Research scope: We used Wyze’s current Lock Bolt v2 page and lock support library. We did not test fingerprint recognition, network security, battery life or forced-entry resistance.
Three Wyze locks are easy to confuse
Wyze Lock Bolt v2 is the current complete deadbolt replacement with fingerprint reader, keypad, built-in Wi-Fi and a hidden mechanical keyway. The original Wyze Lock Bolt is primarily Bluetooth-based, while Wyze Lock attaches to the interior of a compatible existing deadbolt. Listings and old reviews are not interchangeable.
Wyze says v2 supports remote status/control, access history, auto-lock, codes and up to eight months of battery life. Battery life is a manufacturer estimate affected by Wi-Fi signal, traffic, temperature and motor effort. Keep the physical key accessible away from the locked door and respond to low-battery alerts.
Door fit comes first
Measure bore diameter, backset, door thickness and edge-bore position with Wyze’s current template. The latch and bolt must extend freely without the motor forcing against a misaligned strike. Fix sagging hinges or strike alignment before installation; repeated motor strain can shorten battery life and cause unreliable locking.
The exterior assembly has a weather-resistance rating, but the interior unit belongs indoors within its temperature limits. A storm door or direct exposure can change the environment. Confirm local fire-egress and rental rules before replacing hardware.
Access and account safety
Enroll more than one finger per trusted user if the app permits, create individual codes and remove temporary access promptly. Use a unique Wyze password and two-factor authentication. App history is useful, but it is not professional alarm monitoring.
Test key, fingerprint, code, app and auto-lock with the door open, then closed. Never rely on auto-lock until the bolt consistently reaches full extension.
Verdict and buying route
Lock Bolt v2 fits a door needing keypad/fingerprint entry plus remote Wi-Fi control and a key fallback. Choose the retrofit Wyze Lock when keeping the exterior cylinder is important, or the original Bolt only when Bluetooth-only behavior is understood.
