Imagine never fumbling for keys again — just a quick touch or a tap, and you're inside! The Philips 4000 Series Touchscreen Fingerprint Smart Deadbolt might be your new way to unlocking a life with fewer lockouts and more peace of mind.

This matte black deadbolt stores up to 50 fingerprints, over 100 PIN codes, and unlimited one-time guest codes. Want to let the dog walker in next Tuesday? Easy, give her her very own code. Need to lock up while you're stuck in traffic? No problem, do it remotely. It connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and doesn't require a separate hub, so you have one less device to worry about. Plus it uses AES128 encryption to keep your data safe, and the app sends real-time notifications so you always know who comes and goes.

This lock is made for people who want control and peace of mind. You can unlock it remotely, set up temporary access, or use your fingerprint for quick entry. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant if you use those at home.

The hardware is simple and easy to deal with. It replaces a regular deadbolt, uses eight AA batteries that last up to eight months, and is protected against dust and splashes with an IP54 rating. There's no wiring, no confusing installation, and you won't need to spend all day setting it up.

For just $110.49 (reg. $179.99), the Philips 4000 Series Touchscreen Fingerprint Smart Deadbolt is less about going full super high-tech and more about smoothing out one of the most repetitive parts of your day. If your current lock feels like it belongs in 1999, this will be an ideal upgrade worth considering.
