- Description: A spec-by-spec read of seven keypad deadbolts and knob locks, from a 1.76 lb budget TEEHO to a 2025 Philips WiFi handle set. Which one fits your door, and which ones publish a warranty at all.

The best keypad smart lock for homeowners is the Yamiry YR01, a matte black knob-style unit measuring 0.79 x 5.5 x 2.95 in that swaps in where a standard door knob already sits. If your door has a deadbolt hole instead, the Philips DDL242X-1HW is the better buy at 1.4 lb with built-in Wi-Fi and no hub. Get the body style wrong and you're left drilling a fresh bore in a door you own, patching a hole you can't hide, or returning a lock that never fit. That single decision costs more time than every feature on the box.

## How the seven were screened

I weighted four criteria, in this order, and the order is deliberate.

1. **Body style match.** Whether the lock replaces a knob, a deadbolt, or both. Nothing else matters if it doesn't fit the holes in your door.
2. **Published dimensions.** Every one of the seven lists dimensions, which lets you check clearance before you buy. That was a hard filter.
3. **Written warranty.** Two of the seven publish warranty terms on the listing. That's a real separator in this set.
4. **Entry methods on record.** Codes, fingerprint, app, physical key, voice.

Body style leads because it's the only irreversible variable. A homeowner drilling a new bore is committing to that hardware forever, and a bore in the wrong spot devalues the door. Dimensions come second because a 4.49 in deep interior escutcheon can foul door trim or a storm door that a 1.3 in profile clears easily.

Warranty ranks third rather than first for a reason worth stating plainly. Only the TEEHO TE001 and the Veise VE017 publish terms, so ranking warranty highest would have handed the top two slots to those two and ignored the fit question entirely. Entry methods rank last because every lock here claims several, and claims are the manufacturer's, not mine.

## Does a keypad lock actually suit a homeowner?

Here's the honest part. Most keypad lock listings, including several in this set, are written for landlords. Yamiry's own bullets for the YR01 say the lock is "ideal for landlords and property managers." Philips describes its passcode options as "perfect for family, guests, housekeepers, or Airbnb use." Veise calls its access system "designed with multi-tenant" management in mind.

None of that disqualifies the hardware for a house you live in. It does mean the marketing is aimed elsewhere, and the features that get top billing are the ones a rental operator needs: bulk code creation, remote revocation, entry logs. As an owner-occupier you'll use maybe three of them.

What genuinely helps a homeowner:

- Auto-lock, so the door secures itself when you carry groceries in
- One or two permanent codes for family, not twenty
- A physical key backup you can hand to a neighbour
- A low battery indicator, so the lock never dies unannounced

What you'll probably never touch is the scheduled-code system. Judge these locks on fit, build and battery arrangement, not on tenant management. That's the frame I've used throughout.

## Which body style fits your door?

Go look at your door before you read another word about fingerprint speed.

**A knob bore only.** One round hole, about mid-height, with a knob or lever in it. The Yamiry YR01 and the Yamiry YR04 are your candidates. Both are knob-style units with the keypad on the exterior rosette.

**A knob bore plus a deadbolt hole above it.** The most common setup on a US front door. Any of the five deadbolts drops into the upper hole and leaves your existing knob alone. The Philips DDL242X-1HW-L goes further and replaces the handle too, so you get matched hardware in one box.

**A deadbolt hole only.** Common on garage-to-house doors and some back doors. The TEEHO TE001, at 1.76 lb and a 1.3 x 5.12 x 2.95 in profile, is the least intrusive fit.

Depth matters as much as the faceplate. The eufy C220 measures 4.41 x 7.67 x 4.49 in, which is by far the largest body in this group, while the Philips DDL242X-1HW is 1.5 x 6 x 2 in. Measure from your door face to the nearest trim, storm door frame or wall return. If that gap is tight, the slim Philips profile wins by default.

## 1\. Yamiry Smart Door Handle Lock with Keypad — Best overall

**A knob-and-keypad combo that fits the hole most homeowners already have, in the slimmest profile of the two knob locks here.**

[![Matte black Yamiry knob lock with exterior keypad and fingerprint reader — the knob body fits an existing door bore without new drilling](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41KO4rboWdL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C66NCTXX?tag=dieless-20)

**Best for:** an owner-occupied front door with a knob bore, not a deadbolt **Skip it if:** your door already has a deadbolt hole you want filled

The YR01 earns the top slot on fit. Five of these seven locks are deadbolts, which means they need a second hole above your knob. The YR01 goes into the bore that's already there, and at 0.79 x 5.5 x 2.95 in it's the shallowest body in the group by a wide margin. That 0.79 in figure is the one to note if a storm door or a deep architrave sits close to your door face.

