Smart locks with keypad entry typically connect to an existing smart home or security system through a compatible Z-Wave hub and app. Once connected, the system may let users check lock status, lock or unlock the door remotely, receive notifications, and manage access codes alongside other connected devices.

Check that the door is a standard U.S. or Canada entry door with a compatible deadbolt opening, since these keypad-compatible smart locks are designed to replace existing deadbolts. Also check the bore-hole size and available installation clearance, as some models include an adapter for 1 1/2-inch small bore holes.

Keypad entry lets authorized users unlock the door with a code, while a physical key provides a traditional access method when needed. When connected to a compatible hub and app, the smart lock can also support remote locking or unlocking, access-code management, status checks, and entry notifications.

Smart locks compatible with keypads in this assortment use battery power, with some models offering a 9V emergency charging option if the batteries run low. They connect through Z-Wave to a compatible smart home hub and app, while users can typically unlock the door locally with a keypad or physical key.
