Choosing a smart lock for your front door comes down to how you want to enter and what else you want that device to do. Some locks simply replace the deadbolt; others add a keypad, a fingerprint reader, or even a camera and doorbell. The four smart locks here cover that range, from a video-doorbell lock combo to a more traditional touchscreen deadbolt, and they do it at four different listed prices.
Quick take
For a single entryway device with video, the myQ Secure View 3-in-1 is the featured option. If you want the lowest listed price, the Yale YRD226 is the direct touchscreen deadbolt. For Z-Wave users, the Kwikset Home Connect 620 brings protocol-specific features. For Apple Home Key, the Aqara U100 is the match.

What to weigh before you choose
Think about how your household usually enters. A keypad works well when you arrive with hands full, fingerprint access can be quicker than finding a key, and a physical key remains useful for guests who do not use smart locks. If you already use a home automation protocol at the front door, that protocol may decide which lock makes sense. The options below mix those entry methods in different ways.
Decision matrix
| Product | Best role for this set |
|---|---|
| myQ Secure View 3-in-1 | Front door where one device should handle entry and video |
| Yale YRD226 | Front door where a familiar deadbolt feel matters |
| Kwikset 98930-002 | Front door connected to a home automation system |
| Aqara U100 | Front door where Apple ecosystem access is a priority |
Product notes
#### myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock Video Doorbell Camera New
The myQ Secure View 3-in-1 combines a smart lock, video camera, and doorbell in one unit. Its listed features include fingerprint access, PIN access, app control, two-way audio, color night vision, and a physical key, along with an ANSI Grade 1 (Best) rating. It carries a listed price of USD 165.00, the highest in this group. The unit is open box, and the original retail box shows cosmetic damage from storage and handling. If you want to reduce the number of devices at your entrance, this is the all-in-one direction in this set, but the open-box condition and the highest listed price are the main trade-offs.
#### Yale YRD226 Touchscreen Deadbolt Smart Lock Satin Nickel With Accessories
The Yale YRD226 is the lowest listed price in this group at USD 57.54. This touchscreen deadbolt comes in satin nickel and the included accessories cover a template, installation instructions, strike plate, screws, mount, and two keys. The unit is described as being in excellent working order with minor scuffs, scratches, or blemishes from previous use, and it comes with a 30-day warranty. It is a used item, so some cosmetic wear is part of the condition. For a straightforward touchscreen deadbolt, this is the direct option to compare against the rest.
#### Kwikset 98930-002 Home Connect 620 Smart Lock (Venetian Bronze) With Accessories
The Kwikset Home Connect 620 is a used smart lock in Venetian Bronze with moderate to heavier scuffs, scratches, or blemishes from previous use. It lists Z-Wave as its smart home protocol, along with 250 user codes, a backlit 10-digit keypad, and 4 AA batteries. At USD 89.99, its listed price sits between the Yale and Aqara. The 250-code capacity and backlit keypad make it practical for a household that enters by code often. The trade-off is the used condition and the fact that no extra accessories are included beyond what is pictured. For a keypad-based lock with a home automation protocol, this is the one in the group.
#### Aqara U100 Smart Lock Gray - Apple Home Key Fingerprint Keypad Open Box Complete
The Aqara U100 is an open-box smart lock in gray with a zinc alloy body and hardware and key included. It is listed with Apple Home Key, fingerprint keypad, electronic keyless entry, and a matte finish. At USD 98.99, its listed price is close to the Kwikset. The batteries are described as still sealed, and the unit appears unopened despite the open-box status. If Apple Home Key or fingerprint access is your priority, this lock has those listed features. The main limitation is the open-box packaging rather than a brand-new box.
Final recommendation by use case
- If you want one entryway device that handles more than just the deadbolt, the myQ Secure View 3-in-1 is the one to look at.
- If you want a familiar deadbolt feel, the Yale YRD226 is your match.
- If you want keypad-based access in a home automation setup, the Kwikset Home Connect 620 lines up.
- If you want Apple-centric entry access, the Aqara U100 is the model to consider.
