Which smart lock works with Ring?

For a smart lock that works with Ring, first decide whether you want Ring app control, Ring Alarm integration or simply Alexa support. Ring documents app setup for Schlage Encode; its Works with Ring Alarm lock list requires an Alarm Base Station. A lock that supports Alexa is not automatically supported inside the Ring app. Match the exact model and the action you want.

Conceptual integration routes. The arrows represent capabilities to verify, not a claim that any lock or doorbell supports them.

Model-specific starting points

Schlage Encode: Ring's support page describes linking the Schlage account from the Ring app. Its product listing also describes lock controls from Live View and requires a Ring doorbell or security camera for that integration. Some product-page copy still mentions an older setup route, so follow the current support instructions rather than mixing the two flows. Open our exact Encode model page.

Schlage Arrive: the manufacturer's page displays a Works with Ring badge. Treat that as a reason to check the Arrive-specific setup and supported actions, not proof that every Encode or Alarm feature applies. Open the Arrive specifications and manufacturer source.

Ring Alarm locks: use the official model list. It names model identifiers from Schlage, Kwikset and Yale and includes exceptions for some versions. A matching brand or family name is insufficient; compare the identifier on the product or package.

Catalog locks with Alexa listed

The models below have Alexa listed in our catalog. They are not presented as a Ring-compatible shortlist. Use their product pages to check the manufacturer's supported actions, required bridges and exact variants. Missing information is a reason to verify, not a pass.

Check the door, connection and action

Smart-lock buying checklist showing door hardware, network connection and supported app actions
Three separate checks: physical fit, the required connection, and the action you want to perform.
  1. Write down the current equipment. Include the exact Ring doorbell, any Alarm Base Station, the lock model and an existing bridge or hub.
  2. Name the action. Viewing the lock status, locking from Live View and disarming an alarm are different requests. Check each one in official documentation.
  3. Confirm the hardware. Check door dimensions, deadbolt type, handedness where relevant and the lock's installation instructions. A wireless integration does not establish physical fit.
  4. Check the account and region. Confirm that the integration is available for your account and location, and follow the documented account-linking flow.
  5. Review costs and recovery. Check any required equipment or service for the chosen functions, how access works when the connection fails, and how you will maintain batteries or keys.

Keep doorbell recording separate

A compatible lock does not make doorbell recordings free. Likewise, a camera subscription does not make an unsupported lock compatible. Review the camera's video-history terms and the lock integration independently. Our recording guide helps you compare that part of the setup.

If you are renting, start with the no-drill entrance guide and confirm permission for any lock change. If you are planning a larger system, use the camera planner for placement and device choices; use the exact-model evidence above for Ring lock functions.

Building around Apple Home instead? Use the HomeKit outdoor camera guide to check live view, Secure Video and hub requirements. For the entrance recording itself, compare doorbells with local storage.

Related questions

Does any Alexa smart lock work in the Ring app?

No. Alexa support and Ring app integration are separate capabilities. Check the exact lock, the official account-linking instructions and the supported actions.

Does a Ring doorbell replace a Ring Alarm Base Station?

No. Ring's certified Alarm lock list explicitly requires an Alarm Base Station. Owning a Ring camera or doorbell alone does not provide that connection.

Which Schlage lock has a documented Ring setup?

Ring publishes a setup guide for Schlage Encode. Schlage also displays a Works with Ring badge on its Arrive page. Confirm the exact model, current setup path and functions; do not transfer Encode instructions to a different model.

Can I disarm Ring Alarm by unlocking any compatible lock?

Do not assume that. App lock control, Alarm integration and automation are different functions. Check the official instructions, equipment and any plan requirements for that exact action.

Do I need a subscription?

Check the function you need. Video history, lock control, remote Alarm actions and automations can have different requirements. A lock compatibility badge does not answer every subscription question.
