This Complete Philips Smart Door Lock Set Is Now on Sale for 40% Off.
The Philips WiFi door lock with keypad and handle has been reduced to $109.98 from its regular price of $179.99, which, according to price tracking sites, is the lowest price available right now. For this price, you get a smart lock, keypad, fingerprint scanner, app control, and a matching handle all in one package. Many smart locks at this price only replace the lock, so including the handle gives the feeling of a more complete front door upgrade without the need to purchase additional components. However, it runs on eight AA batteries, which are not included.
The main advantage is its ease of use: since the device connects directly to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, there’s no need to purchase, connect, or troubleshoot a separate bridge or hub. Once connected, you can unlock the door with your fingerprint, enter a PIN on the keypad, use the Philips Home Access app, or, if needed, use a physical key. The app is especially useful for checking if the door is locked, viewing recent access history, or letting someone in while you’re away—it allows you to create different types of codes for different people, including one-time codes for guests or repeating codes for cleaners, dog walkers, or family members. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so checking if the front door is locked is as simple as asking the smart speaker.
Philips states that the lock is designed for doors between 1⅜ and 1¾ inches thick, and installation should be possible with a screwdriver, though replacing both the deadbolt and handle will still require some patience. Once installed, you can set automatic locking to occur within 0 to 180 seconds of closing. Overall, this is probably a more advanced smart lock than you need if you only want a basic keypad. But if you want app control, fingerprint entry, guest codes, and a neater handle all in one package, then this Philips offering, for just over $100, makes sense.
