How to choose
Compare entry methods first
Fingerprint entry appears on all five picks, so the difference sits in the extras. The ULTRALOQ adds passcodes, app, web portal, eKey sharing, voice, and a mechanical key. The DESLOC adds 3D face recognition, while the Philips adds up to 100 passcodes and an Away Mode. Match the entry list to the people who use the door each day.
WiFi, Matter, and hub needs
Built-in WiFi lets the ULTRALOQ, eufy, Philips, Wyze, and DESLOC locks respond to the app from anywhere with no bridge or hub for app control. Matter over Thread is a separate path on the ULTRALOQ, and it needs a compatible Thread hub to work. Keep the router close to the door: the ULTRALOQ works best within 70 ft, and the Philips within 65 ft.
Power, weather, and door fit
Battery life differs sharply: the ULTRALOQ runs up to 18 months on Thread, the eufy runs around 8 months on 8 AA batteries and the Wyze up to 8 months on 8 AA batteries, and the DESLOC pairs solar charging with a 10000mAh battery. Weather ratings differ too, with IP65 on the ULTRALOQ and DESLOC and IP53 on the eufy and Wyze. Check door fit before ordering: the Philips and DESLOC fit doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, and the eufy fits bores under 54mm.
FAQ
Which smart lock works without a separate hub?
The eufy, Philips, and DESLOC locks use built-in WiFi with no bridge or hub for app control, and the ULTRALOQ app control also runs on built-in WiFi. Matter control on the ULTRALOQ is the exception, since it needs a compatible Thread hub.
Which locks work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

The ULTRALOQ runs up to 18 months on Thread, while the eufy runs around 8 months and the Wyze up to 8 months on 8 AA batteries. The DESLOC pairs solar charging with a 10000mAh lithium battery, so manual charging is less frequent.
What door sizes do these smart locks fit?
