Halo Touch
across 4 reviews
3.5/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Built-in Wi-Fi means no hub required — remote access and notifications work without additional hardware
  • Fingerprint reader supports up to 100 prints across 50 users and reviewers found it responsive
  • Supports up to 250 access codes with time- and date-restricted scheduling for guests or recurring visitors
Reviewers push back
  • Struggles on 1-3/8-inch doors — one locksmith reviewer could not install it without fabricating custom spacers
  • All programming requires the companion app; nothing meaningful can be configured at the lock itself
  • Requires a dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band and does not reliably detect hybrid dual-band routers
A capable Wi-Fi smart lock with genuine fingerprint convenience and solid build, held back by narrow door compatibility and a mandatory-app setup that frustrates some installers.
— best for: Homeowners who want hub-free remote access, scheduled guest codes, and fingerprint entry on a standard 1-3/4-inch door in an existing Kwikset ecosystem.

Installation difficulty divides reviewers: the consumer channels called it straightforward and under 45 minutes, while the professional locksmith found it problematic on a correctly-spec'd display board
