Vergleichen Smart Locks →Retrofit smart locks (Level, Aqara): replace just the interior mechanism, existing deadbolt works. Full replacement (August, Yale): replace entire lock. Retrofits are cheaper and simpler; full replacements are more secure but require rekeying the deadbolt.
PIN entry: simple, guests can be given temporary codes. Biometric: fingerprint recognition (faster, no code to remember). App/smartphone: convenient, requires phone charged, internet connection. Combinations (PIN + biometric + app) offer fallback options.
Most smart locks run on AA/AAA batteries, lasting 6-12 months with regular use. Check: how many entries before battery alert? Can you still manually unlock with physical key if battery dies? Mechanical backup key is essential.
Matter support (coming 2026+) unifies smart locks across ecosystems. Google Home, Apple Home Kit, Alexa compatibility varies by model. Verify: can you lock/unlock from your phone remotely? Does the lock integrate with video doorbell for guest access?
Level, August, and Yale have strong reliability. Budget smart locks ($60-100) sometimes have accuracy issues (slow biometric recognition, missed app commands). Premium models ($200-400) are more responsive. Check: manufacturer warranty coverage (Yale offers 2-year hardware warranty).

Reputable brands (Yale, August, Level) use strong encryption for app/bluetooth communication. Physical security is weaker than traditional locks (biometric can be spoofed with high-quality fingerprint replicas, though rare). Smart lock security is adequate for residential use; commercial/high-security applications need traditional locks or multi-factor authentication (PIN + biometric).
Smart locks excel for rentals: generate temporary codes for guests, revoke access instantly when tenant moves out, monitor access logs. No key management overhead. Caveat: tenants may resist electronic locks. Verify local laws allow smart locks on rental properties (some jurisdictions restrict them).
