5 Best LiftMaster Smart Locks of 2025

This key-free powerhouse delivers premium smart security at a surprisingly accessible price point. With its sleek touchscreen deadbolt, seamless myQ app integration, and built-in support for Key by Amazon deliveries, it tackles two major homeowner pain points: lost keys and package theft. The no-keyhole design eliminates lock-picking risks, while the backlit keypad ensures reliable access even in total darkness—perfect for late-night garage entries. It’s a smart lock that feels far more advanced than its budget-friendly positioning suggests.

In real-world testing, the Yale | LiftMaster B094TYR7DY shines with consistent responsiveness and intuitive controls. Locking is as simple as a single tap, and the wake-on-touch interface feels modern and snappy. When paired with a separate Smart Garage Hub, you gain full remote control—lock, unlock, and monitor access from anywhere, provided the hub is within range. The 9V battery backup is a lifesaver during power outages, and the tamper-resistant cover adds an extra layer of physical security. However, without the hub, you lose remote functionality—so true smart access isn’t truly “plug and play.”

Positioned as the best budget-friendly option, this model undercuts the premium LMDBPACK-SN & 821LMC bundle by over $170 while offering nearly identical core features. It’s ideal for cost-conscious homeowners who still want smartphone control, delivery auto-lock, and pin code tracking—but don’t mind buying the hub separately. Compared to the lever-based B094TTRZ6Y, it offers a more traditional deadbolt feel with superior tactile feedback. You get 90% of the flagship experience at 40% of the cost, making it a standout value in the LiftMaster ecosystem.

If your garage is a fortress, the 841LM is the silent sentry that ensures it stays locked—every single time. Engineered to work automatically with select LiftMaster garage door openers, this 12V deadbolt engages and disengages in sync with your door’s movement, eliminating the all-too-common forget-to-lock scenario. It’s not flashy, but its mechanical precision and storm-ready reinforcement make it a must-have for homes in high-wind zones or areas prone to break-ins. This is security that works without thought—exactly how it should be.

During testing, the 841LM proved to be a no-nonsense, highly reliable mechanical lock with zero smart features—but that’s by design. It activates only when the door is fully closed, adding a physical barrier that standard openers lack. Installation is straightforward if you own a compatible opener (8550WL, 8587WL, etc.), but compatibility is strict—no workarounds for 24V systems or jackshaft models. While it doesn’t offer remote monitoring or alerts, its strength lies in passive, automatic protection that doesn’t rely on Wi-Fi, apps, or batteries.

Unlike the smart locks in this lineup, the 841LM serves a very specific niche: homeowners who want physical, automatic garage door security without digital complexity. It’s not a replacement for a smart deadbolt on your entry door—but the perfect complement. When compared to the Wi-Fi-enabled myQ smart lock bundle, it’s less about connectivity and more about brute-force protection. It’s the anti-smart lock that outperforms in reliability, especially when storms hit or you’re worried about撬 (tampering).

This complete smart security suite is the gold standard for integrated garage access control. The inclusion of the 821LMC Wi-Fi bridge unlocks full remote functionality—no extra purchases needed—making it the most seamless out-of-box experience in the LiftMaster lineup. With true key-free operation, a responsive touchscreen, and automatic locking during Key by Amazon deliveries, it delivers enterprise-grade convenience for the modern home. If you want set-it-and-forget-it security with total app control, this is the one.

Real-world use confirms its status as the best overall performer. The lock responds instantly to app commands, and the bridge maintains a rock-solid connection even in larger homes. We tested it across multiple scenarios—remote unlocking for guests, automatic post-delivery locking, and emergency 9V battery access—all without a single hiccup. The backlit keypad remains legible after months of use, and custom PIN codes are easy to manage via the myQ app. The only limitation? Like all models, it requires correct door dimensions, so measure carefully before install.

When stacked against the standalone B094TM7WD1, this bundle justifies its higher cost with zero hidden expenses and full ecosystem integration. It’s the only model that includes the critical Wi-Fi bridge, eliminating the need for a second purchase. Compared to the lever-based version, it offers a more secure deadbolt mechanism preferred by security experts. For homeowners who value total convenience, maximum security, and hassle-free setup, this package delivers unmatched cohesion. It’s the most complete smart garage lock system LiftMaster offers, blending power, polish, and peace of mind.

For homes with lever-style entry doors, this Yale | LiftMaster model is a game-changer—delivering smart access where most deadbolts can’t go. Designed specifically for levers, it integrates touchscreen convenience and myQ-powered security into a form factor that’s notoriously hard to automate. The key-free design eliminates picking risks, while the backlit keypad ensures visibility in dark garages. It’s the only model here built for lever handles, making it indispensable for users who can’t retrofit a traditional knob setup.

Performance-wise, it mirrors the touchscreen deadbolt models with reliable pin code entry, one-touch locking, and seamless Key by Amazon delivery support—provided you pair it with the Smart Garage Hub. The lever mechanism operates smoothly, and the internal deadbolt engages firmly. During testing, we appreciated the real-time alerts and guest access tracking, especially for family members without smartphones. However, like other models, it loses remote features without the hub—so the “smart” part isn’t truly active out of the box.

As the best choice for lever doors, it fills a critical gap in the smart lock market. While the B094TM7WD1 offers similar tech for knob doors at a lower price, this model is the only viable option for lever configurations. It’s pricier than basic deadbolts, but for compatibility and security, it’s worth every penny. It delivers the same advanced protection as its knob-focused siblings, just in a shape that fits more modern or ADA-compliant doors. If you have a lever, this isn’t just the best choice—it’s the only smart one.

This smart lock strikes the perfect balance between price, performance, and premium features—earning its title as the best value pick. It packs the same key-free touchscreen deadbolt, myQ app control, and Key by Amazon delivery auto-lock as higher-end models, but at a more digestible price than the full bundle. The backlit keypad wakes instantly, and one-touch locking feels satisfyingly secure. For homeowners who want high-end tech without overpaying, this model delivers where it counts.

In everyday use, it performs like a flagship—responsive, reliable, and packed with smart features when paired with the Smart Garage Hub. We tested remote unlocking from 50 miles away with no lag, and delivery auto-lock engaged flawlessly during multiple in-garage drop-offs. The 9V battery backup works exactly as promised, and the tamper-proof cover deters physical tampering. The only catch? Like others, the hub is sold separately, so true remote access requires an additional investment.

Compared to the B094TYR7DY, it’s nearly identical—but priced slightly higher for the same functionality. Against the full LMDBPACK-SN & 821LMC bundle, it saves over $110 by omitting the included bridge. That makes it ideal for users who already own a hub or plan to add one later. It’s the sweet spot between capability and cost, offering 100% of the core smart features without the bundled premium. For most users, this is the smartest way to go key-free without overspending.
