Wyze Smart Deadbolt. $79, secure, and convenient. You never have to worry about losing a key again. I live in a cold area and it works reliably. The auto lock is so nice so you don’t worry about if you locked the door. Also great to allow guests or contractors in if you can’t go home to let them in. Makes my life so amazing.

Yeah, smart locks are nice. I have Nuki 2 and am equally happy. Even though it disconnects from the wifi, get huge latency on notifications and battery lasts only 2 months at most, the autolock and opening door with fingerprint is total addiction and works flawlessly. If all other features worked as promoted for that price, I would buy it for all the doors. A friend of mine wasn't so lucky, his Nuki blocks constantly and drains battery after a couple of days...

I was always behind an open door during the day until I bought Nuki. Now I am always locked and surprisingly, after only 6mo of usage I am very uncomfortable when autolock is not enabled.

Not needing a key but still having a backup in case it stops working is awesome.

It is expensive though, Nuki without fingerprint reader and dor sensor is less than $200 but with everything price is around $450
