Veise Smart Front Door Lock, Matte Black

The fingerprint reader is the standout feature of the Veise VE017-K: it’s designed to unlock in 0.2 seconds and learn from repeated use, so regular household members can get in without reaching for a key. This smart front door lock also offers keypad codes, fob and mechanical-key access, plus app-based user management. It’s a flexible setup for a busy home or a property where guest access changes, though some remote-control features depend on a separately sold gateway.

Key specifications

The lock supports fingerprint, passcode, key fob, mechanical key, and app-based access. Its backlit touchscreen keypad is useful for evening arrivals, while anti-peeping passwords let users enter extra digits around their code. The app can manage multiple users, share temporary codes, and show an entry log. Auto-lock timing is adjustable from 10 to 180 seconds.

The listed build is zinc alloy, with IP55 water resistance and an operating range of -35°F to 160°F. The product description also lists AES 128-bit encryption and ANSI Grade 3 and BHMA standards. These details may matter for an exterior door, but they don’t replace checking that the lock suits your door and security priorities.

Power comes from four AA batteries, which are not included, the stated battery life is up to one year of daily use. A low-battery alert and USB-C emergency power port are included features. For remote control, real-time notifications, and voice control with Alexa or Google Home, the Veise G1 Gateway is sold separately.

Who it’s for

This model suits households that want more than one way to unlock the front door, or owners who need to issue temporary codes to guests. For example, a family member can use a fingerprint while a visitor enters a shared code, and the entry log gives the owner a record of access. That’s more convenient than managing spare keys, but it does mean app-based access is part of the day-to-day setup.

A solid pick if you want fingerprint access alongside keypad and physical-key backup, and you’re comfortable managing users in an app. Not the best choice if you need remote controls or voice commands without buying additional hardware, or prefer a conventional lock with no app setup.

Everyday use

The lock is described as a DIY installation using a screwdriver, with no wiring or professional help required. It fits standard US doors from 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick and automatically detects left- or right-hand orientation. Before choosing, compare your door’s thickness with that range, if you can’t confirm it, don’t assume a standard-looking door will fit without that measurement.

For a late-night arrival, the backlit keypad provides an alternative to searching for keys, and the adjustable auto-lock can secure the door after entry. Battery replacement is still part of ownership, and the four AA batteries must be supplied separately. Buyers wanting a simpler, lower-tech lock may prefer one without app features, this model makes more sense when several access methods and guest-code management are useful.

Questions before you buy

Are batteries included? No. It uses four AA batteries, which are not included, and has a low-battery alert.

Can you control it remotely out of the box? The G1 Gateway is required for remote control and real-time notifications, and it is sold separately.

Does installation require wiring? The listing describes a screwdriver-based DIY installation with no wiring, for standard US doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick.

Is it worth it?

The VE017-K is worth considering if you’ll use its mix of fingerprint, keypad, fob, and key access, especially where temporary guest entry is useful. Its practical trade-off is that batteries are not included and the gateway-dependent features add a separate hardware requirement. Choose it for flexible access and app-managed users, choose a simpler lock if those smart functions would go unused.