Yamiry lists six unlocking methods for the YR01 and describes installation as quick, though the listing doesn't put a time figure on it the way the company's YR04 bullets do. The app handles access management, which for a homeowner mostly means adding a code for a dog walker and deleting it later.

The trade-offs are real. Yamiry publishes no warranty terms for the YR01, where TEEHO and Veise both do. It sells more slowly here than the YR04, the eufy or either Philips. And only two sellers list it, so your options are thin if the first one is out. As a knob replacement in a matte black finish, though, nothing else in this set does the same job in the same footprint.

**Pros:**

- Fits an existing knob bore, no new drilling
- Shallowest body here at 0.79 in
- Six listed unlocking methods including fingerprint
- Matte black finish matches common exterior hardware

**Cons:**

- No warranty terms published on the listing
- Weight not listed, so hardware load is a guess
- Only two sellers stock it
- Sells more slowly than four of the six others

## 2\. Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt Lock — Runner-up

**The slimmest deadbolt here at 1.5 x 6 x 2 in, with Wi-Fi built into the lock instead of a separate bridge.**

[![Philips matte black Wi-Fi deadbolt with backlit keypad — the 1.5 in depth clears tight door trim](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41md4wNxpUL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5QKCD3S?tag=dieless-20)

**Best for:** someone who wants remote unlocking without buying a hub **Skip it if:** your router's 2.4GHz band is unreliable at the front door

The DDL242X-1HW is the deadbolt I'd point most homeowners toward, and the reason is the depth. At 1.5 x 6 x 2 in and 1.4 lb, it's the lightest and slimmest deadbolt in this comparison. Doors with tight trim, glass side panels or a storm door benefit directly from that.

Philips says Wi-Fi is built in with no extra hub needed, and that the lock supports app, passcode, fingerprint, physical key and voice entry through Alexa or Google Assistant. The listing also claims up to 100 custom passcodes plus unlimited one-time or scheduled codes. A homeowner will use four of those hundred. What matters is that the lock connects on its own, so there's no second box to plug in and no gateway to buy separately.

It's a 2025 release, which cuts both ways: current design, shorter track record. Philips publishes no warranty terms here, and only one seller lists it. It also sits in the more expensive half of this group, and the Yamiry YR01 fits more doors for less. That's why it's second and not first.

**Pros:**

- Lightest deadbolt here at 1.4 lb
- 1.5 in depth clears tight door trim
- Wi-Fi claimed built in, no separate hub
- Physical key backup listed alongside code and fingerprint

**Cons:**

- No published warranty terms
- Only one seller lists it
- Needs a deadbolt hole, so it won't replace a knob
- Among the more expensive picks here for a deadbolt-only unit

## 3\. TEEHO TE001 Keyless Entry Deadbolt with Keypad for Front — Best budget pick

**The cheapest of the seven, the one buyers choose most often here, and one of only two with warranty terms in writing.**

[![TEEHO TE001 matte black keypad deadbolt with number pad — a 2-year published warranty backs the cheapest pick here](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41YEcbSEVhL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P56Z4JC?tag=dieless-20)

**Best for:** a first keypad lock on a side or garage door **Skip it if:** you want phone control or fingerprint entry

The TE001 is the cheapest of the seven and the one buyers choose most often in this group by a very wide margin. It's also one of only two picks that publishes warranty terms: TEEHO lists a 30-day customer commitment, a 2-year warranty and lifetime after-sales service with phone support Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM PST, plus 24/7 email.

It's the simplest lock here, and that's the appeal. TEEHO lists 20 access codes plus a one-time PIN that deletes itself after use, auto-lock configurable from 10 to 99 seconds and off by default, and a one-touch lock by holding any key for 2 seconds. The company claims up to 365 days on 4 AA batteries, not included, with a red indicator below 15%. Construction is described as aluminium alloy with IP54 weather resistance and anti-peeping code entry.

What you give up is everything connected. No app, no fingerprint, no voice. At 1.76 lb and 1.3 x 5.12 x 2.95 in it's compact, but you'll be typing a code every time. For a garage entry or a rarely used side door that's fine. For a front door you use ten times a day, the knob picks or the Philips are less tedious.

