Smart door prices start at $4,000 and go up to around $7,000.

It was first presented at CES 2022 and was highly anticipated by lovers of smart devices.

The smart door has all the smart features people love about the front door, separate but integrated into one.

You can control your smart door directly from your phone via smart apps.

Everything runs on your home electricity, so you don’t have to worry about charging every single device.

Best features include:

• Motion activated lighting
• Sensor for open or closed door
• Yale smart door lock
• Ring’s built-in video doorbell
• Made from fiberglass
• emergency backup battery

WHAT’S THE CATCH?

The only catch with the smart door is that even after the hefty price tag of $4,000 or more, you still have to pay for the installation.

Due to the variety of electronics that need to be connected, you will need someone to install your door.

The price of installing the door will add a few hundred dollars to you.

You also need to download all the apps for each smart device to be able to control it from the door.

Also, spending your money on the first smart door can be risky as they might come out pretty quickly with more technology and have an updated version before you can fully use it.

REVIEWS

The Masonite M-PWR Smart Door has a five out of five star rating on the Home Depot website.

People are very impressed with the smart door and have a lot of good things to say about it in the reviews.

One review said: “All the bells and whistles. The digital lock feature is very handy, not only for everyday use, but also when my father-in-law was away while we were out of town. No need to hide a key.

“The glass also lets in plenty of light for our houseplants while providing privacy.”

Another review said: “Packed with features. The door exceeded expectations. The lights in the post are a fantastic improvement on the standard motion-activated lighting.

“The features of the app-controlled bar help tremendously when welcoming guests from a distance, and the ring camera offers a wide-angle view that’s scrollable and excellent image quality.”
