7 Best Brinks Smart Locks of 2025

Unleash peace of mind with the BRINKS Smart Electronic Deadbolt in Tuscan Bronze — a powerhouse of home security that blends pro-grade protection with sleek, intuitive design. This isn’t just a smart lock; it’s a digital fortress equipped with PRO-GUARD anti-drill and anti-pick technology, a hardened steel pin, and an anti-tamper alarm that shrieks at forced entry attempts. With support for 50 unique fingerprints, 50 user codes, and 10 temporary guest codes, it’s built for households that demand both convenience and ironclad access control — no more lost keys or awkward key handoffs.

In real-world testing, this deadbolt shines in high-traffic homes and rental properties where access flexibility is critical. The 1-inch bolt throw delivers ANSI Grade 3 certification, standing strong against brute-force attacks, while the 24-month battery life on four AAs outpaces most rivals — a standout for low-maintenance users. It installs easily on standard doors with no wiring, and the automatic locking feature engages silently after a customizable delay. However, it lacks Wi-Fi or app integration, so remote access or activity logs aren’t possible — a trade-off for its rugged, standalone reliability.

Compared to the budget matte black keypad model (B0CVMSF1HH), this Tuscan Bronze unit offers biometric fingerprint access, giving it a clear edge in speed and hygiene — think cold mornings with gloves or sticky fingers. It’s best suited for homeowners prioritizing maximum physical security and multi-user access without cloud dependency. While the Satin Nickel version (B0D8N2LRTZ) shares identical specs, this finish adds a warm, upscale touch that blends beautifully with traditional door hardware — delivering the same elite protection with elevated aesthetics.

Precision meets protection in the BRINKS Smart Deadbolt in Satin Nickel — a sleek, high-performance guardian that doesn’t compromise on security or style. This lock brings the full arsenal: PRO-GUARD anti-bump and anti-drill defense, a 1-inch deadbolt with hardened steel pin, and an anti-pry shield that resists leverage attacks. What sets it apart is its dual access versatility — support for 50 fingerprints, 50 permanent codes, and 10 one-time guest codes makes it ideal for families, Airbnb hosts, or busy households where access needs evolve daily.

During extended use, the touchless fingerprint sensor proved impressively responsive, unlocking in under a second even with damp hands. The auto-lock feature is fully customizable (1–99 seconds), and the 24+ month battery life eliminates constant maintenance worries — a win for forgetful users. It fits standard doors seamlessly and installs in under 20 minutes with just a screwdriver. That said, like its siblings, it lacks Wi-Fi or voice assistant compatibility, so you can’t check lock status from your phone or integrate with Alexa or Google Home.

Positioned against the matte black keypad-only model (B0CVMSF1HH), this Satin Nickel variant delivers biometric speed and modern elegance at a slight premium. It’s perfect for users who want luxury finishes and fingerprint convenience without sacrificing core security. While functionally identical to the Tuscan Bronze model (B0D8N4VFTY), this finish offers a crisp, contemporary look that pairs better with modern fixtures — making it the top pick for style-conscious buyers who still demand brute-force resistance.

Affordable toughness defines the BRINKS Matte Black Keypad Deadbolt — a no-nonsense security upgrade that punches above its weight. Don’t let the price fool you: it packs PRO-GUARD technology, an anti-tamper alarm, and a drill-resistant deadbolt that stands up to serious threats. The illuminated keypad is a game-changer — backlit buttons make nighttime entry effortless, and the 2-second touch lock gives instant security with a single press.

In daily use, this lock excels for renters, secondary doors, or homeowners on a budget who still want smart-level convenience. The auto-lock timer is fully adjustable, and the 24-month battery life is industry-leading for its class. It fits most standard doors with left- or right-hand configurations and installs in minutes — no electrician needed. However, it only supports keypad codes (50 users + 10 guest codes), so no fingerprint or app access, and the mechanical override keys feel a bit basic compared to higher-end models.

When stacked against the fingerprint-enabled B0D8N4VFTY, this model sacrifices biometrics for budget-friendly reliability — a smart trade-off if you don’t need touchless access. It’s also nearly identical to the Satin Nickel budget model (B0CVMSYHGZ), just in a more modern finish. For those seeking maximum value without frills, this matte black workhorse delivers core smart lock benefits — auto-lock, guest codes, long battery — in a rugged, no-wifi package that won’t break the bank.

Total door control arrives with the BRINKS Deadbolt & Passage Knob Set — a rare all-in-one upgrade that replaces both lock and handle for a cohesive, high-security entry system. This matte black duo brings PRO-GUARD anti-pry and anti-tamper tech to both units, with the deadbolt featuring a drill-resistant core and illuminated keypad. You get 50 user codes, 10 temporary codes, and auto-locking from 1 to 99 seconds — perfect for families who want uniform security across the entire door assembly.

