Amazon’s early Labor Day 2026 sale is going strong, and smart home upgrades are getting some real price cuts. One among them is the Philips Wi-Fi Smart Lock with Handle, which is down to $149.97 (originally $229.99)—its lowest price so far, according to price trackers. That drop makes it a more approachable way to switch from a traditional lock to something smarter without committing to a full security system. It’s also a complete set with handles included, so you’re not mixing and matching parts or dealing with awkward installs that don’t look right on your door.
This lock focuses on flexibility in how you get in and out. You can unlock it with your fingerprint, a PIN, the Philips app, or even voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant. Fingerprint unlock is fast—around 0.3 seconds, according to the manufacturer. The app adds another layer of control. You can lock or unlock your door remotely, check access history, and create temporary or one-time PINs for guests, deliveries, or house help. That comes in handy if you don’t want to hand out permanent access. The auto-lock feature also helps cover those moments when you forget to lock the door, with a timer you can set between 30 and 180 seconds.
There are a few things to keep in mind—the wifi features depend on the included gateway, so you’ll need to set that up for remote access and voice control. Installation is straightforward for most standard doors, but you may need to drill if your door isn’t a perfect fit. And this is still a smart lock, so battery management and occasional maintenance are part of the experience.

Early Labor Day sales have already started. More retailers are likely to start their own sales leading up to the holiday on Monday, Sept. 7.
Labor Day has traditionally been a good time to find deals in many categories, but whether they're worth it or not depends entirely on what you're looking for. Compared to sales like Black Friday or Prime Day, Labor Day falls short on volume and quality of discounts, but you might still find a good price on tech or kitchen appliances that will match those holiday prices—or even beat them. (We use price tracking tools to let you know if a deal is worth it or not.)
So far, Home Depot, Amazon, and Wayfair have started their early Labor Day sales. Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are likely to follow. (Lifehacker will be rounding up deals for all of these sales.)
