Pros
Facial recognition tech is a game-changer
Supports most every other access method, too
Long-life battery, with a spare in the box
Cons
Unattractive industrial design
Awkwardly placed fingerprint reader
App still feels like it’s in beta
Our Verdict
This smart lock’s facial recognition technology works delightfully well, and it can be opened via a host of other ways, too. But packing all that into one device leaves a bit to be desired in terms of industrial design, and Lockly needs to put some TLC into its mobile app.

The smart lock market has abruptly started heating up: First we had locks that could open based on palm vein recognition, now we’re getting facial recognition technology built right into the device, with the Lockly Visage Zeno Series Facial Recognition Zeno Series
This is a beast of a smart lock, in both size and scope of operations. Weighing in at nearly five pounds, it connects directly to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and can be opened with a PIN, an NFC card or Apple Home Key (i.e., using an iPhone or Apple Watch), Lockly’s smartphone app, or a physical key. The kicker, of course, is what we all came to see: facial recognition, courtesy of a camera and sensors built into the lock’s exterior escutcheon.
Facial recognition–including the initial enrollment process–is nearly instantaneous, and it’s easily this lock’s most important feature.
Before we dive into the nuts and bolts of this new smart lock, let’s discuss its most innovative feature: facial recognition. Faces are registered through the app and the lock’s onboard camera (not your phone’s): The administrator must be within Bluetooth range of the lock, and the user must stand in front of the door for a quick scan. The camera on the exterior escutcheon is angled up just a bit, which prevents users from having to bend over when they approach the door, although you’ll need to move further away from the lock the taller you are.
The registration process is nearly instantaneous—there’s none of the looking around in all directions that a typical face-scan process requires—and you can either configure the lock to automatically recognize when someone approaches to engage the facial scanner or require them to wake up the screen with a tap. Again, it works so well that I had a higher level of success when using the facial recognition system than any other means of access—including typing in PINs—and I was unable to defeat it with a photograph of my face. (Lockly, however, says users with twins should use PINs or fingerprints.) Up to 100 facial scans can be stored on the device.

Design and feature set
Let’s now take a look at the hardware. Lockly has never been known for designing elegant, attractive hardware, although the luxurious Styla Designer Handlebar Deadbolt the company showed off at CES in January might change that perception. The Visage Zeno Series certainly won’t. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest it is the least attractive smart lock Lockly has ever made. It consists of a 6 x 2.5-inch exterior escutcheon with a jumble of components that feel haphazardly stacked atop each other: Camera at the top, a keypad below that, and then a large circular area that contains both a physical keyhole and the fingerprint reader. It’s particularly garish in the satin nickel color scheme I received, which creates a two-tone design that looks even more random. The matte black option is considerably cleaner.
This review is part of TechHive’s in-depth coverage of the best smart locks.
Inside the house, the interior escutcheon, though a large 7 x 3 inches in size, is a bit more straightforward in appearance thanks to a black plastic cover that slides over the electronics and battery pack, covering most of the chassis. At the bottom is an exposed manual thumb-turn in either the nickel or black color scheme; again, the latter provides a much more cohesive look.
Lockly says the device meets ANSI level 2 certification requirements, although it is not formally certified by ANSI or BHMA. (Our deadbolt certification decoder article thoroughly explains both of those standards, and why you should care about them.)

