Short answer

Can Matter smart locks work offline, and which one fits your door?

Yes, at home: Google says Matter devices work locally over your home network without the cloud, so your Matter app keeps control of the lock with the internet down, as long as your platform’s Matter controller is on (a Thread lock also needs its Thread border router). What needs the internet is control from away: the CSA says that takes an internet-connected Matter controller in the home; Google also disables remote and voice unlock for Matter locks that do not require a PIN code. At the door you keep the lock’s own way in: Kwikset says its Halo Select includes 2 physical keys “as an additional way of entry”, and the records of 14 locks in our comparison name a keypad, touchscreen, fingerprint reader or PIN codes (offline, rentals and guest codes: details below).

Which lock fits starts with your door. Replacement deadbolts: Level Lock (Matter), Aqara Smart Lock U400, Kwikset Halo Select and eufy FamiLock E34; retrofits that keep your existing deadbolt: the Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt), or the SwitchBot Lock Pro, a Bluetooth lock that reaches Matter through the Matter-enabled SwitchBot Hub Mini in its bundle.

Every lock here except the SwitchBot uses Matter over Thread, so it needs a Thread border router as well as your platform’s Matter controller; check your door and deadbolt against the maker’s fit guide before ordering.

Counting what we list: 45 door locks sold in the US have a CSA record on file, 45 of them CSA certified for the exact model; 32 use Thread (so they also need a Thread border router), 7 use Wi-Fi, 6 state no single network, and 4 records name Apple Home Key. Compare every certified lock.

As of November 11, 2026, we list 48 Matter locks sold in the US with a verified store link that are CSA certified for the exact model (the certificate names that model, not a family or a variant): 35 use Thread, so they also need a Thread border router, and 7 use Wi-Fi; 6 state no single network.

Using Home Assistant? It says it is a Matter controller that can control Matter-based devices (its documentation, read Oct 28, 2026); a Thread device also needs a Thread border router. 1 of the locks we list has a maker page that names Home Assistant: Aqara Smart Lock U400.

Each row repeats what the lock’s product page states: its Matter network, its CSA certificate, what it needs, whether its own record names Apple Home Key, and the platforms its maker’s page names. Prices load in the browser, lowest first; the static page states no price. A Thread lock needs a Thread border router (the hubs guide compares the cheapest). Renting?

Find your fit

Find a model for your door.

Three things to check first

Your door

Replacement deadbolts, retrofit thumbturns and European cylinders need different hardware. Check dimensions and permission to modify the door.

Your controller

Matter over Thread needs a compatible controller and Thread border router. Bridged locks need the specified bridge too. Check your platform’s requirements.

Your access methods

Matter support does not guarantee home key, fingerprint, UWB or every app feature. Match those features to the exact model and supported phone.

Level Lock (Matter)

A replacement deadbolt with a discreet exterior

Level Lock (Matter)

Level builds this deadbolt to sit inside the door, with no bulky smart unit. It is a different model from Level Lock+, Level Lock Pro and Level Bolt, so match the model name as well as the finish.

Matter over Thread

What you need

  • A compatible Matter-over-Thread controller and Thread network for your chosen smart-home platform.
  • Check your door and deadbolt dimensions with Level before ordering.

Check before choosing

Confirm the Matter version and the included hardware. Do not assume Apple Home Key, a keypad or Level Connect is included.

The Level link is Level’s own US store page for Level Lock (Matter), sold in four finishes: Satin Chrome, Satin Nickel, Polished Brass and Matte Black. Choose the finish there and confirm the included hardware before ordering.

Aqara Smart Lock U400 Matter device

A replacement lock with fingerprint and home-key options

Aqara Smart Lock U400

U400 connects through Matter over Thread. It is not the Zigbee-based U100, and U100 hub requirements should not be applied to this model.

Matter over Thread

What you need

  • A Thread-enabled Matter controller for the ecosystem you want to use.
  • UWB approach unlocking needs a supported iPhone or Apple Watch and a Thread-enabled Apple home hub; check Aqara’s current device requirements.

Check before choosing

The selected DL-D06E package contains one lock and one rechargeable battery, without an M100 hub. Supply a compatible ecosystem hub separately and check your door against the installation guide.

The Amazon link is for one Black U400, model DL-D06E. Confirm the selected model and included hardware before ordering.

Kwikset Halo Select Matter smart lock

A touchscreen replacement deadbolt

Kwikset Halo Select

Halo Select is the touchscreen model in this listing. It is distinct from the fingerprint-based Halo Touch and from Halo Select Plus.

