Yale
3.8
(11)
"Yale Linus. Have been using mine for 2 years, not a days issue."
"Reliable, quiet, not bulky, looks good, and has great battery life."
"I have one."
"I like the look of the Yale Linus, I've been waiting for it to come out."
"If you want the home on one app and connected, then I vote Yale."
"The Yale YRD-256 with ZigBee module fits your needs with features like remote access and built-in automations."
"It works great but it takes some practice with the touchscreen."
"I have the Yale Linus. It is OK, but it only works good with Homekit if you have a hub in direct bluetooth visibility."
"Yale locks"
"Yale is good but I didn't like the touchscreen, fingerprints can show on it."

Nuki
4.1
(9)
"Recommended for its compatibility with different doors and locks in Europe."
"Nuki. Had a Yale Linus previously but this is much better."
"I have two Nuki v3 connected direct to HomeKit ie no hub."
"I am using Nuki and it’s generally really good, but it has no HomeKey."
"The Nuki Smart Lock 3 is very good, especially with the door sensor that aids auto locking."

Schlage
3.9
(9)
"I’ve had a Schalge Sense smart dead bolt lock for probably 7 yrs or more."
"I’d recommend the Schlage Connect."
"I like Schlage Camelot 469 series. Cheaper because they're older. Battery life is insanely long. Working great on SmartThings."
"If it’s a stand alone lock, then Schlage is great."
"Schlage Encode Plus."
"Schlage Encode+ deadbolt."
"Schlage Connect."
"Don’t get a Yale without key access. Mine failed after 16 months."
"You won't have to deal with crappy build quality for the sake of something silly like a fingerprint reader."

"Zigbee is cheaper and has many more options available than Z-Wave."
"I like the Kwikset zigbee lock with key … works great."
"Very pleased with the way they work."
"No issues so far. Seems responsive."
"I’m very happy with my kwikset premis and it works with two hole mounting."
"I had some range issues initially, but after moving the base station, it has worked flawlessly since."
