Lockly's base model fingerprint lock is fingerprint + keycode, and Bluetooth is actually optional, you can set it all up on the device w/o a phone. IMHO they don't advertise this enough, and they really try to upsell you to the Wi-Fi models.

They don't advertise this, super cool.

Oh and it uses a standard Schlage cylinder so you can get all your doors keyed the same, or swap it out with a high security cylinder if you so desire. (Lockpicking Lawyer even said not bad things about it!)

Fingerprint is a seriously cool. Except it doesn't work if your finger is wet, at which point you are back to just using a code.

Now, all that said, there are times I really wish I had the Wi-Fi model, knowing on my phone that, for example, the animal sitter has stopped by and fed the pets, is super useful.

But not having the Wi-Fi model is a trade off I have made in return for the security of not having another wireless entry point into my home network.

This thread got me researching locks and I think the Lockly is promising. With the current models you can buy the WiFi module for $80. The Pro model costs $50 more than the base one and includes the module but you should be able to add just the WiFi since the locks themselves are the same.

This may not be true for older models that may exist, so I would verify.
