ERA Protect Smart Universal Door Handle review
Households with a UPVC or composite front door on a multipoint lock who specifically want fingerprint entry on the handle itself.
By Tom Calder · Price last checked 20 Sep 2026, 12:29 BST · price-tracked
Fingerprint access for up to 50 users and a 9V backup supply are useful multipoint-door-specific features, and it's tested to PSTI, the UK's product security standard for connected devices. But stock across every UK retailer we checked was unusually patchy at time of writing, so treat availability as unconfirmed until you've checked directly with a retailer.

- Fingerprint recognition for up to 50 users plus two encrypted key cards included
- Tested to PSTI, the UK's product security standard for connected devices, and GDPR compliant per the manufacturer
- 9V backup power supply if the main batteries fail
- Stock was inconsistent across every UK channel checked, sold out direct from the manufacturer, listed as discontinued by one retailer, and unavailable on the sourced Amazon listing, so confirm availability before you commit
- Replaces only the door handle, not the multipoint lock's gearbox or cylinder, so the insurance-relevant mechanism is whichever is already fitted
- Batteries are not included in the box
Who shouldn't buy this
Skip this for now if you need something you can buy and fit this week; check stock directly with a retailer first, since availability was patchy across every UK channel at time of writing.
