SMONET Smart Locks: Keyless Entry Made Easy for Your Front Door
As Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you click through and make a purchase.
SMONET makes affordable smart locks aimed at homeowners and rental hosts who want to stop carrying keys. A SMONET keyless entry door lock usually combines several ways to get in, such as a fingerprint reader, a touchscreen keypad, key fobs, a phone app and a backup metal key, and most of its models come as full handle sets so you replace the deadbolt and the door handle in one go.
The six locks here run from Bluetooth handle sets (the A1 in black and gold, and the A1-SBF2H-S) to the H6 with a Wi-Fi gateway in the box, and on to two AH1 models with built-in Wi-Fi and Apple Home Key, so the main differences are how you unlock remotely and whether you want an iPhone tap-to-unlock.

Smart Lock Front Door
Best for: Families wanting a full black handle set
Pros
- 7-in-1 unlocking incl. fingerprint
- 250+ fingerprints stored
- Timed and one-time codes
- Handle set and fobs included
Cons
- Remote control mentions a gateway
- Bluetooth app needs you nearby
The Smart Lock Front Door is SMONET’s A1 handle set in black. It is described as a 7-in-1 lock: fingerprint, an anti-peep keypad passcode, physical keys, fobs and Bluetooth app control, plus Alexa and Google Home voice control. An anti-peep keypad lets you type extra random digits around your real code so anyone watching cannot learn it.
The 360-degree fingerprint sensor stores 250+ fingerprints and unlocks in about 0.5 seconds. In the app you can share an e-key or code as permanent, for set dates or times, or as a one-time passcode for a guest or repair person, and you can see unlock records and wrong-code attempts. Auto lock locks the door after a delay you choose. The box includes the smart deadbolt, handle set, keys, fobs and screws. The listing also mentions a gateway for questions about remote use, so remote control from away from home likely needs that extra accessory; the listing does not spell it out.
It installs with a Phillips screwdriver on standard wooden left- or right-handed doors, which suits renters, and comes with a 1-year warranty and lifetime technical support. It is a strong first smart lock for a family. If you want remote unlock out of the box, look at the H6 or AH1 models with Wi-Fi.

SMONET Smart Lock WiFi Keypad Door
Best for: Remote access without extra purchases
Pros
- G3 Wi-Fi gateway included
- Alexa and Google Home
- Auto lock 5 s to 30 min
- Fits 1.3 to 2.2 inch doors
Cons
- 4GHz Wi-Fi only
- Six unlock methods, no Home Key
Best for: Gold or brass-toned front doors
Pros
- Gold and brass finish
- 250+ fingerprints, about 0.5 s
- Adjustable auto lock
- No drilling on standard doors
Cons
- Runs on four AA batteries
- Remote access not clearly listed
The SMONET Smart Lock Front Door is the A1 in a gold and brass-tone finish. It uses the same 7-in-1 approach: fingerprint, anti-peep keypad, Bluetooth app, key fobs and mechanical keys, with a 360-degree fingerprint sensor that stores 250+ prints and unlocks in about 0.5 seconds.
You can create permanent, scheduled or temporary codes and one-time codes for visitors, cleaners or deliveries, and check unlock records in the app. The auto lock delay is adjustable. It runs on four AA batteries, fits US standard wooden doors from 1.49 to 1.97 inches thick with no drilling or wiring, and installs with a Phillips screwdriver. The title says it is compatible with Alexa, but the features do not describe how voice or remote control connects.
This suits a traditional front door with brass hardware and a gift-giver who wants the lock to match. For the same features in black, choose the first A1 listing.
SMONET Smart Lock WiFi Keypad Door for Remote Access Out of the Box
The SMONET Smart Lock WiFi Keypad Door is the H6 handle lock, and its key advantage is that a G3 Wi-Fi gateway comes in the box. A gateway is a small plug-in hub that connects a Bluetooth lock to your home Wi-Fi, which is what makes remote unlocking and Alexa or Google Home control possible from anywhere. It uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only.
It offers six ways in: fingerprint in under 0.3 seconds, Alexa voice, app, passcodes, key fobs and backup keys. Auto lock engages 5 seconds after closing by default, adjustable up to 30 minutes, handy when carrying in groceries. It fits doors from 1.3 to 2.2 inches thick, has an adjustable handle for left or right swing and installs in about 15 minutes with a screwdriver. It lists a back-lit keypad, 30-day returns and a 1-year warranty.
This suits busy families and landlords who want to let in a dog walker from work. Note the listing suggests interior and basement doors as well, and it is a handle lock rather than a separate deadbolt.

