Best smart deadbolt locks of 2020

Looking for the best smart lock to install in your stylish new home? Or simply wanting to upgrade your lock system to something more convenient and modern? We've got you.

There are many different kinds of smart and digital locks, and it's important to know which is best suited for you and your home.

One of the most compatible lock sets around the world is the deadbolt. It's usually separate from the door handle, and much simpler to install. There's no need to remove or modify your existing handle and the new lock can also act as a value-add to existing doors.

We've compared the top deadbolts this year that we liked for your convenience!

Schlage S-480 Digital Door Lock

This is a lock to get if you don't wish to compromise on security or design. With up to ten different user PIN codes or up to 50 cards for access, as well as one-time PIN codes for visitors, the Schlage S-480 is convenient for an everyday user.

Incorporated with security features such as a key protection system that prevents others from seeing your PIN code, as well as a built-in alarm that is able to detect forced entry, you can be assured that this will keep your home safe and secure.

igloohome Deadbolt 2S Metal Grey

The slimmest deadbolt in the world, the igloohome Deadbolt 2S Metal Grey is an attractive model that packs a ton of features.

The first thing to catch anyone's attention is how slim the front panel is. Measuring at 11mm thickness, it's not your usual industrial and bulky aesthetic. The keyhole is also concealed with a magnet cover to avoid tampering - keeping to its sleek exterior.

Not only is it a stylish addition to any home, the Deadbolt 2S Metal Grey comes with features that can rival the big boys too.

The smart lock does not require an internet connection despite its remote capabilities. While most locks in the market are just digital, igloohome's one is mobile app-enabled. This means enjoying features that usually only exist in wifi-compatible locks!

Thanks to the algoPIN™ technology, users can grant access to guests anytime, anywhere; if you love having people over or considered renting your home - the Deadbolt 2S Metal Grey is the perfect option. Remotely assign time-sensitive PIN codes, view activity logs of who and when someone enters your home.

The time-sensitivity aspect of access makes it safer for everyone. Got a cleaner that comes in once a week? Send a recurring PIN code that's only valid for the stipulated days and hours. Have a friend drop something off in your home without worries, create a One-time PIN that renders it invalid once it's been used. The possibilities are endless.

More than just a lock, it's a guest management system that simply works.