Installation and setup
Registering a user’s face is probably the fastest way to set someone up with the lock, but you can also create PINs (including one-time and limited-time), fingerprint recognition, Apple Home Keys, and more.Christopher Null/Foundry
Installation can take some time due to the large number of components in the box, many of which are packaged separately in tiny bags and boxes, and some of which you won’t even need. The printed installation guide is fortunately thorough and thoughtful, and even a novice should be able to complete the job in short order by following the instructions carefully. The only challenging part is the inclusion of a wired door sensor, which sticks out from the side of the interior escutcheon on a small wire. It’s unfortunately not removable if you don’t want to use it.
Lockly says the lock can be installed in less than 25 minutes by a novice. I had it up and running in about 15, at which point I was able to calibrate the lock by simply pushing a button on the interior escutcheon. In part, this allows the lock to figure out whether it is installed on a left- or right-hand door, no switches required.
The unit is powered by a 10000mAh removeable battery, which in turn recharges via a USB-C connection. (An emergency USB-C power port is also available on the exterior escutcheon.) Lockly takes the unusual but welcome step of including two battery packs in the box, so you don’t have to worry about hours of downtime when you need to recharge the pack. Under regular use, the company says a battery should last for about 8 months.
A wholly separate second manual is included that covers the electronic portion of the lock setup, and it’s arguably more important to study carefully because there are so many ways to use the lock. I’ll go through them all in turn.
Day-to-day use
This door sensor sticks out on a small wire from the corner of the Lockly Visage’s interior escutcheon and attaches to the side of the door. A separate magnetic component (not shown) attaches to the door jamb, opposite the sensor. When the two pieces are close enough together, they create a magnetic field that tells the lock the door is closed.Christopher Null/Foundry
We’ve already discussed using the Visage Zeno Series’ facial-recognition features, so let’s discuss the other ways to use the lock, starting with its keypad. Lockly’s locks all use the company’s homegrown PIN Genie keypad, which eschews a standard 10-key design and randomly drops the digits 0 through 9 into groups of three among four buttons, shuffling the digits each time the display pops up. The idea is that no one can guess your code by watching over your shoulder because they don’t know when you tap a button that reads, say, “728,” which of those digits is part of your PIN. Fingerprint smudge analysis is also useless because the numbers for the real PIN appear in different groups with every access.
PIN Genie offers better security, but it does slow you down and—in my testing—makes it easier to make mistakes. Fortunately (or not), the lock does not appear to have any lock-out mechanism, so you won’t be penalized for having to do it again. In Lockly’s app, the lock supports one admin PIN and 48 user PINs. Apple Home users get an additional 16 user codes.
The fingerprint reader below the keyhole works well, despite its being located in an awkward location. The Lockly Visage supports up to 99 stored fingerprints, but you can choose to use two of those slots for a single fingerprint if you want to provide double the number of sample scans of a print, which in theory should lead to fewer false negative scans.
I found the fingerprint scanner to be hit and miss and found it highly dependent upon getting a good angle and alignment on the scanner. That’s particularly hard to do because of the awkward, vertical placement at the bottom of the escutcheon. Expect more trial and error if you rely on the fingerprint reader a lot.
The new Lockly Home app
With this release, Lockly has an all-new app called Lockly Home, and it’s a modest refresh of the old one. You’ll still need to jump through some hoops during setup, including scanning a QR code on the lock and typing in an activation code found on a sticker attached to the box. Things get a little easier from there, although the app does not do a good job of hand-holding you through its many features. At one point I found the lock’s “remote control” feature was disabled. (That’s Lockly’s name for Wi-Fi.) How to fix it? You’ll need to dig around in the settings until you find the right option you need to turn it back on.
Lockly’s ingenious PIN Genie displays four sets of three numbers on its keypad. These are randomized, so that no observer can discern your PIN (5219, for instance) when you enter it.Lockly
Other aspects of the app seem even more undercooked. When I tapped “back” during the setup process, the initial configuration crashed and left me with a minimally configured lock. At that point I had to comb through the settings menus one at a time to find everything I needed to get the lock working properly. It’s the little things that can be grating: Searching for “Central” in the time zone menu brings up only the Central African Republic, not U.S. Central Time. And there are no fewer than three logging systems in the app, each showing a slightly different cut of the ways that your home has been accessed.
Fortunately, the basics of the app are more straightforward. User management is robust and allows for full-time access, time-restricted access, or single-use codes, and the lock allows for the creation of offline access codes, too (for use when you’re not connected to the internet). On-demand lock/unlock actions are quick and easy to initiate. Alexa and Google Home devices can also be used to unlock or lock the door. I rarely had an issue with the lock failing to respond to commands.
As mentioned above, the lock does support Apple’s HomeKit and Home Key (which is what the “Zeno Series” in the product name refers to). This is easy to configure once the initial setup is complete. You’ll scan a separate QR code on the interior escutcheon, and then walk through setup in the iOS Home app. Once configured, you can unlock the door by tapping the keypad with your phone or Apple Watch, although I found this required a little patience and trial and error in figuring out exactly where to place your device to register the tap.
Should you buy the Lockly Visage Zeno Series Facial Recognition Deadbolt?
At $349, the Lockly Visage isn’t cheap. In fact, it’s one of the most expensive locks on the market. But that makes sense given the bevy of features it has in store. In fact I can cautiously say it’s good value given everything it can do. Support for all the most common smart home ecosystems–including Apple Home–leaves Matter and Thread as the the only smart home protocols Lockly hasn’t embraced here.
But in the end, it’s the lock’s facial-recognition features that make it worth tolerating its inelegant industrial design. Read...Newslink ©2025 to PC World |  |
|  | | PC World - 4 hours ago (PC World)Smart entry locks are the biggest improvement to home security since the lock-and-key system was invented more than a thousand years ago. In many cases, smart locks dispense with physical keys altogether in favor of PINs, fingerprints, NFC tags, smartphone apps–even your smartphone or smart watch. And with some of the latest models, you can even unlock your door with just your face! Smart locks deliver lots of other benefits, too.
They invariably have logging systems, so you can keep track of who’s coming and going–and when. That’s incredibly useful whether you have a teenager who tends to break curfew or merely want to give temporary access to houseguests, service providers, or Airbnb guests. Smart locks are an incredible upgrade over the old way of doing things, and these are our top picks in several categories.
Why you should trust us
TechHive’s editors and contributors have been testing smart locks since the very first models came to market, and we continuously evaluate the latest models along with their accompanying apps. We’ve tested keyless smart locks, retrofit locks, locks with keypads, Bluetooth-only locks, locks that support geofencing, and more. You can trust us to guide you to the right smart lock for your needs.

