IC card and mounting screws in the box
- 30–55 mm stated on the listing
Cons
- Listed as Bluetooth, so it is not a remote Wi-Fi lock
- Review text is shared with the silver ASIN
- Reviews describe cutting a hole of about 53–54 mm
- Four AAA batteries are not included
Best for: A wooden internal door of 30–55 mm where Bluetooth at the door is enough
Less suitable: Remote access from outside the house, or a fire door you are not allowed to alter

Common questions
How is this listing different from the silver DHEISHA?
This ASIN is black, model DH-DK-B07, £40.88, and the connectivity line says Bluetooth. The silver file's connectivity line says a proprietary app protocol. The review text matches.
Are the batteries included?
No. Four AAA cells are required and are not on the included line.
What thickness is named?
Wooden doors of 30–55 mm, and the note also names fire doors and security doors.
Our view
The black La Macaza is a fingerprint handle for wooden, fire, and security doors the listing puts at 30–55 mm, priced at £39.90. Backup keys, an IC card, a USB cable, and mounting hardware are in the box, and the bullets say no drilling and that the handle is reversible. The listing is 4.2 from 22 reviews, a small sample next to the TEKXDD’s 1,011. The specification line says Wi-Fi, while a review says the Tuya app works by Bluetooth beside the door, so remote access is disputed. Four AAA cells are not included. The USB port is for emergency power, and the listing says not to charge the cells. Use it on a light internal door in that thickness band. It is a weak choice as the only lock on a final exit the insurer already names.
Pros
- £39.90 with app, fingerprint, passcode, key, and an IC card
- 30–55 mm claimed, with no drilling claimed
- USB cable and backup keys included
- Handing described as reversible
Cons
- Only 22 reviews
- Wi-Fi on the listing, Bluetooth in a review
- Four AAA batteries are not included
- No British Standard is named
Best for: A wooden internal door of 30–55 mm, where a low price matters more than a large review sample
Less suitable: A uPVC front door, anyone who needs confirmed Wi-Fi away from the door, or a final exit

Common questions
Are the batteries in the box?
No. The listing says four AAA batteries are not included. It also describes a USB emergency port and says not to charge the cells.
Does the listing say Wi-Fi?
Yes. The connectivity line says Wi-Fi. A review says the Tuya app works by Bluetooth beside the door, not by Wi-Fi.
What door thickness is named?
Wooden, fire, and security doors of 30–55 mm. The listing also says no drilling, and that the handle is reversible.
Our view
The Fredorlokk drop bolt is a 12 V surface-mount lock at £29.07, listed at 4.2 from 6 reviews. The listing says it locks when power is applied and unlocks when power is lost. Start current is stated as 1.2 A and holding current as 120 mA. It is wired as a normally closed input: red to NC and black to GND, with yellow and white described as needing no special handling. The two reviews on the listing are both from France, so they are not a UK opinion sample, and six reviews is a thin base. Codes are claimed with no number, so that line is not a British Standard. Wood, metal, and glass are named, and a power cut opens it, which suits a cupboard and not a final exit.
Pros
- Surface-mount drop bolt with stated 12 V currents
- 4.2 from 6 reviews at £29.07
- Unlocks when power is removed
- Wood, metal, and glass named
Cons
- Only six reviews, and the review text is from France
- A power cut unlocks it
- No standard number behind the codes claim
- Nothing on the listing makes it a house lock
Best for: A surface-mount cupboard or similar door on 12 V, where unlock-on-power-loss is the point
Less suitable: A front door, or anyone treating six French reviews as UK evidence

The listing is 4.2 from 6. The two reviews shown are both from France.