Matter over Thread, or Wi-Fi app connectivity

What you need

  • A compatible Matter/Thread hub for Matter integration.
  • Use the Kwikset app’s Matter setup flow; check door dimensions and installation instructions for your exact trim.

Check before choosing

Kwikset describes switching the lock to Matter connectivity over Thread. Wi-Fi app features and Matter ecosystem features are not interchangeable.

The Amazon link is for one Halo Select, Satin Nickel, Transitional trim, model 998000-003. Confirm your door fit and selected hardware.

A retrofit for a compatible US single-cylinder deadbolt

Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt)

This US model mounts inside the door over an existing single-cylinder deadbolt. It is not the European Smart Lock Ultra cylinder package.

Matter over Thread; separate Wi-Fi app connectivity

What you need

  • Check your existing deadbolt against Nuki’s US compatibility guidance.
  • A compatible Matter-over-Thread setup for your chosen ecosystem; Wi-Fi remote access through the Nuki app is a separate connection.

Check before choosing

Keep US deadbolt and European cylinder models separate. Do not assume a keypad, door sensor or Home Set bundle is included.

The Amazon link is for one US Deadbolt, model 221146. Part of the Amazon listing also mentions Smart Lock Ultra; confirm the model and included accessories before ordering.

A retrofit lock and Matter bridge bundle

SwitchBot Lock Pro + Hub Mini Matter Enabled

This listing pairs Lock Pro with Hub Mini Matter Enabled. The hub bridges the Bluetooth lock into a Matter ecosystem; it is not the separately named native Wi-Fi Lock Pro Matter Enabled.

Bluetooth lock via a Matter-enabled SwitchBot hub

What you need

  • A compatible existing lock, the Matter-enabled SwitchBot hub, and current SwitchBot app/device firmware.
  • A Matter controller for your chosen platform. Check SwitchBot’s installation and device compatibility guidance.

Check before choosing

The original Hub Mini is not interchangeable with Hub Mini Matter Enabled. A keypad and fingerprint access must not be assumed from a lock-and-hub bundle.

The Amazon link is for one Lock Pro + Hub Mini Matter Enabled bundle, Metal/Black, part number W3500004. Confirm the bundle contents; the listing does not name a keypad.

eufy FamiLock E34 Matter smart lock

A replacement lock with palm-vein access

eufy FamiLock E34

The linked model is FamiLock E34, not E31 or E35. eufy documents palm-vein unlocking and Matter integration for this model.

Matter over Thread

What you need

  • A compatible Matter hub and Thread setup for third-party ecosystems.
  • Check the installation dimensions: eufy lists doors 35–55 mm thick and provides guidance for different latch recesses.

Check before choosing

Apple home key is not supported according to eufy’s E34 FAQ. Do not infer E31 fingerprint features or accessories from another FamiLock model.

The Amazon link is for one FamiLock E34, Palm Vein version, model T85P0 / T85P0111. Confirm the selected model and included installation hardware.

A model check before you buy

Yale: check the exact model

Assure Lock 2 and Linus L2 are different product families. An accessory for one is not a complete lock or a Matter upgrade for the other.

Depends on the complete lock and regional model

What you need

  • Check the complete lock model, regional installation requirements and supported Matter setup in Yale’s documentation.

Check before choosing

Some Yale listings sell a Linus L2 adapter for doors with an internal knob. An adapter is not an Assure Lock 2 or a complete Linus L2 lock, so confirm the listing names the complete lock.

No store link in this guide: choose the complete lock model in Yale’s documentation first, then match it at the retailer.

Matter smart locks: your questions

Which Matter smart locks are CSA certified?

45 door locks sold in the US are CSA Matter certified for the exact model, by brand: eufy (10), Kwikset (7), LOCKIN (6), Aqara (3), Level (3), SwitchBot (3), TCL (3), ULTRALOQ (3), Yale (3), Anona Security (1), Dreame (1), Philips (1) and Schlage (1). The comparison names each certificate; a maker’s Matter claim without a CSA record is not counted.

Do Matter smart locks need a hub?

It depends on the lock’s Matter network. 32 locks with a CSA record use Thread and need a Thread border router as well as your platform’s Matter controller; 7 use Wi-Fi and need only the controller. Many smart speakers, displays, streaming boxes and hubs are both; the hubs guide compares them by price.

Which Matter smart locks use Thread?

