When you're shopping for a smart deadbolt in the smart home electronics arena, the first decision is often whether one feature-rich lock or a whole two-pack makes more sense for your doors. Both of these are open-box Philips Home Access deadbolts: a 4000-series Bluetooth deadbolt sold as a two-pack, and a 4200-series Wi-Fi deadbolt with fingerprint and keypad access. Their listed prices sit about $25 apart, and that gap reflects very different capabilities and hardware counts. Here's how to choose.
Quick verdict
If you want to cover two exterior doors and enjoy keyless Bluetooth entry via the Philips Home Access app, the 4000 two-pack is the practical pick. If one door is all you need and you value remote locking, fingerprint scans, and voice control, the 4200 is the stronger upgrade.
Comparison table
| Product | Listed Price | Key Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philips Home Access 4000 | $49.86 | Two deadbolts, Bluetooth, keyless, key override, universal/reversible handing | Two doors, keyless convenience |
| Philips Home Access 4200 | $75.00 | Wi-Fi, fingerprint, keypad, app control, Alexa/Google Assistant, AA batteries required | One door with remote and hands-free entry |
Where each product wins
The 4000 wins on total hardware and upfront cost. You get two complete deadbolts-not just two extra keys-for a lower listed price than the 4200. Both locks include key override, which is a useful fallback if you ever prefer mechanical entry. It also uses universal/reversible handing, so it can be fitted on either side of a door that matches standard prep.
The 4200 wins on access flexibility. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you lock and unlock from anywhere, and the fingerprint sensor plus keypad means you can skip physical keys altogether. Voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant is another layer of convenience. The trade-off is that you're buying a single lock, and it needs AA batteries that aren't included.
Product notes
Philips Home Access 4000 Deadbolt 2-Pack
The 4000 is the practical two-door pick. You receive two locks, each with a matte black finish, key override, and support for the Philips Home Access app. Because it's an open-box demo unit, it was inspected and tested and comes with the hardware and keys you need to install on standard door preps. If you have a front and back door-or a rental or guest space-you can secure both without stepping up to a single higher-priced unit. The limitation is connectivity: it communicates over Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi, so you won't get remote status or control from away. You'll also rely on the app or the physical key for entry rather than a fingerprint sensor or keypad.
Philips Home Access 4200 Smart Deadbolt
The 4200 is the single-door upgrade that focuses on remote and touch-free entry. It was opened but never installed, so the moving parts were not used, and it includes original documentation, screws, hardware, keys, and the original box. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you lock and unlock from anywhere on a 2.4GHz network, and the fingerprint sensor and keypad mean you can ditch the mechanical key for everyday use. It also works with voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant. The catch: it's one lock, not two, so outfitting multiple doors gets expensive, and you'll need AA batteries on hand because they aren't included. If you're replacing a single front-door deadbolt, this gives you the most access options.
Final choice by use case
- You need to secure two doors: The Philips Home Access 4000 is the straightforward choice. You get two Bluetooth deadbolts at a combined listed price of $49.86, and each one can be managed through the same app.
- You want one door with maximum access flexibility: The Philips Home Access 4200 justifies its $75.00 listed price with Wi-Fi, fingerprint, keypad, and voice control. Just budget for AA batteries and a single-door install.
- Still on the fence: Go with the 4000 if you want two locks instead of one; choose the 4200 if remote access and fingerprint convenience are must-haves.
