The Switchbot Lock is a device that adds remote control to a lock that you can’t take off. It’s good for rentals and landlords, but it’s big and a little hard to set up.

Compatible with most doors and able to be attached at different angles, the SwitchBot Lock is a retro upgrade that’s easier to fit than most. It’s reliable, leaves your manual lock in place as an override and has an optional Keypad to up flexibility. It’s not the most attractive upgrade and doesn’t have the wide third-party support of its competitors, though.