Of the 45 Matter smart locks in the tables above, sold in the US with a verified store link and a CSA record on file, 32 name Thread as their Matter network, by brand: eufy (6), LOCKIN (6), Aqara (3), Level (3), TCL (3), ULTRALOQ (3), Yale (3), Kwikset (2), Dreame (1), Philips (1) and Schlage (1). 7 name Wi-Fi: eufy (3), SwitchBot (3) and Anona Security (1); 6 name no single network: Kwikset (5) and eufy (1). The tables above name each model. A Thread lock needs a Thread border router, which many smart speakers, displays and hubs provide, as well as your platform’s Matter controller.

Which Matter locks support Apple Home Key?

4 lock records sold in the US with a CSA record on file name Apple Home Key: Aqara Smart Lock U200 Kit with Fingerprint Keypad, Matter over Thread, Apple Home Key (Thread); Kwikset Halo Select Plus Touchscreen Smart Lock, Wi-Fi and Matter Enabled, Satin Nickel (Not stated); Kwikset Halo Select Plus Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock (9801) (Not stated) and Level Lock Pro (Matter) (Thread). We report only what a record says; a lock without the words in its record may still support it, so check the maker’s page for the exact model.

Is the Aqara Smart Lock U100 a Matter lock?

Our Aqara Smart Lock U100 record has no CSA certificate on file: its Matter support is the maker’s claim (“Not verified (Matter support claimed)”). The maker’s own page names Apple Home, Amazon Alexa (with an Aqara hub) and Google Home (with an Aqara hub). The Aqara Smart Lock U200 Kit with Fingerprint Keypad has a CSA certificate on file (CSA2438DMAT43584-24) and its record names Thread. Our U100 vs U200 comparison sets the two side by side.

What is the cheapest Matter smart lock?

We show a price only when it is fresh: a store price we checked in the last 48 hours or an Amazon price retrieved in the last 24 hours. The comparison above sorts every lock with a CSA record by that price once prices load, lowest first, and says “Check price” where we have none; this page states no price of its own.

Can Matter smart locks work offline?

Inside your home, yes. Google says: “Matter-enabled devices work locally over your existing home wireless network without the need to connect to the cloud over the internet.” You still need your platform’s Matter controller on the home network, and 32 of the 45 locks we list with a CSA record use Thread, so they also need a Thread border router. Control from away is different: see the next answer.

Can I lock or unlock a Matter smart lock when I am away from home?

Yes, when a Matter controller in your home is online. The CSA says: “Matter is a local connectivity technology, so Matter-only devices require an internet-connected controller — such as those built into smart speakers and smart home hubs — to be present in the home to enable control when away from the home.” Apple says to set up a home hub (a HomePod or Apple TV) “to control your smart home accessories while you're away from home”. Google limits unlocking: “remote unlock is disabled on all surfaces for Matter door locks in the Google ecosystem that don't mandate a PIN code. Likewise, voice unlock for door locks is disabled.”

Can a Matter smart lock give guests their own codes?

It depends on the lock and the app. Kwikset says of its Halo Select: “Share up to 250 temporary, scheduled or permanent access codes with family and trusted guests.” Home Assistant’s Matter integration documents actions that create or update a user on a Matter lock and add or update a credential, such as a PIN. We have no Apple, Google or Amazon page on file that says their apps set guest codes on a Matter lock, so check your platform and the exact model. The records of 14 locks in our comparison name a keypad, touchscreen, fingerprint reader or PIN codes.

What still works on a Matter smart lock when the internet is down?

Control at home keeps working: Google says “Matter-enabled devices work locally over your existing home wireless network without the need to connect to the cloud over the internet.” Your platform’s Matter controller has to be on, and 32 of the 45 locks we list use Thread, so they also need a Thread border router. Control from away stops: the CSA says “Matter is a local connectivity technology, so Matter-only devices require an internet-connected controller — such as those built into smart speakers and smart home hubs — to be present in the home to enable control when away from the home.” At the door you still have the lock’s own way in: Kwikset says its Halo Select “includes 2 physical keys as an additional way of entry.” The maker pages we have on file do not say what their own apps do without the internet, so check the maker for app features.

What is the best Matter smart lock for rental property managers?

We have not tested locks for property management, and no maker page we have on file is written for property managers, so we name no single best lock. Two things the makers’ and the CSA’s pages state matter for rentals. Access codes: Kwikset says of its Halo Select “Share up to 250 temporary, scheduled or permanent access codes with family and trusted guests”, and its Halo Select Plus page says the same. Several apps on one lock: the CSA says “Matter’s multi-admin support also allows you to easily share devices across multiple platforms through a similar process, and choose which apps and platforms can access each device.” Codes are set in the maker’s app or in Home Assistant, whose Matter documentation describes an action that “adds or updates a credential, such as a PIN, on a Matter lock.” We have no Apple, Google or Amazon page on file that says their apps set codes on a Matter lock. If the door has to stay as it was, see our guide to Matter locks for renters.

