A smart lock should not need a second gadget just to talk to your phone. Yet plenty of them cost $200-plus and still demand a separate hub before the app will work.
Veise’s answer is the VE027, which sells for $89.99 with the connection already built in. We studied its specifications and the feedback buyers have left across Veise’s range, to see if the lock lives up to the pitch.
Wi-Fi Is the Heart of This Lock
A 2.4GHz radio sits inside the lock body. It joins your home network without any help.
Once setup is done, you can control the lock from the app and check its status remotely. Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands work as well.
No gateway box is needed, so you also skip an extra $30 to $50 accessory.
Seven Ways to Open the Door
The VE027 offers a 7-in-1 system. Any of these methods will unlock it:
- Fingerprint
- PIN code
- Phone app
- Voice command
- One-time shared code
- Key fob
- Physical backup key
Fingerprint speed is rated at 0.2 seconds, and accuracy at 99.8%.
Storage is local. Up to 20 fingerprints and 100-plus PIN codes stay on the lock, encrypted with AES-128 rather than held in the cloud.
Materials, Batteries and Weather Resistance
- Material: aluminum
- Ratings: BHMA/ANSI Grade 3 for residential use, and IP65 waterproof
- Operating temperatures: -35°F to 160°F
- Door fit: standard U.S. doors, 1-3/8 inch to 2 inches thick
Eight AA batteries run the lock. Veise’s published spec promises up to 8 months with normal use.
If the batteries die and you end up locked out, an emergency USB-C port on the exterior lets you plug in a portable charger.
Setup needs just a screwdriver. There is no wiring, and you can do it yourself.
What Buyers Keep Pointing Out
According to reviewers, the built-in Wi-Fi is the feature VE027 owners praise most. Gateway-based locks add a setup step that trips people up, and this one avoids it.
Across Veise’s broader catalog, buyers are consistently happy with how fast and accurate the fingerprint reader is.
The auto-lock timer can be set anywhere from 10 to 180 seconds. Buyers often say it pays to adapt it to how you use your door, rather than keeping the default.
One drawback comes with Wi-Fi locks in general, Veise’s among them. Staying connected all day uses up battery.
Up to 8 months from eight AA batteries is respectable. Bluetooth-only Veise models do better, and they can last beyond a year on fewer batteries.
Finishes and What Ships in the Box
Two finishes are offered: Matte Black and Satin Nickel.
The box contains the lock, a screwdriver, an installation guide and backup keys. You must supply the batteries yourself, so buy eight AA cells ahead of install day.
Where It Sits in the Veise Range
Two siblings frame the VE027. The VE012W offers less fingerprint capacity and fewer PIN codes, while the VE027-H adds a full handleset for $140.99.
TEEHO’s TE012W is the outside rival that matches it most closely on price and features.
Our Verdict
For anyone who wants fingerprint entry and complete app control but would rather skip a gateway, this is the simplest choice in the Veise catalog at its price.
A 2-year warranty backs the lock, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee for direct orders. That gives you time to try it on your own door first.