**Pros:**

- Cheapest of the seven
- 2-year warranty published, plus 30-day commitment
- 20 codes plus self-deleting one-time PIN
- Auto-lock adjustable from 10 to 99 seconds
- Slim 1.3 in depth at 1.76 lb

**Cons:**

- No app control listed
- No fingerprint entry
- Batteries not included
- Deadbolt only, so it won't replace a knob

## 4\. Yamiry Keypad Smart Door Knob Lock — Best for heavy use

**A 2.6 lb aluminium alloy knob set with a 15-minute install claim and auto-lock timing from 5 to 99 seconds.**

[![Yamiry YR04 matte black keypad knob lock with backlit pad — the heaviest knob body here at 2.6 lb](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31toYwMzH0L._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D73J4DZ5?tag=dieless-20)

**Best for:** a busy back door that gets opened a dozen times a day **Skip it if:** you need remote access while you're away

The YR04 is the heaviest of the two Yamiry knob locks at 2.6 lb, with a 2.7 x 5.62 x 3 in body. Weight in door hardware usually tracks metal content, and Yamiry describes the body as aluminium alloy with IP54 weather resistance. It's also the second-cheapest pick here and sells faster than the YR01, so it's the knob-style lock more buyers land on.

The practical details suit a door in constant use. Yamiry lists auto-lock timing from 5 to 99 seconds with the option to disable it, which is the widest published range in this set. That 5-second floor matters on a door you want secured the instant it shuts. There's a backlit keypad, a low battery indicator, anti-prying code entry, 20 codes for family plus a one-time guest code, and a duplicable physical key. Yamiry says installation takes under 15 minutes with a screwdriver and that codes run 4 to 8 digits.

The gap is connectivity. There's no app or Wi-Fi in the listed features, so everything happens at the door. It's also the bulkiest knob here at 3 in deep, nearly four times the YR01's 0.79 in. And like the YR01, no warranty terms are published, with a single seller listing it.

**Pros:**

- Aluminium alloy body with IP54 weather resistance claim
- Auto-lock from 5 to 99 seconds, the widest range here
- 20 codes plus one-time guest code
- Install claimed under 15 minutes with a screwdriver
- Second-cheapest of the seven

**Cons:**

- No app or remote access listed
- 3 in depth, the bulkiest knob body here
- No published warranty terms
- Only one seller lists it

## 5\. Veise VE017 Fingerprint Smart Door Lock with App Control — Best for beginners

**The only pick that publishes both a warranty extension and stated support hours, which is what a first-time installer actually wants.**

[![Veise VE017 matte black fingerprint deadbolt — the published 2-year coverage and phone support hours back a first install](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41CE9enVz8L._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCJYTLFX?tag=dieless-20)

**Best for:** a nervous first-time installer who wants a warranty in writing **Skip it if:** you want voice control without buying a separate gateway

The VE017 is the pick I'd hand someone fitting their first smart lock, because the support terms are on the page. Veise publishes a 1-year limited warranty plus a free 1-year extension on registration for 2 years total, lifetime phone support Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 7 AM to 3 PM PST, and 24/7 after-sales email. Nothing else in this set except the TEEHO commits to hours in writing, and the TEEHO doesn't offer phone support on Saturdays.

It's also the cheapest pick that offers app control, which is a genuinely useful combination. Veise lists eight unlocking methods including fingerprint using Swedish FPC sensing, app entry through KK Home, fob card, code and code sharing. The company claims an on-device AI chip verifies fingerprints and that access data, including credentials and fingerprints, is AES128 encrypted and stored locally on the lock rather than in a cloud account. For a homeowner uneasy about biometrics leaving the house, that's the standout claim here.

At 2.25 lb and 3 x 2.7 x 5.8 in it's a mid-depth body. The catch sits in Veise's own footnote: Alexa and Google voice control is marked as needing a G1 gateway, so voice isn't included out of the box. It also sells more slowly than every other pick in this group.

**Pros:**

- 2 years total coverage with registration
- Support hours published, including Saturdays
- Cheapest pick here with app control
- Fingerprint data claimed encrypted and stored on the lock
- Eight listed unlocking methods

**Cons:**

- Voice assistants need a separate gateway
- The slowest seller of the seven
- Deadbolt only, so it won't replace a knob
- Fingerprint speed claim is unquantified on the listing

## 6\. eufy Security Smart Lock C220 — Best for families

**Eight AA batteries and a claimed 8-month runtime, with Apple Home listed among six unlocking routes.**

[![eufy C220 black fingerprint deadbolt with keypad — eight AA batteries drive a claimed 8-month runtime for a busy household](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31gYCXL3t9L._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7C69FPS?tag=dieless-20)

**Best for:** households on Apple devices with several fingerprints to enrol **Skip it if:** your door trim leaves less than 4.49 in of clearance

The C220 is the pick for a house full of people. eufy lists six ways to unlock, including fingerprint in under a second, the eufy Security app, keypad, physical key and Apple Home. It's the only lock in this group whose listing names Apple as an entry route, which matters if your household is on iPhones and you want the lock in an existing Home setup.

