SwitchBot Lock Pro review
By Tom Calder
The broadest compatibility list here, built for British oval and Swiss round cylinders as well as standard euro-profile, and standard AA batteries mean no proprietary rechargeable pack to eventually replace. Its steady list price is competitive, though full keypad and fingerprint entry needs the separately sold Hub 2.
- Best for
- Buyers wanting the widest cylinder compatibility, including British oval and Swiss round, not just euro-profile, at the lowest starting price in this comparison.
- Skip it if
- You want fingerprint or keypad entry out of the box without buying a separate hub

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.
What we like
- Confirmed compatibility with British oval and Swiss round cylinders as well as euro-profile, not just one door type
- Runs on 4 x replaceable AA batteries rather than a sealed rechargeable pack
- Works with Matter, Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT through a SwitchBot hub, sold separately
Worth knowing
- Keypad and fingerprint entry both require the optional SwitchBot Hub 2, an extra purchase
- No BS3621 or insurance-approval claim made by SwitchBot
- Promotional pricing with time-limited codes fluctuates, so don't bank on the discounted figure

Best for Households wanting to replace their entire door handle with a keyless smart handle rather than just adding an actuator.
