1. Tuya: The Platform Behind Many Smart Lock Brands
Tuya is not a single lock maker; it is a smart home platform used by many smart lock brands. A lock “works with Tuya” when it pairs with the Tuya Smart app, which also controls switches, curtains and sensors. Learn more on the Tuya website.
Most Cordless locks list Tuya Smart App control. Our Tuya smart lock guide explains setup step by step.
2. Samsung (Zigbang): Push-Pull Digital Door Locks
Samsung digital door locks are among the best-known smart lock brands worldwide, and the line is now sold as Zigbang in some markets. JB Hi-Fi lists the SHP-DP609 as “Zigbang (previously Samsung)”.
According to that listing, the SHP-DP609 offers fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, NFC and app unlocking with a push-pull handle, Wi-Fi, access logs and up to 100 fingerprints and users.
3. Philips: EasyKey and Series Smart Door Locks
Philips-branded smart door locks are sold in Egypt through electronics retailers such as 2B, with ranges that include EasyKey and Easy series push-pull locks (for example the DDL702 and DDL303-VP) and a 7000 series palm vein model (DDL720). Specifications and prices differ by model and retailer, so check the exact listing.
4. EZVIZ: Smart Locks From a Camera Brand
EZVIZ is a smart camera brand that also makes smart locks. The EZVIZ DL05 page lists 7 unlocking methods (fingerprint, passcode, proximity card, mechanical key, Bluetooth key, temporary codes and remote unlock), 8 × AA batteries, a Type-C emergency port, an IP65 front panel and up to 50 users.
5. Yale and Nuki: Retrofit Smart Locks
Yale and Nuki are European-style smart lock brands best known for retrofit locks that work with an existing cylinder. The Yale ENTR, for example, is described as a retrofit lock for European profile cylinders of 35 to 78 mm, with Bluetooth, auto-locking and a rechargeable 2600mAh battery.
Retrofit locks are easy to install where the door uses a European cylinder, but many Egyptian doors use different lock bodies, so check compatibility first.
6. Cordless: Local Smart Lock Brand in Egypt
Cordless is an Egyptian smart lock and smart home company that sells locks priced in Egyptian pounds, with models for wooden, armored, aluminum, glass and gate doors. Most models use the Tuya Smart app.
- G-14: fingerprint, PIN, card, key and app, EGP 8,300.
- CL-03: 3D face, camera and 2-way video, EGP 14,300.
- CL-STORM: palm vein, camera, Alexa, EGP 15,800.
- CL-MARS: 2MP ultra-wide camera, Alexa, 5000mAh battery, EGP 23,000.
- CL-S16: full-automatic, face and palm vein, dual camera, EGP 28,000.
Imported vs Local Smart Lock Brands: Pros and Cons
Imported smart lock brands and local brands each have clear strengths. Knowing them helps you decide where your budget goes.
Imported Smart Lock Brands
- Pros: well-known names, global apps and long product histories.
- Cons: some models are designed for European or Asian door standards, prices change with the exchange rate, and some are only available through cross-border marketplaces, which can make warranty claims and spare parts harder.
Local Smart Lock Brands
- Pros: prices in Egyptian pounds, installation teams in Egypt, and models chosen for common Egyptian doors, including aluminum (the CL-15), glass (the GL01 and GL03) and outdoor gates (the CL-21).
- Cons: less international brand recognition, so check reviews, showroom availability and after-sales service before you buy.
Whichever of the smart lock brands you prefer, ask three questions before paying: who installs it, who fixes it, and how long the warranty lasts. A strong lock with no local support is a weak investment.

How to Choose Between Smart Lock Brands in Egypt
The best choice among smart lock brands depends less on the logo and more on five practical points:
- Door compatibility: the lock body must fit your door; aluminum and glass doors need dedicated models.
- Local installation: a technician who knows the model avoids alignment problems.
- Spare parts and warranty: ask who repairs the lock in Egypt and how long the warranty is.
- App ecosystem: one app for the lock and your smart home system is easier to live with.
- Total installed price: include shipping, customs and installation for imported locks.