The black Yale Keyless Connected, model YD-01-CON-BL, is a keypad whose title names a 60 mm nightlatch, at £68.00. The listing is 4.1 from 1,099 reviews, the largest review count in this set, when the door already takes that nightlatch. The included line lists the lock, a key tag, a key card, four AA batteries, and a quick guide. The nightlatch itself is in the title and not on that included line, so you confirm it is already on the door or bought separately. The smartphone app needs a Yale Access Module and the Yale Home app. A 2026 review says the printed master code no longer works, and that you set a 6-digit code and press R on the battery housing. Emergency power is not stated on this ASIN. It is the wrong object for a uPVC door that locks when you lift the handle.
Pros
- 4.1 from 1,099 reviews, the widest review count in the set
- Four AA batteries, a key tag, and a key card in the box
- £68.00 for a keypad aimed at a 60 mm nightlatch
- Two-year warranty named
Cons
- The 60 mm nightlatch is in the title and not on the included line
- The app needs a Yale Access Module sold separately
- A 2026 review says the printed master code no longer works
- Emergency power is not stated
Best for: A timber door with a 60 mm backset nightlatch, when a keypad and a large review count matter more than Wi-Fi in the box
Less suitable: A uPVC lift-to-lock door, or anyone who needs the nightlatch and the app module confirmed in the same box

Common questions
Is the nightlatch on the included line?
No. The title names a 60 mm nightlatch and a black cylinder. The included line lists the lock, a key tag, a key card, four AA batteries, and a quick guide.
Does the phone app work on its own?
The bullet says the smartphone app needs a Yale Access Module and the Yale Home app.
What do reviews say about the master code?
A 2026 review says the printed master code no longer works, and that you set a 6-digit code and press R on the battery housing.
Our view
The Ruveno RU-001 is a black lift-to-lock handle at £199.99, listed at 4.1 from 201 reviews. The mortise in the box is 85 mm by 35 mm, and the listing says the lock will not fit if the existing handle cannot lift to throw the points. Fingerprint, app, passcode, fob, key, and NFC are named. Alexa voice unlock needs a Wi-Fi gateway sold separately, so remote voice control is a second purchase. The listing calls the front panel waterproof. Reviews also report rain inside the lock, a fingerprint sensor that died when wet, and a battery killed by water, so the waterproof line and the rain reports have to be read together. Mechanical keys are named. No British Standard is printed on the listing.
Pros
- Lift-to-lock handle with an 85 mm by 35 mm mortise in the box
- 4.1 from 201 reviews at £199.99
- Fingerprint, app, passcode, fob, key, and NFC named
- Mechanical keys named as a fallback
Cons
- Reviews report rain inside the lock and a wet sensor that failed
- A review also describes a battery killed by water
- Alexa needs a Wi-Fi gateway sold separately
- It will not fit a handle that cannot lift
Best for: A lift-up multipoint door whose case matches the 85 mm by 35 mm mortise, if you accept the rain reports
Less suitable: A nightlatch, a euro-only retrofit, or a door you will not measure before you order

Common questions
Which multipoint doors does the listing name?
Lift-up-handle multipoint locks. If the existing handle cannot lift to throw the points, the listing says it will not fit. The mortise in the box is 85 mm by 35 mm.
Is Alexa ready without another box?
No. The unlock bullet says Alexa voice unlock needs a Wi-Fi gateway, sold separately.
Do reviews agree that the front panel is waterproof?
The listing says the front panel is waterproof. Reviews also report rain inside the lock, a dead fingerprint sensor when wet, and a battery killed by water.
Our view
The Simpled EF-SP is a silver handle for a door you already lock by lifting the handle, and the amazon.co.uk listing is 4.0 from 742 reviews at £209.99. The listing says it fits most existing handle-up multipoint mechanisms, and the unlock list names fingerprint, passcode, phone, Bluetooth, NFC, and keys. Only the outside panel is weatherproof. The listing says the inside panel must not get wet, so rain driven onto the room side is a real limit. A Wi-Fi bridge for Alexa or Google Home is named in an unlock bullet and is not on the included line, which lists a mechanical key, proxy fobs, and a phone tag. Power is not stated on this listing, so a battery figure from another shop is not this product. A two-year warranty is named. If the handle does not lift to throw the points, this is the wrong mechanism.
Pros
- Handle-up multipoint, with 4.0 from 742 reviews
- Fingerprint, passcode, phone, Bluetooth, NFC, and keys named
- Mechanical key, proxy fobs, and a phone tag on the included line
- Two-year warranty named
Cons
- Only the outside panel is weatherproof; the inside must stay dry
- The Wi-Fi bridge is named and is not on the included line
- Power is not stated on the listing
- It needs a handle that already lifts to throw the points
Best for: A handle-up multipoint door where the inside panel stays dry and a mechanical key is enough as the fallback
Less suitable: A door whose handle does not lift, or a porch that wets the inside of the lock

