Why Buy Smart Locks From Smart Home Ghana?

Exploring Smart Door Locks for Your Home

Smart Home Ghana focuses on making homes more secure, energy-efficient, and convenient through integrated automation, and smart door locks are a central part of this vision. Instead of buying a random lock online and hoping it works, customers get products that are compatible with popular smart home platforms, tested in the local environment, and supported by professional installers.​

Because the company works extensively with AI-powered security and IoT ecosystems, its smart locks can be integrated with cameras, motion sensors, smart lighting, and voice assistants to create a complete access-control system. This approach fits the growing demand in Ghana for homes that are both secure and modern, and also prepares properties for the wider smart-city and smart-real-estate transformation already happening in the country.

Types of Smart Door Locks Available in Accra

Smart Home Ghana offers several categories of smart locks that all support mobile app control and multiple ways to unlock the door.​

Common options include:

• 3D Face Recognition Tuya Wi-Fi Smart Door Locks
  These high-end locks combine facial recognition, fingerprint access, PIN codes, RFID cards, mechanical keys, and app control in one device. They are ideal for main entrances in modern homes, offices, or premium apartments where fast, hands-free access and strong identity verification are important.​
• Tuya Smart Fingerprint Door Locks With Keypads
  These locks use fingerprints and PIN codes as the primary access methods, backed up by mechanical keys and full mobile app management. They work well for typical residential doors in Accra and can be used for owner-occupied homes, rentals, and small offices.​
• Smart Locks for Glass and Special Doors
  For properties with frameless glass doors, such as showrooms, offices, or high-end apartments, Smart Home Ghana also supplies locks that are specifically designed to fit glass panels while still supporting app control and smart features.​

Most of these locks run on batteries with low-battery alerts and emergency override options, so they continue functioning during power cuts and internet interruptions, which are real-world concerns in Ghana.

How Mobile App Control Works

Nearly all the smart locks offered by Smart Home Ghana use platforms like Tuya or similar ecosystems, which allow you to manage your lock directly from a smartphone.​

With the app, you can typically:

• Lock and unlock the door from anywhere, when the lock is connected to Wi-Fi or a compatible gateway.
• Create permanent, temporary, or scheduled PIN codes for family members, staff, guests, or Airbnb visitors, and delete them when no longer needed.
• View basic access records to see who entered and when, improving security and accountability in homes and rental properties.​

Because Smart Home Ghana’s solutions are designed as full automation systems, app-controlled locks can also be linked with indoor and outdoor lighting, cameras, and alarms. For example, unlocking the front door can automatically turn on hallway lights at night, or a failed code attempt can trigger alert notifications and camera recording.​

Where to Get Smart Door Locks in Accra

Homeowners and property managers in Accra can get smart door locks with mobile app control directly from Smart Home Ghana through its website and service channels. From there, you can explore products, request recommendations based on your door type (wooden, metal, or glass) and budget, and book professional installation anywhere in Accra.​

Because Smart Home Ghana already supports smart homes for property management, real estate developers, and individual homeowners, it can design packages that combine smart locks with security cameras, motion sensors, lighting automation, and even energy-saving solutions like smart plugs and thermostats. For more on this, see our guide on how to reduce energy bills with smart home technology. This helps you move from a single lock to a complete smart home setup that improves security, convenience, and long-term property value in Ghana’s growing smart-home market.​

Smart Door Lock Prices in Ghana (2026)

One of the most common questions we hear is: how much does a smart door lock cost in Ghana? Prices vary depending on the features and lock type, but here is a general breakdown to help you budget:

• Basic Smart Keypad Locks: ₵350 – ₵800. These offer PIN code access and basic app control via Tuya or Smart Life. Ideal for bedroom doors, storerooms, or secondary entrances.
• Fingerprint + Keypad Smart Locks: ₵800 – ₵1,500. The most popular option for main doors in Accra homes and apartments. Multiple unlock methods including fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, and mechanical key.
• 3D Face Recognition Smart Locks: ₵1,500 – ₵2,500. Premium locks with facial recognition, fingerprint, keypad, RFID, and full app control. Best for main entrances in high-end homes and offices.
• Glass Door Smart Locks: ₵1,200 – ₵2,000. Specially designed for frameless glass doors found in modern offices, showrooms, and contemporary apartments.

All prices include the lock unit. Professional installation by Smart Home Ghana is available across Accra, Tema, and surrounding areas. Most locks run on standard AA batteries that last 6–12 months, keeping running costs minimal.