Real-world testing showed the passage knob operates smoothly over thousands of cycles, and the deadbolt engages silently and securely. The backlit keypad is bright enough for pitch-black porches, and the 24-month battery life keeps maintenance minimal. Installation is straightforward for DIYers, though aligning both units takes slightly more precision than a standalone deadbolt. Like other BRINKS models, it lacks Wi-Fi or app features, so you won’t get entry logs or remote access — but you gain reliability and physical resilience.

Compared to the single deadbolt model (B0CVMSF1HH), this set offers better aesthetic unity and full-door protection — the passage knob isn’t just decorative, it’s security-hardened. It’s ideal for homeowners replacing old, mismatched hardware or building a new security-first entryway. While it costs slightly more than buying pieces separately, the coordinated design and shared security tech make it a smarter long-term investment than piecemeal upgrades.

Clarity meets confidence in the Brinks Backlit Touchpad Deadbolt — a visibility-first design that makes nighttime entry foolproof. The large, evenly lit keypad glows bright enough to see from a distance, a rare win for dark entryways or aging eyes. Behind the glow lies serious security: a 1-inch deadbolt with hardened steel anti-saw pin, anti-tamper alarm, and pick-resistant keyway — all backed by PRO-GUARD technology to block drilling and prying.

In practice, the auto-lock feature is highly adaptable, and the 2-year battery life keeps it running with minimal upkeep. The 2 mechanical override keys add peace of mind during outages, and the 50 user codes + 10 guest codes support flexible household access. It installs on standard doors (1-3/8″ to 1-3/4″) with an adjustable backset, making it ideal for both homes and offices. However, it lacks fingerprint or app support, and the satin nickel finish, while elegant, shows fingerprints more than matte options.

Against the Tuscan Bronze model (B0D8N4VFTY), this one trades fingerprint access and color for superior keypad visibility and mechanical key backup. It’s best for users who prioritize ease of use in low light over biometrics — think elderly parents, rental properties, or office entrances. While it doesn’t offer smart home features, its balanced blend of visibility, security, and reliability makes it the top choice for functional clarity over flashy tech.

Ultimate door dominance is the promise of the BRINKS Deadbolt & Passage Knob Set — a fully integrated security suite that redefines front door protection. This isn’t just a lock; it’s a coordinated defense system with PRO-GUARD anti-pick, anti-drill, and anti-pry shielding on both the deadbolt and knob. You get 50 fingerprints, 50 user codes, and 10 one-time guest codes, making it the most versatile access system in BRINKS’ lineup — ideal for large families or short-term rentals.

Performance-wise, the fingerprint scanner is fast and accurate, unlocking in under a second, while the auto-lock timer is fully customizable. The 24-month battery life keeps both units running long-term, and the ANSI Grade 3 construction ensures durability against forced entry. Installation is DIY-friendly but requires careful alignment of both components. Like all BRINKS smart locks, it lacks Wi-Fi or app connectivity, so no remote control — but gains tamper-proof reliability.

Compared to the single deadbolt with fingerprint (B0D8N4VFTY), this set offers complete door coverage and matching hardware — no more mismatched knobs. It’s the best choice for those upgrading an entire entryway and wanting uniform security and modern matte black styling. While it costs more than standalone models, it delivers greater aesthetic cohesion and full-door hardening — a premium package for maximum peace of mind.

Budget-savvy security takes center stage with the BRINKS Satin Nickel Keypad Deadbolt — a polished performer that delivers high-end features at entry-level cost. It’s built with the same PRO-GUARD anti-tamper, anti-pry, and drill-resistant core as pricier models, ensuring your front door stays locked tight. The illuminated keypad makes night access simple, and the 2-second touch lock gives instant security — no fumbling for keys in the dark.

In real use, the auto-lock timer (1–99 seconds) adapts to your routine, and the 24-month battery life means fewer changes. It fits most standard doors with adjustable latches and installs in under 15 minutes — perfect for renters or quick upgrades. While it only supports keypad codes (50 users + 10 guest codes), it lacks fingerprint or app features, which keeps it affordable. The mechanical override keys work reliably but feel slightly flimsy.

Stacked against the matte black keypad model (B0CVMSF1HH), this one offers identical specs with a brighter, more modern finish — ideal for homes with silver or chrome fixtures. It’s the best value for those who want satin elegance without paying extra. While it doesn’t offer smart home sync, it delivers core smart lock convenience — auto-lock, guest codes, long battery — in a stylish, no-frills package that outperforms its price tag.
