[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a smart lock I didn’t have to think about. No headaches, HomeKit enabled, and I can make sure it’s locked from anywhere. This checks every single box and it does so perfectly. I would recommend to anyone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It came with the house I bought, and wasn't sure about how to use it until a friend visited me and said that I had one of the best deadbolts. I do Airbnb and Initially, I was using a key, and the deadbolt without wifi, after my friend tellling me about the model, I googled it and learned more, downloaded the app, and now I have full control of who enters my home and when. I love every feature in this deadbolt.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We now have 7 encode devices, and recently had a warranty issue and it was replaced free of charge in less than a week!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pushed into changing my normal deadbolt to this product as the wife hated bringing keys. I thought itcwouldnt be as safe as a normal one. The locksmith had high praise for it and locking and unlocking is so easy now. A couple of negatives, we had to find instructions on how to add codes on the internet. Those should have been in the instructions included. Also when we set it up on apps the codes we had previously plugged in were no longer working. That admittedly could have been user error though. Bottom line love them so far!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the lock. It’s nice that there is a digital keypad that doesn’t show fingerprints and a deadbolt that provides security. It’s also super convenient to have a phone app because I can make sure the door is locked even when I’m not around it. I often leave the house and can’t remember if I locked the door so that gives me peace of mind.
My only suggestion for improvement though is that the app is so slow. I need to think about unlocking the door a minute before I even get to the door. I would love to not even have to open the application on my phone and just bring my phone close to the door in order for it to unlock. Maybe it could be installed in the Apple wallet or something for extra security.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 of these and they work great. Remote unlock and locking and set a timer to lock on their own in case you forget. Awesome feature if you have young kids.
