Using keys is so last century. My smart lock knows when I'm approaching and automatically unlocks my door for me – alternatively I can scan my fingerprint or punch in a code. The Ultion Nuki Plus Smart Lock has been a game changer for me, and it's ideal for anyone that doesn't want to (or forgets to) carry their keys.

What I love is that this lock can be installed onto almost any external door in a matter of minutes rather than hours, and can be easily swapped back too – making it ideal for renters as well as home owners. This model connects directly to your home Wi-Fi so you can control it via your phone, and even connects with Apple Home Kit, and now has Matter support.

Oh and if you need to use a key, it features Ultion's advanced barrel lock and keys for a super secure entry. The only thing that is likely to put you off is the price, but for Amazon's Prime Big Deal Day sale, there's a massive £80 off the Ultion Nuki Plus model, taking the price down to £299. You can also pick up the standard Ultion Nuki with £80 off, at £179.
