Qubo Smart Door Lock Select
🔔 Set Price Alert
Philips brings its reputation for quality electronics to the smart lock space with the 9300 Series. The fingerprint sensor provides quick biometric access, and the PIN code pad offers a reliable alternative when fingers are wet or dirty. The slim, modern design is notably more attractive than the bulky units from many competitors. Installation is designed to be DIY-friendly, matching standard Indian door handle preparations, so you may not need a carpenter. The USB-C emergency power port means a dead battery will never trap you outside. The low battery indicator gives plenty of warning before the batteries need changing. At under 6000 rupees, it is one of the most affordable entries into a branded smart lock from a globally recognised name. The catch is that it is a handle-style lock rather than a full deadbolt, and the fingerprint capacity is limited to 20 prints; but for apartments and interior doors, this is a solid, stylish choice.
