Every lock here assumes a door already prepared to take it, and every listing names the form it takes: five name a deadbolt and one names a knob lock. None of the listings prints what the door needs, and the site gives no instructions for preparing a door or fitting a lock. It makes no statement that any lock is secure; grades are repeated as printed, and their publishers are linked on the marks page.
Each row reads left to right in a fixed order. A filled cell means the listing states that requirement; a dashed cell means the listing is silent where the requirement could apply; an outlined cell means the requirement does not come up. Every cell is named in words beside the row.
Wi-Fi smart locks
3 listings
Locks whose listings name built-in Wi-Fi. None of them prints a band, so the network cell is dashed on each.
Only lock naming a door lever
Of the 6 lock listings, only this one names an included door lever, which speaks to more of the door than the lock alone.

A deadbolt that the listing pairs with an included door lever, so it says something about what else the door ends up carrying. It names voice and fingerprint unlocking without naming an assistant, so the site cannot say which voice it means.

Who it fitsA door where the lever is being replaced along with the lock, which is the pairing this listing describes.
It prints BHMA Grade 3, a grade on the scale BHMA publishes; the site links that scale rather than saying what the grade means for any door. It names fingerprint entry, app remote control and up to eight months of battery, which is the part this lock says it will want again.

It names compatibility with Alexa, Google Home, Ring and Airbnb; the site counts the assistants among those names and leaves the rest as printed. It prints certified security without naming a program or a grade, and the site reads that phrase as words and nothing more.

Keypad locks with no network named

Locks with a keypad and no Wi-Fi, app or assistant in the listing. The Yamiry is a knob lock, not a deadbolt, filed among the deadbolts; its card says so, and the site does not decide for the seller where it belongs.

A keypad deadbolt described in few words: a ten button keypad, keyless entry, customizable user codes and auto-locking. No network, grade or battery is printed, and the site reads that as the listing’s silence, not as proof the lock has none of them.

Who it fitsA door prepared for a deadbolt, where a keypad is the whole of the plan.
By its own words a digital knob lock with a handle, which is a different piece of door hardware from the deadbolts around it. Smart is in its title, yet no network, app or assistant is named anywhere in the listing. It names twenty user codes, two backup keys, auto lock and a backlit keypad.
This is a knob lock, not a deadbolt, and the catalog filed it among the deadbolts. The site names it the way the listing does and does not decide for the seller where it belongs.

Questions about these listings
Does a grade on a listing mean the lock is secure?
The site does not say that any lock is secure. ANSI Grade 3 and BHMA Grade 3 are printed by the listings; what BHMA’s grade scale is, and who publishes it, is on the ANSI and BHMA grade page.
Will one of these fit a particular door?
The listings print no door measurements, and the site gives no fitting instructions. The manufacturer’s instructions, or a locksmith, are where that question gets answered.
Why is a knob lock on a page of deadbolts?
The catalog filed it there. The listing calls it a digital knob lock with a handle, and the site names it that way without deciding where the seller should have filed it.
