Alfred DB2S smart lock review: Entry options aplenty

Here is a 182-word summary of the Alfred DB2S smart lock review: The Alfred DB2S is the latest version of Alfred's smart lock lineup, featuring a sleek but large design with various entry options. It offers smooth physical operation, improved PIN support (up to 250 codes), and optional Z-Wave or Wi-Fi connectivity for smart home integration. Installation is generally straightforward, though the detailed instructions may be overkill. The lock supports PIN codes and RFID cards for electronic access, with the ability to enable "Away" and "Privacy" modes to enhance security. However, the companion mobile app feels dated and lacks a unified view of user access permissions. The geofencing feature also did not work reliably in testing. At a starting price of $320, the DB2S is one of the more expensive smart locks on the market, especially considering the lack of modern biometric access methods or Matter support. While it functions well, buyers may want to wait for a sale or consider more affordable alternatives that offer comparable features.
