With keyless, smart and alternative door locks becoming more common, there\u2019s a great deal of opportunity to find the one that\u2019s perfect for your home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We previously shortlisted the best smart locks available.<\/a> While this article focuses more on the keyless aspect than smart functionality, smart locks are still a proven method for keyless entry into your home and have been included in the list.<\/p>\n

How to choose the right door lock for your home<\/h2>\n

Security<\/a> is one of the most important factors but other features, like ease of use or multiple access options, might be more suited to the lifestyle of your home.<\/p>\n

For front door locks, an option that provides a variety of entry methods can prove to be helpful over time. They can be more reliable, too, as battery-powered locks can run out of battery and you may need emergency access (however, most electric locks alert you when they\u2019re low on battery).<\/p>\n

When you allow access to friends, family and visitors, it can be important to keep a tab on who can enter. A lock that has smartphone app<\/a> compatibility is a good choice, as you\u2019ll have control over who has access.<\/p>\n

Smartphone<\/a> apps that offer remote entry can also be useful if you\u2019re often out of the house<\/a>, as you can grant entry for deliveries, visitors and family members.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re after something simple, a lock with a straightforward keypad, or one that\u2019s activated using a key card or fob, might be all you need. They can be more affordable than other options, especially if you\u2019re unlikely to use the other features.<\/p>\n

So, read on for our picks of the best keyless locks.<\/p>\n