Power is handled differently from everything else here. eufy specifies 8 AA batteries for a claimed 8 months of runtime, where TEEHO uses 4 AA and claims longer. More cells means more weight and bulk but fewer surprise failures mid-cycle in a door that gets opened constantly. eufy also says fingerprint recognition improves with each touch through self-learning, and that Wi-Fi is built in with no bridge, so the app works from anywhere. If you own a eufy doorbell, the listing says the lock can join routines with it.

The size is the problem. At 4.41 x 7.67 x 4.49 in this is comfortably the largest body in the comparison, roughly triple the depth of the Philips DDL242X-1HW. Measure your trim clearance before ordering. It's also among the more expensive picks, publishes no warranty terms, and the listing dates the model to 2017, making it the oldest design of the seven.

**Pros:**

- 8 AA batteries, claimed 8-month runtime
- Apple Home listed among six unlock methods
- Wi-Fi claimed built in, no bridge needed
- Works with eufy doorbell routines

**Cons:**

- Largest body here at 4.49 in deep
- No published warranty terms
- Oldest design in this set, listed as 2017
- Weight not published, despite 8 batteries

## 7\. Philips WiFi Keypad Deadbolt with Handle — Best premium

**The only pick that replaces the deadbolt and the handle together, so both halves of your door match.**

[![Philips WiFi deadbolt and matching matte black handle set — one purchase replaces both pieces of door hardware](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41iUQeuGaVL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F61WG9F2?tag=dieless-20)

**Best for:** replacing a deadbolt and a handle in one purchase **Skip it if:** you'd rather match your existing lever hardware

The DDL242X-1HW-L is the most expensive pick here, and it's the only one that arrives as a complete set. You get the keypad deadbolt plus a matching handle, which solves a problem homeowners hit constantly: a shiny new matte black deadbolt sitting above a tired brass lever. Buying both pieces separately in matching finishes is fiddly. This is one box.

The deadbolt half is closely related to the runner-up. Philips lists 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with no hub, app control through Philips Home Access for locking, unlocking, code and fingerprint management and access monitoring, plus Alexa and Google voice commands. The passcode system covers permanent, one-time, periodic and recurring codes. Philips puts a figure on the biometrics too, claiming 0.3-second fingerprint access, which is the only quantified unlock speed anywhere in this set.

At 1.5 x 6 x 2.2 in the deadbolt body is only marginally deeper than the DDL242X-1HW, so tight trim isn't an issue. It's also the fastest-selling of the seven after the TEEHO. But it's the priciest pick with no published warranty terms, and it's a 2025 release with a short history. If your existing handle is fine, the plain DDL242X-1HW gets you the same lock technology for less.

**Pros:**

- Deadbolt and matching handle in one purchase
- 0.3-second fingerprint claim, the only quantified speed here
- 2.4GHz Wi-Fi claimed with no hub
- Permanent, one-time, periodic and recurring codes
- Three sellers stock it, the most in this set

**Cons:**

- Most expensive pick here
- No published warranty terms
- Handle finish must match your other doors or it will stand out
- Weight not listed for a two-piece hardware set

## What more money buys across these seven

Spending more in this group buys connectivity, then hardware count. It does not reliably buy a warranty.

At the entry end, the TEEHO TE001 and the Yamiry YR04 give you codes, auto-lock and a physical key. Both publish auto-lock ranges. Neither lists an app. The Veise VE017 sits at the same tier and adds app control and fingerprint, which makes it the best value jump in this comparison.

In the middle, the Yamiry YR01 buys you body style rather than features: a knob replacement instead of a deadbolt, in a 0.79 in profile.

At the top, both Philips units and the eufy C220 add built-in Wi-Fi for remote access without a hub, plus voice assistants. The Philips DDL242X-1HW-L goes furthest by including the handle.

Here's the part worth pausing on. The two cheapest-tier picks with published warranties, TEEHO at 2 years and Veise at 2 years with registration, are the only warranties in the set. Every premium pick here leaves warranty terms off the listing. Paying more in this category does not get you more coverage on paper.

## What the listings don't tell you

Four gaps show up across all seven listings, and you should plan around each.

