Best smart locks 2021: Front door security from Yale, August, Schlage and more

The best smart locks allow you to live a life without keys and remotely access your front door from anywhere, but there's plenty more to understand about this area of the smart home before you jump in.

This isn't like buying any other bit of smart home security, where it's relatively plug-and-play. You'll have to know what type of door lock you currently have in order to swap it out with a smarter equivalent, and also, for example, decide whether you want a device that still gives you key access for when your phone battery is dead. 

The good news is that whichever locking mechanism you have, and no matter whether you rent or own your property, there's plenty of options for you to explore from brands like Yale, August and Schlage.

Below, we'll detail some of the best to help you decide on the door lock for your smart home.
