I had reservations being that I didn’t hear about this brand much. But to the point, this lock was simple to install. Easy to set up the smart features. And has excellent smart features that are actually useful. The fingerprint sensor hides on the side, I love this. And it captures my finger every time. That’s probably the best part aside from the smart features. It seems to be built well. Handle turns nice. I’ve had it for a few weeks now. I have literally nothing bad to say about it.
Great lock, allows for multiple quick access fingerprint entry, along with a unique combination code system. Also has a backup key entry in case the batteries die. We also have the lock set up with Wi-Fi which sends notifications to your phone to allow you to know when your door is open, and who opened the door when entering. Could be improved, but definitely a high quality smart lock system
We bought the lock to replace an old one. This one is great. I love the numbers change every time so after years of use it won’t show extra wear of the numbers used. Love that the lock automatically locks after it is opened. Also love unlocking the door from my chair from my phone.
We bought a Secure Plus when it first came out with the WiFi option. It was pretty good, but the children had issues with the finger sensor. The door sensor was a bit bulky and requires a AAA battery to be changed out occasionally. The front panel went out about three years in. I bought a new Secure Plus, and i have to say it has better functionality. The fingerprint reader has drastically improved and has been tested using children's fingerprints. The bolt mechanism is quieter and faster, possibly using less battery draw. A new door sensor connects directly to the base, doesn't require a battery, and blends in well with the door. The installation was easy. The app detected the new Lockly and connected to the WiFi and sensor without an issue. The firmware update was still a bit slow, but it went smoothly. Of course, I couldn't transfer my fingerprints, but re-adding them was simple and seemed easier than before. Overall, this was a good investment, and I am looking forward to years of use. I suggest this product over the competition as it has been quite stable and never stopped working.