Is a Wi-Fi bridge on the included line?
The unlock bullet names a Wi-Fi bridge for Alexa or Google Home. The included line lists a mechanical key, proxy fobs, and a phone tag.
Our view
The Uoonner kit is a 12 V fail-safe bolt with an IP68 keypad, ten fobs, an exit button, the bolt, and a 12 V 3 A supply, at £50.89. The listing says the bolt locks when it is powered and unlocks when power is off, so a power cut opens the door. There is no Customer Reviews line on the listing, so there is no star rating to weigh and silence is not praise. The keypad is described as suitable indoors or outdoors. The bolt itself has no weather rating on the listing, so the IP68 line does not cover the bolt. Fingerprint, card, passcode, the Tuya app, and the exit button are the unlock methods, and Wi-Fi is named. It is a powered cupboard or garage fitting if unlock-on-power-loss is what you want. It is the wrong lock if the door must stay shut in a power cut.
Pros
- Keypad, ten fobs, exit button, bolt, and a 12 V supply in one box
- Keypad described as IP68
- Wi-Fi and a Tuya app named
- Unlocks when the 12 V supply fails, which is the fail-safe behaviour
Cons
- No review line on the listing
- A power cut unlocks the bolt
- The bolt has no weather rating on the listing
- No British Standard is named
Best for: A garage or cupboard where you want a keypad kit and the door should open if the supply dies
Less suitable: A house final exit that must stay locked in a power cut

No. There is no Customer Reviews line on the listing.
Our view
The Kadongli is a 12 V or 24 V fail-safe bolt, 150 × 34 × 28 mm, at £23.99, and the included line is the lock only. The listing says it is locked when powered and unlocked when power is off. There is no Customer Reviews line, so there is no amazon.co.uk star rating to weigh and the score is zero. No keypad is in the box. You still need an access-control input. The bullet says it fits wooden, metal, and fire-proof doors, and no certificate number is printed, so that wording is not a doorset test. The body is aluminium with a stainless bolt. It can be a small powered door if you already have the controller and you want the door to open in a power cut, and it is not a house lock.
Pros
- 12 V or 24 V, with the body size printed as 150 × 34 × 28 mm
- £23.99 for the bolt alone
- Unlocks when power is removed
- Wooden, metal, and fire-proof doors named as a fit phrase
Cons
- No review line
- The box is the lock only, with no keypad
- A power cut leaves it unlocked
- No certificate number behind the fire-proof wording
Best for: A buyer who already has a 12 V or 24 V controller and wants a bare fail-safe bolt
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a keypad in the box, a review sample, or a door that stays shut in a power cut

No certificate number is printed. The bullet only says it fits wooden, metal, and fire-proof doors.
Our view
The Fredorlokk magnetic lock is a 12 V magnet with a stated hold of 60 kg, also written as 132 lb, at £21.38. The listing says it locks when powered and unlocks when power is off, including a power cut. There is no Customer Reviews line, so the score is zero and the 60 kg figure is a listing claim, not a measured test in this comparison. A button or a remote is described as depending on the configuration, and nothing is listed as included. Wood, metal, and glass are named. A 60 kg hold is a cupboard or small-door figure, not a house lock, and the body is only 8 × 4 × 2.5 cm. Buy it if a light door should release when the supply dies. Do not buy it as the lock on a final exit.
Pros
- Stated hold of 60 kg at £21.38
- Unlocks in a power cut, which is the fail-safe behaviour
- 12 V, for wood, metal, or glass as named
- Small body, 8 × 4 × 2.5 cm
Cons
- No review line
- 60 kg is a listing claim, and it is not a house-door hold
- Nothing is listed as included

