Discover the 7 Best Smart Locks for 2026 Perfect for Front Side and Garage Doors

City: This article covers seven smart locks that are the best for 2026. They work well for front doors, side doors, and garages.

First, we have the Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint for $200. It’s easy to install on standard doors and connects to Wi-Fi. Some users had trouble at first but got it working after a few tries. The app lets you unlock the door and even shares user codes. The fingerprint sensor can be tricky, but it works well most of the time. There is an auto-lock feature that can be turned on or off.

Next is the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro for $120. This lock connects easily to Wi-Fi and has a backup keyhole if the battery dies. It runs on four AA batteries, which last two months, and it has a charging port for emergencies. While it works great, many prefer the fingerprint models for quality.

The Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch sells for $300. This one replaces your deadbolt and comes with a single key. It works with a keypad and a fingerprint reader. A technician installed it for me with the ADT security system. You can control it mainly through the ADT+ app. However, I wish the auto-lock time could be longer than three minutes.

Another option is the Yale Assure Touchscreen Lever Lock for $249. This lock doesn’t have a deadbolt and wakes with a light touch. You can see who’s been using it with the Yale Access app. It is compatible with Google Home, Apple Home, and Alexa. Although setup was tough, it works well, and there are two physical keys for backup.

Lastly, avoid the Eufy FamiLock S3 Max for $350. It has a camera which is cool, but it didn’t fit my door correctly after it was installed.

For any smart lock, consider your needs and see what works best for your home.