Fingerprint vs Keypad vs Card: Which Smart Lock Is Right for You?

Choosing the right smart door lock depends on your household, budget, and how you plan to use it. Here is a quick comparison:

Fingerprint Smart Locks are the fastest and most convenient option. You simply place your finger on the sensor and the door unlocks in under a second. They are ideal for families because each household member can register their fingerprint. However, fingerprint sensors can occasionally struggle with wet or dusty hands , a real consideration in Ghana’s tropical climate. For neighbourhood-specific security recommendations, see our guide: From Makola to Airport Hills: Affordable Smart Home Security for Every Ghanaian Neighbourhood.

Keypad Smart Locks are the most versatile and budget-friendly option. You create a 4–8 digit PIN code to unlock the door. The biggest advantage is that you can easily share temporary codes with guests, house help, or Airbnb visitors and delete them later. No physical key or enrolled fingerprint needed.

RFID Card Smart Locks work like hotel room keys. You tap a card or fob against the sensor. They are popular in offices and rental properties where you want to issue and revoke access cards without changing codes.

Most smart door locks available at Smart Home Ghana combine all three methods , plus app control and a mechanical key backup , so you do not have to choose just one. The Tuya Smart Fingerprint Door Lock with Keypad is a great example of this all-in-one approach.

Do Smart Door Locks Work During Power Cuts in Ghana?

Yes , and this is one of the biggest concerns for homeowners in Accra. Smart door locks from Smart Home Ghana run on batteries (typically 4x AA), not mains electricity. This means they continue working perfectly during dumsor or ECG power interruptions.

The locks send low-battery notifications to your phone weeks before they run out, giving you plenty of time to replace the batteries. Most locks also include an emergency USB port that lets you power the lock temporarily with a power bank if the batteries die unexpectedly. And every lock includes a mechanical key override as a final backup.

If you are concerned about keeping your entire smart home running during outages, read our guide on how to keep your smart home working when ECG goes AWOL.

Installation and Warranty

Smart Home Ghana provides professional installation for all smart door locks purchased through the company. A trained technician will assess your door type (wood, metal, or glass), confirm compatibility, and install the lock , typically in under 2 hours. Installation is available across Greater Accra, including Madina, East Legon, Tema, Spintex, and surrounding areas. Planning a full smart home setup?

All smart locks come with a manufacturer warranty covering defects. Smart Home Ghana also provides after-sales support, so if you need help with app setup, troubleshooting, or adding new fingerprints, the team is just a phone call or WhatsApp message away.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tuya Smart Locks in Ghana

How much does a Tuya smart lock cost in Ghana?

Tuya smart locks in Ghana range from ₵350 for basic keypad models to ₵2,500 for premium 3D face recognition locks. Mid-range fingerprint smart locks with app control typically cost between ₵800 and ₵1,400. All prices include the lock unit — installation is available separately through SmartHome Ghana.

Does a Tuya smart lock work without WiFi?

Yes. Every Tuya smart lock supports offline access methods such as fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card, or mechanical key. You only need WiFi for remote features like unlocking from your phone when you are away from home, receiving real-time entry notifications, or checking the access log. If your internet goes down or ECG cuts power to your router, you can still unlock the door normally. For help setting up the best WiFi for smart devices, read our Internet Connectivity for Smart Homes in Ghana guide.

Can I install a Tuya smart lock on my existing door in Ghana?

Most Tuya smart locks fit standard door thicknesses between 35 mm and 70 mm, which covers nearly all residential doors in Ghana. Before purchasing, measure your door thickness and the distance between the handle and the edge of the door. SmartHome Ghana offers a free compatibility check — send a photo of your current lock and door measurements via WhatsApp and the team will recommend the best fit.

Which app do I use to control a Tuya smart lock?

Tuya smart locks work with the Tuya Smart app or the Smart Life app, both free on iOS and Android. These apps let you add and manage multiple users, set temporary PINs for visitors, view the unlock history, and receive push notifications whenever someone enters. You can also create automation routines — for example, turning on your hallway lights automatically when the front door unlocks at night.

Are Tuya smart locks safe and secure?

Tuya smart locks use AES-128 encryption for Bluetooth and WiFi communication, and biometric data (fingerprints, face scans) is stored locally on the lock — not in the cloud. High-end models like the 3D Face Recognition Tuya Smart Lock use infrared depth sensing that cannot be fooled by photos. All locks also include a hidden mechanical keyhole as a fail-safe backup.
