Philips DDL240-1HBG-L-MB WiFi Smart Lock with Handle, Fingerprint and Keypad

Some households want simple keyless entry, others need to manage access remotely or set different codes for visitors. The Philips DDL240-1HBG-L-MB combines a smart deadbolt with a matching lever handle set. Fingerprint, PIN, app, and voice controls give you several ways to use it at home.

Strengths

This lock supports fingerprint entry, a touchscreen keypad, app control, and voice control. That variety helps accommodate different routines: household members can use a fingerprint or PIN, while a temporary code can be set up for a guest or service provider. PIN options include permanent, recurring, scheduled, and one-time codes, with activity available to monitor in the Philips Home Access app.

The included Philips WiFi Gateway enables remote app access. From a smartphone, you can lock or unlock the door, check its status, monitor access in real time, and receive notifications. Auto-lock engages after the door closes, and the one-touch lock function offers another way to secure it when leaving.

Highlights

The set includes the Philips smart lock, two door lever handles, and the WiFi Gateway. Its matte black finish and modern design create a coordinated look for a front or back door. The lock is made of aluminum and measures 15.7 x 7 x 4.5 inches.

Compared with a keypad-only approach, this model adds fingerprint entry, remote app control, and voice control alongside PIN access. It is described as working with amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, the WiFi Gateway is needed for voice control. Buyers praise the fingerprint feature, ease of use, and flexible code programming. Feedback about Alexa and Google compatibility is mixed, so those planning to rely on voice commands may want to consider that alongside their preferred access methods.

Installation is described as a screwdriver-based setup, and the lock supports both left- and right-handed doors. Check that the lock is compatible with your door before purchasing. Its listed uses include home entry as well as garage, side, office, and basement doors.

Who it’s for

This set suits households that want a coordinated handle and lock with more than one way to enter. Fingerprints can serve regular users, while scheduled or one-time PINs offer a practical option for guests and service providers. Remote app access is useful when you want to manage the lock or check its status while away from home.

It may also fit homes where routines vary from person to person: use the keypad when a fingerprint is not convenient, or choose app access for remote management. With the gateway included, the set combines local entry methods and connected controls in one installation.

What to clarify

Can I control the lock when I’m away? The included WiFi Gateway connects the lock to WiFi for remote locking and unlocking through the smartphone app. The app can also show lock status, monitor access, and deliver notifications.

What access methods does it offer? You can use fingerprint recognition, PIN codes, app controls, and voice control. PINs can be permanent, recurring, scheduled, or one-time, the product also lists a physical key as a control method.

Can I use Alexa or Google Assistant? Both are listed as supported voice assistants, with the WiFi Gateway required for voice control. Buyer feedback on compatibility is mixed, so consider whether app, fingerprint, or PIN access also fits your routine.

Should you buy it?

Choose the DDL240-1HBG-L-MB if you want a smart lock and matching lever handles with multiple entry options, remote app management, and programmable PINs. Its combination of fingerprint access, auto-lock, and an included WiFi Gateway makes it a practical fit for managing everyday home entry and arranging access for visitors.
