How to choose
Check how the app reaches the lock
App control is not one thing: some locks answer the app over Wi-Fi from anywhere, while others answer only within Bluetooth range unless a gateway bridges them. The Kwikset, Zylenor and Philips locks use built-in Wi-Fi for remote control with no extra hub, while the Evanshow and KLLOQUE locks need a gateway for Wi-Fi or remote control. Check which path your pick uses before you buy, and match it to how you want to share access.
Compare unlocking methods and codes
Count the ways each lock opens and how many codes it holds. The Kwikset touchscreen holds up to 250 access codes, and the Philips holds up to 100 custom passwords. The Zylenor adds an anti-hijacking user ID that triggers an alarm and a notification. Pick the mix that fits the people who need entry, and check whether codes are permanent, temporary or timed.
Check power, auto-lock and fit
Power and auto-lock timing differ across these locks, so check both before you buy. The Kwikset runs on 4 AA batteries with auto-lock on a set duration, the Zylenor runs on 8 AA batteries for up to 10 months, and the Philips runs on 8 AA batteries for up to 6 months with auto-lock within 10 to 180 seconds. The KLLOQUE rechargeable battery lasts up to 1 year, and its normal mode locks after 5 seconds. Check the door fit too: the Kwikset fits doors 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick, and the Evanshow fits wooden doors 1.18 inches to 1.97 inches thick.
