Best electronic door lock: one listing per door

Updated: 16 October 2026

There is no single best electronic door lock here, because a 4.5-star cylinder motor will not throw the hooks on a lift-handle uPVC door. This page names one amazon.co.uk capture per door, recorded on 15 October 2026. The full table stays on the [electronic door lock comparison](/hub/electronic-surveillance/electronic-door-lock). The Products Compared editorial team compared those listings. There was no lab test. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links. Top pick means the Nuki on a euro-cylinder door. Best value means the Yale when the door takes a 60 mm nightlatch.

The highest star rating is not the right lock

The Nuki Smart Lock Ultra, B0DN1SZCTL, is 4.5 from 663 reviews at about £309.00, the highest star rating in this set. It is still the wrong object on a 60 mm nightlatch, or where the door locks only when you lift the handle. A deadbolt-style motor cannot operate a UK lift-to-lock multipoint. A high star rating is not BS 3621, TS 007, or Secured by Design. None of these listings states those marks. Sort by the door first, then by the stars.

Lift-handle multipoint: Simpled or Ruveno

If the handle lifts to throw the points, you are choosing between two handles, not a winner and a loser. The Simpled EF-SP, B0C8757LKK, is about £209.99 and 4.0 from 742 reviews. Only the outside panel is weatherproof, and a Wi-Fi bridge is named but not included. Skip it if the inside gets rained on. The Ruveno RU-001, B0CRB9QP1T, is about £199.99 and 4.1 from 201 reviews, with an 85 mm by 35 mm mortise. Reviews report rain inside the lock against a waterproof bullet, and the Alexa gateway is sold separately.
NUKI Nuki Smart Lock Ultra, euro cylinder

Euro cylinder: Nuki Smart Lock Ultra

The top pick is the Nuki Ultra only when the door is a euro cylinder and you want the cylinder, Wi-Fi, and Matter in the same box. Model 221145 includes the universal cylinder, a mounting plate, a charging cable, and a black cover. The pack is rechargeable, and remote control uses built-in Wi-Fi. Skip it if you need the handle lifted, if you have a nightlatch, or if new keys are unacceptable.

A 60 mm nightlatch, and why a £40 handle is a different job

The Yale Keyless Connected, B08ZL65PZQ, is the best value when the door takes a 60 mm nightlatch. It is about £68.00 and 4.1 from 1,099 reviews. The nightlatch is in the title and not on the included line. The app needs a Yale Access Module. A 2026 review says the printed master code no longer worked. Skip it on a uPVC multipoint door. The fingerprint handles near £40 are what reviewers describe on bedrooms and offices.

A cupboard or garage is the only job for the 12 V set

These four stay locked only while powered, so they are a skip for a house door. The Uoonner kit unlocks when power is off and has no review line. The Kadongli bolt is the lock only. The Fredorlokk bolt is 4.2 from 6, with reviews from France, not UK opinion. The Fredorlokk magnet states a 60 kg hold. A 60 kg magnet is not a house lock.

Common questions

What is the best electronic door lock if my uPVC handle lifts to lock?
Either the Simpled EF-SP or the Ruveno RU-001, and only after you check weather and the mortise. Simpled keeps the inside dry and costs about £209.99. Ruveno includes an 85 mm by 35 mm mortise at about £199.99 and has rain complaints against a waterproof bullet. Neither is a euro-cylinder motor. If the handle does not lift, skip both.
Is the Nuki Ultra the best lock because it has 4.5 stars?
It is the top pick for a euro-cylinder door when you want the cylinder, Wi-Fi, and Matter in the box, at about £309.00 and 4.5 from 663 reviews. The stars do not make it the right lock for a nightlatch or a lift-handle multipoint. The listing does not name BS 3621, TS 007, or Sold Secure.
What should I buy for a timber door with a 60 mm nightlatch?
The Yale Keyless Connected, B08ZL65PZQ, at about £68.00. That is the best value for that nightlatch in this set, with 4.1 from 1,099 reviews and four AA cells included. Confirm the 60 mm nightlatch is on the door or bought separately, because it is not on the included line. The app still needs a Yale Access Module.
Are the £40 fingerprint handles a best-value front-door lock?
No. They are the listings reviewers describe on bedrooms and offices. The TEKXDD has the large sample, 4.2 from 1,011 at about £39.99, and reviews say Bluetooth beside the door. The La Macaza has only 22 reviews. The two DHEISHA colours share one review text. None of them is the lock for a final exit in this comparison.
Which listing should I skip if I need Wi-Fi in the box?
Skip any listing whose included line does not name it. Nuki includes Wi-Fi. Ruveno’s Alexa gateway is extra. Simpled names a bridge that is not included. Yale needs an Access Module. The TEKXDD has no connectivity line, and reviews say Bluetooth. The Uoonner kit names Wi-Fi, and it unlocks when power fails, so it is still the wrong house lock.
Is the cheapest 12 V magnet a good house lock?
No. The Fredorlokk magnet is about £21.38 with a stated 60 kg hold and no review line. Trade guides treat about 60 kg as a cabinet hold, not a front door. It unlocks in a power cut. Keep it on a cupboard or a similar small door, and keep a house final exit on the nightlatch or a multipoint handle.
