Veise Smart Door Knob Lock, Satin Nickel

A fingerprint reader, touchscreen keypad, and app controls give this Veise door knob several ways to handle entry without relying on a traditional key every time. Fingerprint access is listed at 0.2 seconds, and the lock can store up to 20 fingerprints.

That range of access methods is useful when household routines vary. A family member can use a fingerprint while a guest gets a code or fob.

The tradeoff is a feature-rich setup rather than a simple keypad lock. Remote control and voice assistant features require a separate Veise G1 Gateway.

How to use it

Use the fingerprint reader, keypad, app, IC card, fob, or mechanical key, depending on who is arriving and what access you’ve set up. For example, you could give a house sitter a temporary code, then remove or change that permission afterward in the app. The lock also supports remote authorization and password sharing, with access logs intended to show who unlocked the door and when.

The app offers user and credential management, lock-status checks, and custom access schedules. Auto-lock can be set from 10 to 180 seconds, and an indoor one-touch control provides another way to lock up when leaving. A backlit keypad is handy when entering a code in a dim hallway. Want voice control or remote operation when you’re away? Those features require pairing with the separately sold gateway, so they aren’t available from the lock alone.

Pros

• Multiple entry methods can suit a household with different routines, or a property where visitors need managed access.
• The listing says the lock supports up to 20 fingerprints and 100+ codes and fobs, app controls let you add, change, or delete credentials.
• Random digits can be entered before or after the real code, a useful layer against someone watching the keypad.
• Auto-lock timing, activity logs, and low-battery alerts add practical controls beyond basic keyless entry.

The number of options comes with some setup and upkeep: it runs on four AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, which are not included. The stated battery life is up to 16 months, but actual use may vary. It also includes a Type-C emergency power port and two backup keys. For smart-home functions, the extra gateway is a separate purchase. Worth considering if you want to manage several kinds of access rather than hand out permanent keys. It may not suit you if you want a basic lock with no app setup or accessories to factor in.

The listing describes app access on iOS and Android, but doesn’t provide door-preparation or fit dimensions here. Check those details against your door before choosing. The lock’s stated security features are useful context, but without having tried it, they don’t establish how it will perform in a particular installation.

Buying verdict

This lock makes the most sense when you’ll actually use its access controls: fingerprints for regular household members, a scheduled code for a recurring visitor, or a temporary credential you can later revoke. Compared with a simpler keypad lock, it offers more ways to assign and track entry, but also adds app management and a gateway requirement for remote and voice features. Choose it if that flexibility matters and your door is compatible, look for a simpler approach if you only need a keypad and key. The listing doesn’t give fit dimensions, so confirm installation compatibility before buying.
