Short answer: Do not buy from the fingerprint label alone. The eufy Smart Lock C220 listing calls out fingerprint and keyless entry, but fit depends on your deadbolt, door thickness, backset, power and installation conditions. Use the C220/T8506 lock instructions, not the Indoor Cam C220 manual. eufy says the physical key cannot be rekeyed and USB-C is emergency power; check both your door geometry and key arrangement before ordering.

This guide uses the verified US offer snapshot for eufy Security Smart Lock C220. Prices and stock can change. It is based on published information, not hands-on or laboratory testing.

Measure the existing hardware

Record the deadbolt type, door thickness, backset and the space around the interior thumb turn. A smart-lock retrofit is only useful if the hardware and door geometry match the installation guide.

What the listing supports

The C220 listing calls out fingerprint and keyless entry. That establishes the access modes named by the offer; it does not confirm compatibility with every door or every offline-use case.

Plan power and fallback access

Check battery access, low-battery alerts, physical keys or another fallback method, and the account or app requirements. A lock changes the entry routine, so installation and recovery matter as much as the unlock method.

C220 is a lock model, not the similarly named camera

Use the T8506 lock guide, not Indoor Cam C220 instructions. eufy’s lock specification says the physical key cannot be rekeyed and the USB-C port provides emergency power. Door geometry and an existing keyed system therefore need separate checks.
