I absolutely love this lock. It is by far the best one I have owned. I have previously used Yale and Built locks, but the Wyze Palm Lock’s palm recognition technology is in a different league. It is fast, reliable, and I have not had a single false read yet. Setup was simple, and the overall build feels solid and secure.
The only small challenge is that it can occasionally struggle to recognize younger kids’ palms, but the backup access codes work perfectly for them. Overall, this lock has been outstanding, convenient, accurate, and worth every penny.
This lock has a total of 6 ways it can allow you to unlock. The palm lock/unlock feature is game changer. I wish it allowed to setup multiple temporary 4 digit codes.
Pros: Easy to install. Good battery life. Only locks when door is fully shut (no premature locking). Alarm to let you know if door left open. Easy to add guest codes. Can lock and unlock remotely.
Cons: It can take a few tries to add a new palm. It goes offline on occasion, therefore, cannot access lock from app.
I had a Wyze lock with fingerprint sensor and keyboard. The fingerprint sensor failed so often that I gave up using it. I replaced that lock with the palm sensor. It is great. I did have one occasion when the wouldn't unlock for my palm but every other entrance was flawless. I especially like the rechargeable battery. The addition of a backup physical lock is a waste of space. I changed out all of my exterior locks to keyless entry. I don't carry any house keys and don't want to.
