Arms full of groceries, toddler on your hip, and you're standing at the front door digging for a key that's somewhere at the bottom of your bag. It's a small frustration that happens dozens of times a week — and it's exactly what a keyless entry door lock with handle is built to solve. Instead of replacing just the deadbolt, an all-in-one handle set replaces the entire door hardware with a matched combination of a keypad lock and lever handle.

Veise builds every lock in this category from the ground up in its own factory, backed by 38 years of lock industry expertise and 711 patents — the world's largest smart lock patent portfolio. That means every handle set you see here is engineered as a complete system, not a keypad bolted onto a generic handle someone else made. Whether you want simple keypad entry, app control from across town, or a fingerprint that reads in under 0.3 seconds, there's a Veise handle set designed for exactly that. This guide walks you through how to choose between the four main categories and which specific sets to consider for your home.

Why an All-in-One Handle Set Makes Sense

Most people start a home security upgrade by replacing the deadbolt alone. That works — but it leaves you with two separate pieces of hardware that may not match in finish, style, or trim height. An all-in-one keyless entry door lock with handle solves this at the source: the deadbolt and both lever handles (interior and exterior) arrive in the same box, same finish, same design family. One installation. One look. No searching for a lever that coordinates with a lock you already bought.

There is a practical security benefit, too. All-in-one handle sets are designed so the deadbolt and handle align properly with the door frame and work together as a matched system. The bolt, latch, and trim are designed to complement each other, helping create a secure and cohesive installation. With a Veise handle set, the components are selected and designed to work together from the start rather than being pieced together as an afterthought.

It is also worth noting what Veise handle sets are not compatible with: they are designed for standard wood doors between 1-3/8" and 2" thick. They do not fit metal, fiberglass, storm, or sliding doors. If your door fits the wood-door profile, installation typically takes around 15 minutes with a screwdriver — no wiring, no locksmith, no special tools.

How to Choose the Right Keyless Entry Door Lock With Handle

The most useful way to choose a Veise handle set is by starting with the question: how do you actually want to get in and out of your home? Do you want a simple PIN code and a physical key backup — nothing more? Or do you want to check whether the door is locked from work, share a timed code with a dog walker, and get a push notification when your kids arrive home from school? Those are very different use cases, and Veise organizes its handle sets into four categories that map directly to them.

• Keypad Deadbolt handle sets — offline, code and fingerprint entry, no app or Internet connection required
• Smart Lock w/ G1 handle sets — app control via the paired G1 gateway, fingerprint, key fob, multilingual voice prompts
• Smart Lock w/ G2 handle sets — app control via the G2 gateway, Apple Watch unlock, web portal, multiple form factor options
• Wi-Fi Smart Lock handle sets — built-in Wi-Fi, full remote access with no gateway purchase, voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant directly

A few other factors matter across all categories. Every Veise handle set is ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certified — the recognized standard for residential security. All models include a physical key as a backup on every single SKU. Auto lock is universal, configurable between 10 and 180 seconds on smart lock models (10 to 99 seconds on keypad deadbolt models), so you never have to wonder whether you remembered to lock up. Prices across the Veise handle set lineup run from roughly $30 to $180, keeping every category accessible without sacrificing build quality.

Category 1: Keypad Deadbolt Handle Sets

If you want keyless entry without any app setup, Wi-Fi pairing, or ongoing connectivity, the Keypad Deadbolt handle set is the right starting point. These locks operate entirely offline. They store codes, read fingerprints (on fingerprint-enabled models), and throw the bolt — all on-device, with nothing leaving the hardware. No account creation, no cloud sync, no subscription fees.

Within the keypad deadbolt category, Veise splits handle sets into two paths: models without fingerprint (the RZ and KS01 series) and models with fingerprint (the KS02 series). The KS02 handle set comes in three configurations to suit different door styles: the KS02B with two lever handles, the KS02C with a knob, and the KS02D with a vertical handle — are the all-in-one picks for buyers who want biometric entry. Fingerprint enrollment captures your finger eight times to build a reliable template, and recognition clocks in at under 0.3 seconds. Templates are stored entirely on the lock's AI chip — no data leaves the device, no internet account is linked to your fingerprint.

The non-fingerprint handle sets (RZ-C, KS01B, KS01C) are a smart fit for households that want straightforward PIN code entry — up to 20 user codes, one-time guest codes that expire automatically after use, and an anti-peeping feature that lets you type random digits before or after your real code to mask it from anyone watching. Both paths include auto lock (configurable 10 to 99 seconds), a low-battery indicator, and a physical key backup. Installation fits standard US wood doors with a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset.

Best for: Homeowners who want a clean, no-app upgrade — reliable keyless entry for the family without the need to manage a connected device.

