Our pick: Schlage Encode Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt
Schlage Encode Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt
Built-in Wi-Fi and no hub — the lock that actually earns Airbnb-host trust.
Best for: Front doors and short-term rentals that need remote codes without buying a separate bridge.
Battery drain is heavier than Bluetooth-only locks
Our take: The one to buy when the lock has a real job — remote codes for guests or cleaners, and a genuine Grade 1 deadbolt behind the smarts. The built-in Wi-Fi is what makes it hassle-free.
