Door Lever without Keypad

[JDRoberts]

@KenW48360

Thanks, I want one without the deadbolt, just the lever, and no keypad. From the outside, it would look like a normal keyed leverset.

Best option for this is probably an electric strike plate. Installation on these is more complex than the prebuilt smart locks, but it can work fine and is relatively inexpensive to do. In these cases you are using the existing knob/handle, you’re just changing the way the lock is released.

There are several community members who have done it. See, for example,

How i made my doors unlock... ON THE CHEAP (under $50) (electric strike)

So i had two major issues with the options we are currently given to automatically lock/unlock our doors. they are: 1: cost (a replacement door handle with zigbee/zwave averages about $199, and a simple door deadbolt starts at $100. 2: The fact that all this stuff is for some reason required to be ran off of batteries. I’ve made some progress in my house migrating to arduino (also for cost) for this very reason. Incidently: arduino clone + smartthings shield = about $40 and arduino sensors are C.H.E.A.P. I have a bag of door switches i paid $1.00 apiece for. Anyway, on to the implementation… In advance, i will mention that everything that’s required to get this up and running was less than fifty dollars. parts list: door striker, electric. Available on Ebay for as low as $21.…

I know there’s at least one more of these on the quick browse projects list for locks:

If you don’t want to install this yourself, the companies that do automatic doors for people in wheelchairs can typically do just a strike plate option , but that’s going to cost a lot more than the DIY project.

The only thing is that there’s no combination lock option with this. You’re just going to have a single unlock command. You can trigger that from Geopresence or a keyfob or just the SmartThings mobile app, but if you want to have different codes for different people you would need to also add a keypad like the iris where you would enter a code which then tells SmartThings to release the electric strike. So just comes down to the details of what you want.
