Our verdict
igloohome suits homeowners and renters who want keyless entry without a monitoring contract, since a smart lock costs $82.99 and the app comes with free app with Bluetooth keys and activity logs. Buyers who need a battery padlock on a single door will find little here to argue with, though the range is narrow.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A single $82.99 purchase covers the hardware, and free app with Bluetooth keys and activity logs sits in the app at no extra cost.
- Installation is required but the diy model keeps it in your own hands, so no fitter has to be booked.
- Power comes from a battery under battery, so there is no cable run to the door.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and a help centre is close to standard in this category at 95%, so the phone line is the part that stands out.
Cons
- Product types cover smart lock only, so there is no camera, sensor or alarm to bolt onto a system.
- Installation is required, which rules out a drop-in swap for anyone who cannot fit hardware themselves.
- The entry cost sits above The Home Security Superstore at $13.95 and GHome Smart at $23.99.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat or community forum listed.
Who it suits
- Renters and homeowners securing a single door who would rather share Bluetooth keys than hand over a physical key.
- Buyers who prefer to fit hardware themselves, since the diy model leaves the fitting with you.
- People who want a smart lock and nothing else, given smart lock is the only type on offer.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for a camera setup: Aqara sells in the camera category at £36.98 while igloohome lists smart lock only.
- Not for the smallest upfront spend: The Home Security Superstore lists $13.95.
- Not for a tight budget: GHome Smart lists $23.99, below igloohome's $82.99.
What it does well
igloohome builds a single category of hardware: smart lock. What you judge here is a device rather than a system, so the range tells you nothing about cameras, sensors or alarms. Installation is required on these locks, which makes the fit part of the buying decision. Measure the door before ordering, because the hardware is the whole offer and the setup is on you.
Who runs it
The company behind the locks is igloocompany Pte Ltd, headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2015. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which covers the routes a stuck padlock is most likely to need, with a phone line for the problems a help centre cannot answer. Buyers outside Singapore should confirm shipping terms for their own market before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an igloohome smart lock cost?+
The listed price is $82.99 for the lock itself, and nothing in the range sits behind a plan name. That figure is the whole entry cost for the hardware rather than an opening rate that renews later, and free app with Bluetooth keys and activity logs come with it at no extra charge.
Is there a renewal price on igloohome locks?+
Nothing in the igloohome range is sold on a plan, so there is no renewal price to weigh at $82.99. The comparison that matters is hardware against hardware: The Home Security Superstore lists $13.95 and GHome Smart lists $23.99, so a buyer shopping purely on upfront cost has cheaper picks in the same set.
What do I get beyond the lock itself?+
free app with Bluetooth keys and activity logs come with the hardware at no extra cost, which covers the everyday case: sharing entry without handing over a physical key, and checking who came through the door afterwards. The model is diy, so the fitting is left to the buyer.
Do I need to install the lock myself?+
Installation is required, and the diy model means no installer is booked on your behalf. That suits a buyer who is comfortable fitting a padlock to an existing door, and rules out anyone who wants a drop-in swap in a rented property without asking first.
How is the lock powered?+
Power is listed as battery, so there is no cable run to the door. That is the practical draw for renters, sheds and side doors. The trade is a battery to keep an eye on rather than a fixed supply, so a busy front door deserves an early test.
What is the returns position?+
There is a 30 days money back window, long enough to confirm the lock fits the door and pairs with the phone app. With installation being required, that window matters: a padlock that mounts badly shows up early, and the return period gives room to send it back.
How do I get help if the lock fails?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which covers email, phone and a help centre. A help centre is close to standard in this category, at 95%, so the phone line is the part that carries a lock problem rather than a setup question.
Which market does igloohome ship to?+
The company is igloocompany Pte Ltd, headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2015, and the store that lists $82.99 in dollars is set up for the US. Buyers in other markets should check shipping terms for their own country, since the company base sits outside Europe and the UK.