- **Battery type is often unstated.** Only TEEHO (4 AA) and eufy (8 AA) specify cells and count. The rest leave it off, so budget for batteries you can't pre-buy.
- **Bolt throw and backset are missing everywhere.** No listing here publishes a 1-inch throw figure or a 2-3/8 versus 2-3/4 in backset. Most modern deadbolts ship adjustable, but none of these confirms it in writing.
- **Door thickness range is absent.** Standard exterior doors run 1-3/4 in. If yours is thicker, or you have a decorative storm door, nothing in these listings tells you whether the spindle reaches.
- **Security grading isn't cited.** No pick in this set names an ANSI or BHMA grade. Aluminium alloy construction and IP54 weather resistance are mentioned by TEEHO and Yamiry, but those describe material and moisture, not forced-entry resistance.
- **Fingerprint capacity is vague.** Veise, Philips and eufy all promote fingerprint entry. None states how many prints the lock stores.

Read those absences as absences, not as failures. Just don't fill them in with assumptions. Measure your door, check the bore, and confirm anything critical with the seller before you take a screwdriver to hardware you own.

## The verdict

The best keypad smart lock for homeowners is the Yamiry YR01, because it solves the problem most keypad locks create. Five of these seven picks are deadbolts that need a hole your door may not have. The YR01 replaces the knob that's already there, and its 0.79 x 5.5 x 2.95 in body is shallow enough to clear a storm door or deep trim that would foul a bulkier lock.

Two conditions flip that. First, if your door already has a deadbolt bore above the knob, take the Philips DDL242X-1HW instead. At 1.4 lb and 1.5 x 6 x 2 in it's the lightest and slimmest deadbolt here, and Philips lists built-in Wi-Fi with no hub, so remote unlocking works without extra hardware. That's the runner-up's exact advantage: connectivity in the thinnest deadbolt body in this comparison.

Second, if a written warranty is what settles it, buy the Veise VE017\. It publishes 2 years total with registration, lifetime phone support with stated hours including Saturdays, and 24/7 email. Nothing at the premium end of this set publishes any warranty at all.

Want the simplest possible lock for a garage or side door? The TEEHO TE001 is the cheapest of the seven, carries a 2-year warranty, and claims 365 days on 4 AA batteries.

## FAQ

### Is a keypad smart lock worth it for a house you own?

A keypad smart lock is worth it for an owner-occupied house mainly for auto-lock and key-free entry. The TEEHO TE001 lets you set auto-lock from 10 to 99 seconds; the Yamiry YR04 goes from 5 to 99 seconds. That means the door secures itself when your hands are full. The tenant-management features most listings advertise you'll rarely use.

### Which keypad smart lock for homeowners gives the best value?

The best value keypad smart lock for homeowners in this set is the Veise VE017\. It's the cheapest pick offering app control and fingerprint entry, and it publishes 2 years total coverage with registration plus support hours in writing. If you don't need an app, the TEEHO TE001 costs less, also carries a 2-year warranty, and claims 365 days on 4 AA batteries.

### Will these locks fit my existing door holes?

These locks fit existing door holes only if you match the body style. Five are deadbolts needing a hole above the knob: the two Philips units, TEEHO, Veise and eufy. Two are knob replacements that use the bore you already have: the Yamiry YR01 and YR04\. None publishes a backset or door thickness range, so measure both before ordering.

### Yamiry YR01 or Philips DDL242X-1HW: which should I buy?

Choose the Yamiry YR01 if your door has a knob bore and no deadbolt hole, since it drops straight in at 0.79 in deep. Choose the Philips DDL242X-1HW if you have a deadbolt hole and want remote access, because Philips lists built-in Wi-Fi with no hub in a 1.4 lb, 1.5 in profile. Body style decides it, not features.

### What's the biggest mistake buying a keypad lock?

The biggest mistake is ignoring interior clearance. The eufy C220 measures 4.41 x 7.67 x 4.49 in, roughly triple the depth of the Philips DDL242X-1HW at 1.5 x 6 x 2 in. A storm door frame, a deep architrave or a wall return can block the larger body entirely. Hold a tape measure to your door face before you order anything.

Go and look at your door right now. One round hole means the Yamiry YR01\. A round hole with a second bore above it means the Philips DDL242X-1HW, or the DDL242X-1HW-L if your handle is due for replacement too. That thirty-second check saves more grief than any specification in this article. The YR01 stays my default because it asks nothing of your door that isn't already there, and in hardware you own outright, a lock that needs no new drilling is the one you can undo. Everything else here is a preference. Fit is not.