How we compared
We compared twelve electronic door locks from amazon.co.uk listings in this category, after a wider shortlist. Scores follow the published listing data: door match, what happens if power fails, weather and box contents, review counts, and price. We did not run a laboratory test, and we did not treat a missing review line as a high score.
1
Door mechanism
30%The lock has to match a lift-handle multipoint, a euro cylinder, a 60 mm nightlatch, an internal latch, or a frame for a powered bolt or magnet.
2
Entry if power fails
25%A flat battery or a dead 12 V supply still has to leave a way in. Escape routes need unlock on power loss. A house door that must stay shut needs the opposite.
3
Weather and box contents
20%Rain claims are only as wide as the listing states. A gateway, a Wi-Fi module, or the batteries are often a second purchase.
4
amazon.co.uk reviews
15%Star ratings and review counts are the figures on these listings. A shared review file, or reviews from outside the UK, is not treated as a second sample.
5
Price against the job
10%Shelf prices in this set run from about £21 to £309. A low price only helps if the lock is the mechanism your door already uses.

Electronic door lock buying guide
Match the lock to the door you already have before you compare star ratings. A handle that lifts, a euro cylinder, a 60 mm nightlatch, and a 12 V frame are different products. Price follows that split in this set, from about £21 to £309.
What is an electronic door lock?
An electronic door lock in this comparison is whatever the amazon.co.uk listing is selling under that search, not a single British Standard product. The twelve listings split into five jobs. A multipoint smart handle, the Simpled EF-SP at £209.99 (4.0 from 742 reviews) and the Ruveno RU-001 at £199.99 (4.1 from 201), is for a door you already lock by lifting the handle. Ruveno’s mortise is 85 mm by 35 mm.
Best for
- Householders matching a lift-handle multipoint or a euro cylinder
- Flat occupants who want to release a 60 mm nightlatch
- Landlords and parents who will delete a timed code when someone leaves
Not ideal for
- A final exit that must keep a BS 3621 lock the insurer already names
- A fire door or an escape route, unless a locksmith takes that fitting on
- Anyone treating a 60 kg magnet as a house lock
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
A knob set on a front door
The fingerprint handles near £40 are what reviews describe on bedrooms and offices. They are a weak choice as the only lock on a final exit, and none of them names BS 3621.
- 2
Ignoring the mortise size
Ruveno’s mortise is 85 mm by 35 mm, and the listing says the lock will not fit if the existing handle cannot lift to throw the points. Measure before you order.
- 3
Assuming the gateway is in the box
Ruveno’s Alexa gateway is sold separately. Yale’s app needs an access module. Simpled names a Wi-Fi bridge that is not on the included line. Nuki is the listing that puts Wi-Fi and Matter in the box.
What to weigh up
Door mechanism
HighStart with the lock case, not the app. A lift-handle multipoint door needs a handle that throws the existing points. Simpled says it fits most existing handle-up mechanisms. Ruveno will not fit if the handle cannot lift, and the mortise in the box is 85 mm by 35 mm. A euro-profile door can take the Nuki Ultra, which supplies a universal cylinder and therefore new keys. It turns that cylinder. It does not lift multipoint hooks.
Power loss and box contents
HighAsk what still opens the door when the battery is flat or the 12 V supply is dead. The multipoint handles name mechanical keys. Nuki names a magnetic charge cable for a rechargeable pack. Several fingerprint handles name a USB port and say not to charge the cells, and the AAA batteries are often not in the box. Yale includes four AA cells and does not state emergency power.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Euro-cylinder door
You can replace the euro cylinder and accept new keys. The Nuki Smart Lock Ultra is the top pick in this set because Wi-Fi and Matter are in the box and the listing is 4.5 from 663 reviews.
