Best smart locks to check out: A smart lock isn’t just a “tech upgrade”—it’s the kind of change you feel daily, especially when keys go missing or you’re juggling bags at the door. The right one makes entry smoother while still keeping safety non-negotiable, with access options that fit real family routines.
Flipkart edit: 5 smart locks worth considering right now
These smart lock options have been curated from Flipkart’s smart door lock category, which includes models featuring access methods like connected app unlock, PIN access, NFC/RFID access cards, and biometric fingerprint unlocking. This list focuses on practical safety—reliable entry, usable backup options, and formats that suit common Indian home setups.
These five smart locks all promise keyless entry, but they differ most in two practical areas: how “remote” the remote access actually is (Bluetooth-only vs Wi‑Fi) and what happens on a normal day when batteries run low or a guest needs access. Look at them as household systems (users, codes, logs, backups), not just as hardware on a door.
Qubo Smart Lock Essential: simple keyless routine
Qubo Smart Lock Essential is built around everyday keyless entry, with multiple unlock methods including fingerprint, passcode/PIN, app control, and access card support, along with user management via the Qubo app. It also supports visitor access through OTP sharing in the app, which can reduce the need to hand out a permanent PIN to guests or helpers. A realistic downside is that smart locks with many unlock modes need clear household rules (who uses fingerprint vs PIN vs card), otherwise “too many options” becomes confusion during emergencies.
Pro-tip: for homes with frequent visitors or staff, OTP or time-bound access is usually safer than sharing a master PIN repeatedly, because it limits the window of misuse.
Godrej Locks Digital Lock (Model 9600): privacy-focused keypad design
Godrej Locks Digital Lock 9600 is positioned as a premium handle-style lock with multi-method access (fingerprint, passcode, RFID card, and mechanical key) and a “spycode” feature meant to reduce the chance of passcode exposure while someone is watching. It also lists a 360° fingerprint sensor and emergency access via USB Type‑C power or mechanical key, which matters when AAA batteries drain unexpectedly. The trade-off is that premium features don’t remove installation constraints—door thickness and alignment still dictate whether the experience feels smooth or fussy day to day.
Atomberg Azhero: app-led access without Wi‑Fi dependency
Atomberg Azhero is specified with fingerprint, PIN access, remote OTP access, NFC access card, Atomberg Home app control, and mechanical keys, with Bluetooth listed as its connectivity type. The appeal is a balanced “digital plus backup” setup (NFC card + keys + keypad) without needing always-on Wi‑Fi in the lock itself. The limitation is that Bluetooth-centric smart control typically works best when the phone is nearby, so truly remote management usually depends on an additional bridge/gateway or a different Wi‑Fi-enabled model.

SPEEDY Wi‑Fi Rim Lock: rules-based security
SPEEDY Wi‑Fi Rim Lock for Internal Doors leans into security behaviours rather than camera features, highlighting dual-combination mode (two access modes required), an audit trail, anti-theft password (fake password), smart freeze after wrong attempts, and auto-secure alarms. It also mentions low-battery indication and emergency battery backup via USB‑C, which is the kind of detail that matters more after six months of use than on day one. The likely con is that stricter security modes can add friction for family members (especially kids or elders) unless the access flow is set up thoughtfully.
NATIVE by Urban Company Lock Pro: visitor-first, camera-led access
NATIVE By Urban Company Lock Pro with Camera Unlock & Doorbell Connect is designed around identifying visitors, with 7 unlock methods (fingerprint, app, passcode, visitor code, RFID card, physical key, and photo-based unlock request when the doorbell rings). It also highlights a built-in 1080p wide-angle camera for capturing visitor images (including low-light claims), plus Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and a 3-year warranty. The trade-off is that camera-linked convenience increases reliance on app notifications, network stability, and household comfort with storing visitor images and access logs.
