Which is better for a front door with no handle?

Product B. It includes the exterior grip handleset, so the deadbolt and handle match. Product A is the deadbolt only and needs a separate handle or knob.

Do both work with Apple home keys?

Product A lists Apple HomeKit and Apple home keys explicitly. Product B is the same Encode Plus platform, but its listing only states WiFi and app control, so confirm home key support before buying.

Is Product B worth the extra money?

Only if you need the grip handle. The smart lock features are the same, so you pay about $154 more at current prices for the added handle hardware.

Product A carries BHMA's highest certification for security, durability and finish. Product B does not state a rating, so the deadbolt alone has the documented durability edge.

Can I use either without a hub?

Yes. Both connect over built-in WiFi, so no separate hub is needed for remote control and notifications.

Which has more buying options?

Product A. Nine stores price it new as of November 8, 2026, against one store for Product B, so there is more room to compare prices.
