The Schlage Encode Wi-Fi lever is $70 off and can be installed on almost any door with a standard handle, with no deadbolt required.
As a smart home reviewer, different smart locks have made their way through my home’s front and back doors. The door that leads from our laundry room to the garage, however, never had a smart lock, even though it’s one of the doors we use the most.

Installing the Schlage Encode lever was easy. If replacing an average dumb doorhandle takes about five or ten minutes, you can expect this Schlage lever to take you about 15.
The only difference between the Schlage Encode lever and a conventional door handle during installation is the smart component, which means you need to thread the wires carefully and install batteries, then set it up on the app.