Category 2: Smart Lock w/ G1 Handle Sets

The Smart Lock w/ G1 category is built on a single product series — the VE017. Every handle set in this line includes the same all-in-one feature set: fingerprint (under 0.3 seconds), keypad PIN, key fob, physical key, and app control via the paired G1 gateway. Pair the gateway and you gain remote lock and unlock from anywhere, real-time activity logs, shared access management, and voice control through Alexa or Google Assistant. The G1 gateway bridges the lock to your home Wi-Fi — the lock itself does not need built-in Wi-Fi to deliver full remote functionality.

Two details set the G1 line apart from other smart lock categories. First, the VE017 series ships with multilingual voice prompts in English, Spanish, and French — a genuine differentiator for multilingual households or extended families where not everyone is comfortable with English-only audio feedback. Second, every VE017 handle set includes a USB-C emergency power port. If the batteries run completely flat before you notice the low-battery alert, you can press a USB-C power bank against the port, enter your code, and get inside. That is a practical reassurance most keypad-only locks simply do not offer.

The VE017 handle set family covers multiple form factors: the VE017-H with a classic retro-style handleset, the VE017-L with two zinc alloy lever handles, and the VE017-K with two stainless steel knob handles. All share the same fingerprint sensor, the same app platform (Veise-developed), and the same USB-C backup. For families with kids, the G1 line is a particularly strong choice: even when the Internet is down, app control continues to work locally as long as you are within short-range wireless distance of the lock, so parents can still monitor activity and manage access without a live connection.

Best for: Families, property owners managing rental access, or multilingual households who want full connected control without committing to a Wi-Fi lock.

Category 3: Smart Lock w/ G2 Handle Sets

The Smart Lock w/ G2 category brings two features that no other Veise lock category offers: Apple Watch unlock and web portal control. If you regularly leave the house with your phone inside but your Apple Watch on your wrist, the G2 line lets you unlock the door from your watch without pulling out your phone. Web portal control means you can manage codes, review access logs, and share eKeys from any browser — useful for property managers who work from a desktop rather than a phone.

The G2 line also offers the widest SKU variety in the Veise lineup. Handle set bundles include fingerprint and non-fingerprint options, in lever, knob, and vertical-handle configurations. The VE06-H and VE06-L are the flagship G2 handle sets, covering lever-based all-in-one configurations with full app control, key fob, keypad PIN, and physical key. For buyers who do not need fingerprint or who are looking for a more budget-friendly connected option, the non-fingerprint handle sets provide app and gateway access at a lower entry point than the G1 line. Note that the G2 line currently supports English voice prompts only.

Like the G1 category, Smart Lock w/ G2 requires the G2 gateway (sold separately) for remote access and voice control. Local access methods work without Wi-Fi, Internet, or a gateway, so you can still unlock your door even when the connection is unavailable. Even when the Internet is down, app control continues to work locally as long as you are within short-range wireless distance of the lock — only off-site remote features require a live connection.

Best for: Apple Watch users, property managers who prefer web-based access control, or buyers who want a connected smart lock without the fingerprint premium.

Category 4: Wi-Fi Smart Lock Handle Sets

The Wi-Fi Smart Lock category is the most connected option Veise makes — and the simplest to set up for remote access. The lock connects directly to your home's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. No gateway purchase, no extra hardware to plug in. From day one, you can lock and unlock from anywhere, view real-time access logs, share time-limited codes with guests, and receive instant alerts when the door opens. Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands work directly via the built-in Wi-Fi connection, without any bridge in the middle.

Veise offers two Wi-Fi series in handle set form. The Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock (VE027 Series) features a touchscreen keypad interface, three-language voice prompts, and a USB-C emergency power port — the same backup mechanism found on the G1 line. The Push-Button Wi-Fi Smart Lock (VE012W Series) uses a traditional press-button keypad and includes none of the VE027 series extras — no USB-C port, no key fob support, and no on-device voice prompts — making it a leaner, more affordable entry into Wi-Fi-connected keyless entry. Both series use an 8 AA battery design — more cells than the standard 4 AA setup — delivering a stronger, more stable connection and a longer-lasting power reserve.

The VE027-H handle set is the flagship all-in-one in this category: it ships with the smart deadbolt and an aluminum handleset in one package, connects to Wi-Fi out of the box, and supports fingerprint (under 0.3 seconds), keypad PIN, key fob, physical key, and app control. Every fingerprint template and PIN code is stored locally on encrypted chips inside the lock — nothing is uploaded to any cloud server. For short-term rental hosts, families with school-age kids, or anyone who manages access for multiple people, the Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock (VE027 Series) delivers the Effortless Home Entry™ experience without a monthly fee or extra hardware.

Best for: Homeowners, Airbnb hosts, and families who want the simplest path to full remote access — everything in one lock, no additional hardware required.

