hornbill’s Smart Lock 9-in-1 is a comprehensive keyless entry system that consolidates nearly every access method you could want. It replaces the standard deadbolt on most front or back doors. The core appeal is its flexibility, offering nine distinct ways to unlock your door without forcing you to rely on just one.

You can use the fast fingerprint reader when your hands are full, tap a code for guests, or use the included key fob. The auto-lock feature engages the deadbolt 30 seconds after the door closes, a genuine relief for anyone who second-guesses their security. Through the required G3 gateway, the lock connects to your 2.4GHz WiFi, allowing remote management and voice control via Alexa or Google Home from the Smart Life app. The solid aluminum construction feels substantial during installation and daily use.

Be aware that setup requires adding the gateway to your network, which is an extra step compared to built-in WiFi locks. Once configured, however, the ability to check your door’s status or create temporary passcodes from anywhere makes the initial effort worthwhile.
