I'm looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don't know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!

I have Schlage Z-Wave locks. No RFID, but I would use a keycode anyways so there's nothing physical to lose.

Just incase you run across it, avoid Ultraloq. It seemed like a good deal with wifi, fingerprint read and keypad but after living with it I'm pretty frustrated. The reader stopped working after a couple months and the deadbolt motor isn't strong enough to open if there is any friction with the door jamb. Apparently these problems aren't unique to me so anything else posted here is a better choice.

The wyze lock is nice. You just replace the inside of the door's lock. Their whole smart home ecosystem works well together

Oh yeah I think that came out after I got mine. The fingerprint scanner is cool. But it seemed like they advertised it for like back/side doors, idk why 🤷
