Updated
- Integrated handle + deadbolt -- replaces the entire lockset in one unit
- Stronger buyer feedback than the Schlage Encode
- Built-in WiFi, IP54 weatherproof, Alexa and Google compatible
Best For / Not For
Best for
- Buyers replacing a door's entire lockset who want handle and deadbolt as one smart unit
- Outdoor doors needing IP54 weatherproofing
- Philips ecosystem users or buyers who prefer the integrated handle design
Not for
- Buyers who only want to add a smart deadbolt to existing hardware
- Anyone who wants a long buyer track record -- this lock has far less buyer history than the Schlage Encode
Key Details
When an Integrated Handle Lock Makes Sense
If your front door already has a working deadbolt and you only need to add smart functionality, the Schlage Encode installs as a deadbolt replacement while leaving your existing handle in place. If you're replacing both the handle and deadbolt -- or if you're equipping a new door that has neither -- the Philips integrated unit installs both in one step. The downside of integration is that if the handle mechanism fails, you replace the entire unit. The advantage is a unified aesthetic and a single installation process.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Handle + deadbolt integration simplifies installation
- Strong buyer feedback
- Built-in WiFi
- IP54 weatherproofing for outdoor use
- Alexa and Google Home compatible
Cons
- Far less buyer history than the Schlage Encode
- Handle-integrated design means full replacement required if either component fails
- Newer product -- limited long-term reliability data
Bottom Line
Consider Philips WiFi Smart Door Lock if you need to replace a full lockset including the handle. For deadbolt-only smart lock upgrades, the Schlage Encode is the safer choice with a much larger buyer base as proof.