Can a landlord and a tenant both control the same Matter lock?

Matter allows it: the CSA says “Matter’s multi-admin support also allows you to easily share devices across multiple platforms through a similar process, and choose which apps and platforms can access each device.” Google says “Matter-enabled devices can be simultaneously controlled in multiple Matter-certified smart home apps like Google Home, Apple Homekit, Amazon Alexa, and more.” So one lock can be added to more than one app or platform. We have no page on file that describes a landlord-and-tenant setup, so which codes and history each person’s app shows depends on the apps; check the maker’s app for user codes before you share the lock.

More questions, answered

Questions people search for, answered with the catalog as of .

How do I choose a Matter smart lock?

Choose in this order: your door and existing deadbolt (a replacement deadbolt or a retrofit that keeps it); the network (a Thread lock also needs a Thread border router, a Wi-Fi lock does not); the platform features you need, such as Apple Home Key, a keypad or fingerprint reader, which each lock’s page lists; and how it is powered. As of November 11, 2026, MatterCatalog lists 47 Matter smart locks sold in the US that are CSA certified for the exact model: 7 use Wi-Fi, 34 use Thread, 5 list both Thread and Wi-Fi and 1 does not state a network.

What’s new with Matter smart locks?

New certificates, model by model. As of November 11, 2026, 12 of the 47 Matter smart locks MatterCatalog lists as sold in the US and CSA certified for the exact model were certified in 2026 (12 use Thread). The newest certificates: Level Lock+ (Matter) Smart Lock (June 17, 2026); Lockin Veno Solar Face Smart Lock (March 9, 2026); Lockin Veno Solar Palm Smart Lock (March 9, 2026) and TCL D2 Plus Matter Fingerprint Smart Lock (March 2, 2026). Each product page shows the certificate ID and its date.

Which Matter smart locks are sold for European doors?

This guide’s picks and store links are for US doors. MatterCatalog also lists 14 smart lock models sold in Europe (the EU version) with a CSA Matter certificate for the exact model, from Nuki (6), Yale (4), Tedee (2), Bold Security (1) and Secuyou (1); the newest is Tedee GO, certified February 4, 2026. We show no store or price for them; check the fit for your door and cylinder on the maker’s page.

What is the best Matter smart lock for an apartment door?

If you can replace the deadbolt, see this guide’s replacement deadbolts, and check your door against the maker’s fit guide before ordering. As of November 11, 2026, of the 47 certified Matter locks sold in the US, 7 use Wi-Fi, 34 use Thread, 5 list both Thread and Wi-Fi and 1 does not state a network; a Thread lock also needs a Thread border router.

How we checked

This is an editorial comparison based on manufacturer documentation and the model numbers on retailer listings, not a hands-on test or an exhaustive ranking. Retailer pages can change: confirm the selected model, finish, included parts, delivery region and current terms before buying.

A manufacturer’s Matter support statement is separate from a CSA certification record for particular hardware and software. We do not establish the exact certification or firmware shipped with these retail listings. Features can also differ between a manufacturer’s app and a Matter ecosystem.

The Yale entry has no store link because Yale’s Matter locks come in several families and regional models. The other entries distinguish the models and bundles named by their retailer listings. No current price, stock or discount is implied.

On October 11, 2026 we added the comparison of every door lock sold in the US with a CSA record on file and the FAQ; both are built from the catalog records, and prices show only in the browser from our existing price data.

On October 26, 2026 we added the answer on using a Matter lock offline, from away and with guest codes, and three FAQ entries: they quote the CSA’s Matter FAQ, Google’s and Apple’s help pages, Google’s developer page on Matter door locks, Kwikset’s Halo Select page and Home Assistant’s Matter documentation, as each was read on the date we recorded; the lock counts are computed from the catalog records.

On November 1, 2026 we moved the offline answer to the top of the short answer, added what you keep at the door, and added three FAQ entries on the internet being down, rental property managers, and a landlord and a tenant sharing a lock. They quote Google Home Help: Prepare your smart home for Matter, CSA: Matter FAQ, Google Home Developers: Supported device types, Kwikset: Halo Select and Kwikset Halo Select Plus page, and Home Assistant’s Matter documentation; we re-read Kwikset’s Halo Select page that day. We have not tested any lock for rentals.
