I have reviewed many smart locks over the years, and I have been impressed by the recent models SwitchBot has launched. Today I have something a little different, because this lock is built for deadbolts, the style traditionally fitted in the US. In the UK, we typically use multi-point locks on our uPVC doors. Though…
I originally wrote this post back in 2021, when my top recommendation was the Yale Linus Smart Lock. It was a great lock at the time, but not something I would recommend now, and it has been superseded by the Yale Linus Smart Lock L2. In the years since, a lot of amazing options have…
I reviewed the Ultion Smart Lock back in 2020, which integrated the Danalock V3 into a handle and included an Ultion high-security cylinder. I thought it was an excellent lock, and the £50 or so price premium over a Danalock V3 seemed well worth it. Admittedly, the Danalock part of it was not the best…

I reviewed the Nuki Smart Lock 2.0 back in 2019, which was my first review of a smart lock that integrated with your existing door hardware and allowed you to continue using your key. At the time, I was somewhat critical of the way it mounted on UK door handles, but since then, I have…

I previously reviewed the Aqara Smart Lock U200, and at the time, it was my favourite smart lock I had tried. I continued to use it as my primary smart lock until May this year, when I reviewed the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo. I am tempted to move back as I have had to…
I have previously reviewed the SwitchBot Lock Pro and found it to be excellent. I have continued to use it on my back door but have favoured the Aqara Smart Lock U200 for my front door. This has now changed with the launch of the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo, which combines the new SwitchBot…
I have been a big fan of smart locks for several years now. My preference has typically been smart locks, which use your existing hardware and work by turning the key in the cylinder. I currently have the SwitchBot Lock Pro on my back door and the Aqara Smart Lock U200 Review on my front…
I have been a big fan of smart door locks for several years now. The Yale Linus was the first lock that I committed to using full-time. I later fitted the Ultion Smart Lock on my back door. More recently, I switched to the Aqara Smart Lock U200 for my front door and the SwitchBot…