Why we like the Level Lock+ Connect
Now bundled with the Level Connect Bluetooth-to-Wi-Fi bridge, the Level Lock+ Connect is fully compatible with all three of the major smart home platforms: Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit (including Apple’s “home key” NFC tech), and Google Home. The inclusion of the bridge also erases the biggest cons we had for this minimalist lock that looks as good as it operates. It remains our highest-rated smart lock–there is nothing better on the market today. Now a division of Assa Abbloy, Level is now in the process of activating the the Thread radios on Level Locks to add Matter compatibility.
Who should buy the Level Lock+ Connect
Activating the Thread radio in the Level Lock+ Connect renders it compatible with Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Matter devices, ironing the kinks Alexa and Google Home users might have experienced. The lock had already earned Matter certification, even with the dormant Thread radio.

Why we like the Kwikset Halo Select
You can integrate this attractive smart lock into your smart home system using either Wi-Fi or Matter over Thread, which will deliver much better battery life. While enabling the latter disables some of Kwikset’s own special features, the the system you’re integrating it into can presumably provide equivalent functionality. We also appreciate that Kwikset made the effort to obtain BHMA certification for this lock, not all manufacturers do.
Who should buy the Kwikset Halo Select
The Kwikset Halo Select strikes a good balance between the minimalism of our top pick in smart locks, the Level Lock+ Connect, and the ultra-sophisticated–and uber-expensive–Lockly Visage Pro. While it lacks a fingerprint reader and doesn’t support Apple Home Keys, it delivers lots of other features and it supports all the other smart home ecosystems, including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings.

Why we like the Wyze Lock Bolt
At $70, Wyze Labs’ Lock Bolt Bluetooth smart lock is dirt cheap compared to what the rest of the smart lock industry has to offer. Even better, it even includes a few features even advanced smart locks tend to miss. Installation is easy, you can create temporary PIN codes from anywhere, a fingerprint reader is included (a rarity at this price), and best of all, the lock worked flawlessly during our testing process.
Who should buy the Wyze Lock Bolt
If you can do without Wi-Fi connectivity, the Wyze Lock Bolt is a phenomenal value for a full-fledged smart lock (this isn’t just a retrofit device), especially given that it includes a fingerprint reader. Just be aware that as a Bluetooth-only device, the Wyze Lock Bolt lacks support for geofencing, voice commands, or integrations with broader smart home ecosystems. Still, this lock is a great value for the money.

