Keyless door locks are becoming increasingly popular as homeowners and property managers look for easier ways to secure homes without relying solely on traditional locks that require keys to open them.
Modern electronic locks can replace or supplement conventional keys with access methods including PIN codes, fingerprints, smartphone apps, Bluetooth and RFID cards. The technology can make it easier to give temporary access to family members, guests or tenants while reducing the need to hand out physical keys.
Among the keyless door locks available in 2026 are:
- POWIFY keyless entry door lock with handle
- MiLocks keyless entry deadbolt
- Kwikset SmartCode 917
- iULock keypad & key smart door lock
- IBLOG keyless entry door lock with handle
The POWIFY Keyless Entry Door Lock with Handle combines a biometric deadbolt with a matching handle. It offers several ways to unlock the door, including fingerprint recognition, touchscreen PINs, IC cards, smartphone control and a traditional key for backup.
The MiLocks Keyless Entry Deadbolt is aimed at users who want keypad access without the additional complexity of a connected smart-home system. It can store up to 15 user codes and features one-touch locking, an illuminated keypad and two physical backup keys.
The Kwikset SmartCode 917 is another established keypad option. It supports up to 12 permanent user codes and two one-time guest codes. Features include adjustable auto-lock, Vacation Mode, intrusion alerts and SmartKey re-keying technology.
For buyers looking for a simpler and potentially lower-maintenance option, the iulock Keypad & Key Smart Door Lock supports up to 50 user codes. It also includes Passage Mode, Silent Mode, USB-C emergency power and IP65 weather resistance. Its battery can last for up to 18 months, depending on usage.
The IBLOG Keyless Entry Door Lock with Handle combines electronic access features with a design aimed at households and rental properties. It supports temporary access codes, allowing owners and landlords to provide guests or tenants with access without handing over a permanent physical key.
While keyless locks can offer convenience and flexible access management, buyers should also consider battery life, emergency access options, weather resistance, installation requirements and compatibility with existing doors before making a purchase.
For rental properties in particular, temporary access codes can be useful because they allow landlords to change or revoke access without replacing physical locks.
As electronic security technology becomes more common, keyless locks are increasingly being positioned as an alternative to traditional door locks, offering homeowners a combination of convenience and access control.