SMONET Front Door Lock
Best for: Rental hosts managing many guests
Pros
- Fast 0.3 s fingerprint
- Remote codes without network
- IP63 water resistance
- Free CMS management system
Cons
- Gateway and Alexa are optional extras
- Listing text partly unclear
The SMONET Front Door Lock is the A1-SBF2H-S handle set. It unlocks with fingerprint, IC card (fob), password, physical key and app, with a remote gateway and Alexa voice unlock listed as optional. The listing says fingerprint recognition takes 0.3 seconds and that the app can generate passwords remotely without the lock being online, useful for sending a code to a guest who arrives while you are away.
It supports timed, permanent, one-time and custom codes, logs unlocks and wrong codes, and SMONET offers a free CMS (customer management system) for managing locks across rentals or small businesses. It lists IP63 water resistance, installation in as little as 10 minutes without drilling, and a 1-year warranty with lifetime technical support. Some listing text is unclear, including a cut-off line about storing 1000+ IC cards.
This suits short-term rental hosts and landlords handing out lots of codes. For live remote control, budget for the optional gateway or choose a Wi-Fi model.
SMONET AH1 Apple Home Key Smart for Mixed iPhone and Android Homes
Best for: Mixed iPhone and Android households
Pros
- Apple Home Key tap to unlock
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- Apple Home, Alexa, Google
- Type-C emergency power, IP64
Cons
- Deadbolt only, no handle set
- Home Key needs a compatible iPhone
The SMONET AH1 Apple Home Key Smart is a deadbolt with built-in Wi-Fi, so no separate gateway is needed. Its headline feature is Apple Home Key: iPhone or Apple Watch owners simply tap the device on the lock, like a transit card. Android users still get full app control, access sharing and activity logs, and it works with Apple Home, Alexa and Google Assistant.
It unlocks by Apple Home Key, fingerprint, passcode, IC fob, app or mechanical key, and adds anti-peep codes, auto lock and one-touch lock. It has an aluminum body, IP64 weather resistance and Type-C emergency charging, meaning you can power it from a phone charger if the batteries die. It fits doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inches thick. The box includes two fobs and two keys.
This suits households with both iPhones and Android phones who only need to replace the deadbolt. If you want a matching handle too, see the next model.
SMONET Smart Front Door Lock for an Apple Home Key Handle Set
Best for: Apple homes wanting a matched handle set
Pros
- Apple Home Key and Siri
- Built-in Wi-Fi, no gateway
- Deadbolt plus handles
- Privacy and passage modes
Cons
- Stores 50 fingerprints
- Bigger install than deadbolt only
The SMONET Smart Front Door Lock (AH1HS-S) pairs the Apple Home Key deadbolt with an exterior pull handle and interior lever. It has built-in Wi-Fi with no gateway needed and works with Apple Home, Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant.
SMONET calls it 8-in-1: Apple Home Key, fingerprint, touchscreen code, app, IC card, mechanical key, voice assistant and interior thumb turn. It stores up to 50 fingerprints, 50 passcodes and 50 IC cards. Privacy mode blocks codes while you are home, passage mode keeps it unlocked for parties, and it offers low-battery alerts, Type-C emergency power, a metal body and IP64 weather resistance.
This is the most complete choice for Apple households replacing the whole entry at once. Big families will be fine with 50 fingerprints, though the A1 stores more.
How to Choose the Right SMONET Smart Lock
First, decide how you want remote access. Bluetooth-only locks work when your phone is near the door. Wi-Fi models (the H6 with its gateway, and both AH1 locks) let you unlock and check logs from anywhere. If Wi-Fi is your priority, our guide to a Wi-Fi keyless entry door lock explains more options.
Next, think about your phones. Apple Home Key only works with compatible iPhones and Apple Watches, so it shines in Apple households; the other methods work for everyone.
Then choose deadbolt only or handle set. Handle sets replace the whole look; the AH1 deadbolt keeps your existing handle.
Finally, measure your door. Check its thickness against each listing (for example 1.49 to 1.97 inches on the gold A1). For homes using a smart hub, a Z-Wave keyless entry lock is another route.