Very easy to set up and use
Near flawless operation in daily use
Cons
Geofencing didn’t work

Why we like the Level Bolt Connect
Level Home’s Level Bolt Connect is our favorite retrofit smart lock, thanks in large measure to its ability to disappear. The smart components of the Bolt hide inside your door, where they replace the interior mechanical elements of your existing deadbolt. You re-attach your existing interior and exterior components, so that your door’s overall aesthetic doesn’t change in the least.
Who should buy the Level Bolt Connect
Now that it comes bundled with the Level Connect Bluetooth-to-Wi-Fi bridge, the Level Bolt Connect is compatible with all three of the major smart home ecosystems–Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Home–making it a great choice for those looking to retrofit their locks regardless of their smart home platform. Level is also in the process of activating the Level Bolt’s Thread radio, adding Matter support to its long list of features.

Why we like the Lockly Visage Zeno Series Facial Recognition Deadbolt
This smart lock’s facial recognition technology works delightfully well, and it can be opened via a host of other ways, too: Fingerprint, PIN code, smartphone app, NFC tag, and for those in the Apple Home camp, either an iPhone or an Apple Watch. Our enthusiasm is mildly tempered by this lock gargantuan proportions and less-than-elegant industrial design, but there’s just no competition in terms of its sophistication.
Who should buy the Lockly Visage Zeno Series Facial Recognition Deadbolt
Yes, it’s a very expensive smart lock; and no, it doesn’t support Matter, but if you want the ultimate flexibility when it comes to opening your door, there’s nothing quite like Lockly’s high-end offering.
What to look for when shopping for a smart lock
As you’ve doubtless realized by now, not all smart locks are made alike. Some smart locks are designed to completely replace an old “dumb” lock, while others are meant to retrofit an existing lock. Some smart locks will let you create PINs for guests, while others can unlock automatically once you cross a virtual geofence. Here’s a guide to some of the key design options and features in the smart lock category.
Smart home hub integration
If you have an existing hub like a Samsung SmartThings, Homey Pro, or an Apple TV, you’ll want to ensure your chosen smart lock is compatible from the start. Many smart locks support Bluetooth, so they work with your phone, but lack the technology needed to connect with your home network.
Some Bluetooth locks, like the Yale Assure system and the August Smart Lock, offer a radio module as an add-on to connect to your home network. If you’re using a smart home hub like the Samsung SmartThings or a Homey Pro, look for a lock that supports Z-Wave or Zigbee, instead.
Then there’s Matter, the new smart home standard that promises to unite the major smart home ecosystems. The good news is that smart locks are included in the Matter specification; the bad news is that for now, only a few Matter-enabled smart locks are available. We look forward to checking out more Matter smart locks in the weeks and months ahead.
Entry means
From apps and keypads to fingerprint readers and good, old-fashioned keys, there are myriad ways to unlock a smart lock. Make sure to pick a model that supports the entry method (or methods) you prefer.
Power backup
What do you do if the batteries inside the lock die—and you’re stuck outside? Some locks allow for emergency power to be applied should this happen. Yale’s Real Living locks feature external posts to which you can connect a 9-volt battery, giving you enough juice to get the door open. Other models retain the traditional key cylinder for backup, while still others have a USB-C port for quick-charging an onboard battery.
Geofencing
Bad about manually locking the door when you leave? A geofencing system automatically locks the door when it detects your phone has left the vicinity, and can be set to automatically open up when it finds you’ve come home.
Guest access features
Most smart locks let you set up temporary keys for houseguests, which you can delete when they’ve returned home. Smarter systems even let you set time restrictions around when each access code can be used.
Frequently asked questions about smart locks
1.
What benefits do smart smart locks deliver?
You can thank the hospitality industry for finally pushing locks into the digital age. Hotels learned long ago that keys are easily lost, expensive to replace, and simple to bypass, as thieves can pick locks or simply make copies of a key to allow for unfettered future access.
On the flipside, hotel guests have readily accepted key cards (and in some cases, smartphone-based solutions) as the primary means of getting into their room. The electronic solution is just so much simpler. Lost hotel key card? Replacing it is no big deal.
But the biggest benefit of electronic entry systems is that they are highly configurable. Digital locks can be changed at a moment’s notice (which is why that old hotel key card in your wallet isn’t good for anything), and the property owner can generate a record of when each door was opened.