What Installation Actually Looks Like

One of the most common hesitations around replacing a front door lock is the fear of getting it wrong. Veise handle sets are designed to remove that anxiety. Every set fits standard US wood doors between 1-3/8" and 2" thick, with 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backsets — the same dimensions as most existing residential locksets. The hardware is reversible for left- or right-handed doors. You do not need to drill new holes if your door was prepped for a standard lockset. The only tool required is a screwdriver, and most installations complete in about 15 minutes.

The process for all Veise handle sets follows the same basic sequence: remove the existing handles and deadbolt, slide the new latch into the edge bore, align the exterior and interior assemblies through the cross-bore, and secure with the provided screws. Smart lock categories add one step — connecting to the app after hardware installation. For Wi-Fi smart locks, that means entering your Wi-Fi credentials once. For gateway-paired smart locks, it means pairing the lock to your gateway. Neither step requires any wiring or technical background. The in-box instructions and the Veise US-based support team (available by phone on weekdays and Saturday) cover any edge case you encounter.

The Bottom Line

A keyless entry lock with a handle is really one decision made twice: how you want to get in, and how much of the door you want to replace in one go. The handle set answers the second half — deadbolt, handles, and keypad arrive as a matched set, install into the same door prep, and end up looking like they were specified together rather than accumulated over years.

The first half comes down to connectivity. A keypad deadbolt handle set is the right answer for most front doors: code and fingerprint entry, a physical key cylinder as backup, and no app, gateway, or network to think about. Step up to a Smart Lock w/ Gateway 1/2 handle set when you want remote access and are happy to plug a gateway in within range of the lock — Smart Lock w/ G1 for multilingual households and USB-C emergency power across the line, Smart Lock w/ G2 when Apple Watch unlock or web portal control matters. Choose a Wi-Fi Smart Lock handle set when you want remote access with no extra hardware at all, and the VE027 series when the touchscreen, key fob, USB-C port, and three-language voice prompts are worth having.

Whichever range fits, the constants do not change: ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification, a physical key cylinder on every model, a roughly 15-minute install with a screwdriver, and no subscription fees — across a $30–$180 lineup built in Veise's own factory on 38 years of lock industry expertise and 711 patents, the world's largest smart lock patent portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all Veise keyless entry door locks with handles include a physical key backup?

Yes. Every Veise handle set includes at least two physical backup keys regardless of category. Whether you choose a simple keypad deadbolt set or a fully connected Wi-Fi smart lock set, you always have a mechanical key option as a fallback. On every model in the VE017 series (Smart Lock w/ G1) and VE027 series (Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock), a USB-C emergency power port provides an additional backup — connect a power bank to the exterior port and enter your code if the batteries have fully depleted.

What doors are Veise handle sets compatible with?

Veise handle sets are compatible with standard wood doors between 1-3/8" and 2" thick, with a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset. They are not compatible with metal, fiberglass, storm, or sliding doors. If you are unsure whether your door qualifies, measure the thickness and check the existing backset measurement before ordering. The Veise US-based support team can help confirm compatibility.

Do I need a subscription to use app features on a Veise smart lock?

No. All app features — remote access, code management, activity logs, and notifications — are permanently free on Veise smart locks. There are no monthly fees, no paid tiers, and no features gated behind a subscription. The app itself is free to download and use indefinitely.

Can I still use the lock if the Internet goes down?

Yes. On all Veise smart lock handle sets, keypad PIN, fingerprint, key fob, and physical key work entirely locally — no Internet connection required. For gateway-paired and Wi-Fi smart locks, even when the Internet is down, app control continues to work locally as long as you are within short-range wireless distance of the lock. Only off-site remote features (locking from across town, receiving alerts when away) require a live Internet connection.

What is the difference between Smart Lock w/ G1 and Smart Lock w/ G2 handle sets?

Both G1 and G2 gateway-paired smart lock handle sets share the same core unlock methods: keypad PIN, key fob, physical key, and remote app control via the paired gateway, with fingerprint standard on every Smart Lock w/ G1 and available on many Smart Lock w/ G2 models. The key differences are: Smart Lock w/ G1 (VE017 series) includes multilingual voice prompts in English, Spanish, and French, a USB-C emergency power port on every model, and uses a Veise-developed app. Smart Lock w/ G2 supports Apple Watch unlock and web portal control, currently supports English voice prompts only, and offers more SKU variety including non-fingerprint handle set options.

Is the Wi-Fi Smart Lock better than the gateway-paired Smart Lock?

It depends on your priorities. The Wi-Fi Smart Lock (VE027 or VE012W series) connects directly to your home Wi-Fi — no gateway purchase needed, which simplifies setup and reduces upfront cost. The Smart Lock w/ G1 or G2 requires a separately purchased gateway for remote features, but the gateway can support multiple locks on one account. For most single-door homeowners who want full remote access on day one, the Wi-Fi Smart Lock handle set is the more straightforward choice.