Nightlatch or internal door
A flat with a 60 mm nightlatch points to the Yale keypad. A bedroom or office door of about 35–55 mm points to the TEKXDD handle, which is the best value near £40 if Bluetooth beside the door is enough.
Common questions about electronic door locks
Which electronic door lock is the top pick here?
The Nuki Smart Lock Ultra is the top pick when the door has a euro-profile cylinder and you want the cylinder, Wi-Fi, and Matter in the box. The amazon.co.uk listing is 4.5 from 663 reviews at £309.00, the highest star rating in this set. It is rechargeable, and the listing names a magnetic charge cable. It does not lift a multipoint handle, and it does not name BS 3621, TS 007, or Sold Secure.
Which electronic door lock is the best value?
The TEKXDD matte black fingerprint handle is the best value for a bedroom or office door stated as 35–55 mm. It is 4.2 from 1,011 reviews at £39.99, the widest review base among the handles near £40. Four AAA cells are not included, and reviews say the app is Bluetooth beside the door. It is a weak choice as the only lock on a final exit.
How much does an electronic door lock cost?
Shelf prices in this set run from £21.38 to £309.00. About £21–£29 buys a bolt or a magnet stated at 60 kg. About £40–£51 covers a fingerprint handle or the Uoonner kit. The Yale nightlatch keypad is £68.00. Simpled and Ruveno sit at about £200–£210. The Nuki Ultra is £309.00. A house final exit in this set starts at the nightlatch or the multipoint handles. The £40 sets are what reviewers describe on internal doors.
Do any of these listings meet BS 3621 or Secured by Design?
None of these twelve listings states BS 3621, BS 8621, TS 007, TS 621, or Secured by Design. BS 3621 is key-both-sides thief resistance. BS 8621 is a key outside and a thumb turn inside. West Yorkshire Police advise a 3-star TS 007 or Sold Secure SS312 cylinder on uPVC doors. Tell your insurer before you remove a lock the policy names. That is not a statement that a claim will be paid or refused.
What happens to a 12 V electronic door lock in a power cut?
The Uoonner kit, the Kadongli bolt, the Fredorlokk drop bolt, and the Fredorlokk magnet are described as locked while powered and unlocked when power is removed. That suits a cupboard or garage door that should open if the supply dies. It is the wrong behaviour if a house door must stay shut. On an escape route, guidance also expects unlock on alarm and from a manual release. Call a locksmith if the door is a fire door or on an escape route.
Is Wi-Fi or Alexa included with an electronic door lock?
Not on every listing. Ruveno says the Alexa gateway is sold separately. The Yale app needs a Yale Access Module. Simpled names a Wi-Fi bridge that is not on the included line. Nuki says Wi-Fi and Matter are built in. La Macaza says Wi-Fi, while a review says Bluetooth at close range. TEKXDD has no connectivity line, and reviews say Bluetooth beside the door. Read the included line, not only the unlock bullet.
How does this page differ from smart door locks?
This comparison mixes fingerprint handles, a nightlatch keypad, a euro-cylinder motor, and 12 V bolts and magnets. The neighbouring smart door locks comparison is the place for app-connected locks as their own set. Use this table when you still need to match a lift-handle, a cylinder, a nightlatch, or a powered bolt. A 60 kg magnet, or a title that says fire-proof, is not a certified house lock or a fire-door test.
Our verdict
The top pick is the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra when the door has a euro cylinder and you want Wi-Fi and Matter in the box: 4.5 from 663 reviews at £309.00. It does not lift a multipoint handle, and the listing does not name BS 3621 or TS 007. The best value for a bedroom or office door of 35–55 mm is the TEKXDD handle, 4.2 from 1,011 reviews at £39.99, with Bluetooth described in the reviews rather than a Wi-Fi line on the listing. A 12 V bolt that unlocks when power fails is a cupboard or garage fitting, not a substitute for either of those.