In a more advanced setting, different keys can be generated for the same lock, so a homeowner can tell when each member of the family came in, or when the housekeeper arrived.
2.
How do you pick a smart lock? (No pun intended)
This is a young and wildly immature space, and many products on the market are still extremely rough around the edges. Even top products can balk when dealing with old or stiff deadbolts, doors that don’t shut well, or environments where non-standard fixtures are in use.
The bottom line is that it’s tough to declare that any product is universally perfect for every home. That said, here are some key considerations to take into account to help you narrow down your shopping list.
3.
Are some smart locks smarter than others?
Some “smart locks” don’t work with a smartphone app or any smart home networking hubs at all; they’re really just electronic locks that use a code instead of a key to open up.
One step up from that, you’ll find Bluetooth-only locks. These work with a smartphone app, but can’t be monitored remotely or via a smart home system. That’s fine if you’re looking to get rid of the keys in your pocket, but less impressive if you want to make your entrance portals a true part of your home network.
Finally, there are full-on smart locks that connect to your smart home system via Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi.
4.
Do I need to completely replace my old lock to install a smart lock?
You’re forgiven if you don’t want to replace your antique doorknob on your vintage Victorian with a metallic device that looks like it would be more at home keeping people out of a strip mall bank branch.
A sizeable number of smart lock products don’t require you to replace all your existing hardware. Instead, they are installed on the inside of the door only, replacing only the interior part of the deadbolt. You can continue to use a standard key from the outside or open the lock via a smartphone app.
Other notable smart locks we’ve reviewed
We’ve evaluated many other smart locks. If none of our top picks check all the boxes for you, take a look at these other products. We’ve also listed some smart locks that you should avoid.
Abode Smart Lock: There’s nothing remarkable about this retrofit smart lock–apart from it’s $130 sale price at launch–and our enthusiasm for it was further dampened when the first review unit we were sent turned out to be defective.
Eufy Smart Lock E30: Matter over Thread support is this smart lock’s primary claim to fame, but we had difficulty incorporating it into any of the Matter smart home hubs we have on had. If that feature doesn’t matter to you, this lock has several other great features to recommend it.
Eufy Video Smart Lock S330: This remarkable replacement smart lock features a touchscreen keypad, a fingerprint reader, and an integrated video doorbell. This lock’s gargantuan dimensions–and a few day-to-day operational glitches–temper our enthusiasm for this lock, but there’s no denying Eufy’s ambition level.
Kwikset Halo Select: Kwikset has long been one of our favorite smart lock brands, and this model doesn’t disappoint. It supports both Wi-Fi and Matter (over Thread) connectivity, and we found it fabulously easy to install.
Lockly Duo: The Lockly Duo effectively combines a latch and deadbolt in a single smart unit, but the resulting device is enormous–and a bit wonky.
Philips 4000-series smart deadbolt: We reviewed the Bluetooth version of this inexpensive smart deadbolt that has an integrated fingerprint reader, but you can buy a $40 bridge that will connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt: This robustly built smart lock is compatible with nearly every modern smart home ecosystem: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, including the latter’s “home key” NFC technology that allows you to unlock the door by holding your iPhone or Apple Watch next to it.
Securam EOS: Connectivity drops are a big problem with this otherwise innovative and solid smart lock.
Yale Approach Lock with Wi-Fi + Keypad: Retrofit locks are an attractive option for enters who can’t change their locks and homeowners who don’t want to change the exterior aesthetic of their existing door hardware, but this Yale product took longer to install than a full replacement lock.
Yale Assure Lock 2 Key-Free Touchscreen with Bluetooth: Yale is a strong player in the smart lock market, and its products are priced accordingly. This one is a Bluetooth only model, but you can add Wi-Fi connectivity with an $80 bridge.
Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Wi-Fi: This step-up model from Yale adds a fingerprint reader and it comes with a Wi-Fi bridge, but we found that its numeric keypad is nearly impossible to see in direct sunlight. We had to shade it with one hand while tapping our PIN code with the other. On the bright side, it supports Apple HomeKit (but not Apple Home Key) in addition to Alexa and Google Home.
U-Tec Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint Matter: This smart lock has an excellent fingerprint reader and it supports Matter over Thread (so, you’ll need a Thread border router to connect it to your Wi-Fi network). But we were very disappointed with the grinding and whining motor noise this lock produced, which is uncharacteristic of this brand. Read...Newslink ©2025 to PC World |  |
