Veise VSL200 Smart Lock with Lever Handle: features, specs and fit

The Veise VSL200 is a keyless smart lock sold as a set: a deadbolt with a touchscreen keypad and two lever handles, in matte black. It replaces a conventional lock and handle on a front door and lets you open it with a code, card, app or key.

Ways to unlock

Veise lists many routes in: the app, a web portal, two included cards, a keypad code, shared eKeys, an authorized admin, two mechanical keys and an inside thumb turn. It is also compatible with Apple Watch. Having a mechanical key as a fallback is useful when the batteries run low or a phone isn't to hand.

Codes, users and the app

Veise says the lock holds 250+ user codes and 1000+ fobs. Through the app and web portal you can create one-time, permanent, timed, recurring or custom codes, and erase them. The app also shows access logs and lets you set up eKeys remotely. That suits a home with house sitters, a rental property or a small office, where different people need access at different times.

Remote control is a separate matter. The listing says that to see live access logs, check battery level and lock status, or use Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, you need the Veise G2 Wi-Fi gateway, which is sold separately. Without it, the app typically works over Bluetooth at close range.

Auto-lock and security features

Auto-lock can be set between 5 and 900 seconds, and holding "#" for 2 seconds locks the door at once. Other listed features include privacy mode, silent mode, passage mode, a low-battery alert, a limit of five wrong code entries and anti-peeping code entry. The anti-peeping feature typically lets you add extra digits around the real code so onlookers can't read it from fingerprints.

The lock is rated IP54, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and splashing water, and is certified to ANSI Grade 3. Grade 3 is the lowest of the three ANSI/BHMA grades, aimed at residential use. Follow local building codes and the manual for installation and for any fire-door or egress requirements.

Measurements and installation

Veise gives these door specifications:

• Backset: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch (60 or 70 mm)
• Door thickness: 1-3/8 to 2 inches (35 to 50 mm)
• Cross bore: 2-1/8 inches (54 mm), with a 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) edge hole
• Door frame hole: at least 1 inch (25 mm)

It fits most standard US doors, left- or right-handed, and Veise says installation takes about 10 minutes with a screwdriver. It needs four AA batteries, which are not included. The box measures 12.6 x 7.1 x 3.9 inches (about 32 x 18 x 10 cm).

Who it suits

It suits households that want to stop carrying keys, owners who share access with guests or helpers, and anyone who likes seeing who came and went. A lock with both lever handle and deadbolt makes sense where you are replacing an entire entry set.

What to check before you buy

• Door prep: measure the bore, backset, edge hole and thickness against the list above.
• Hand and style: confirm it suits your door and existing hardware.
• Gateway: decide whether you need the separate G2 gateway for remote control.
• Batteries: you'll need four AA cells; keep spares and the mechanical keys handy.
• Local rules: check any rental, strata or building requirements.
