Create an added layer of safety for your home with the Friday smart lock. This retrofit lock system works with your Wi-Fi network and smartphone to lock and unlock your door without the need for a physical key. A rechargeable battery keeps the lock powered up, and the iOS and Android compatibility makes the Friday smart lock easy to connect to your phone.

For a first generation lock this thing is great. I’m enjoying the idea of not having to use keys…makes it easy and convenient. This thing is way better looking than the other smart locks…my wife even approves of it! A couple of things to keep in mind when reading my review:
• I’m using an iPhone and have the lock connected via HomeKit.
• My door locked and unlocked perfectly fine with my traditional thumb turn manual deadbolt – no sticking locks or anything – I say this because some people complain that smart locks won’t work in sticky locks…mine is aligned and works
• I use the Apple Home app to lock and unlock – faster than the Friday app and also gives me access to Siri and other smart accessories in my house.
• I have a Schlage deadbolt
• I’m using an iPhone and have the lock connected via HomeKit.
• My door locked and unlocked perfectly fine with my traditional thumb turn manual deadbolt – no sticking locks or anything – I say this because some people complain that smart locks won’t work in sticky locks…mine is aligned and works
• I use the Apple Home app to lock and unlock – faster than the Friday app and also gives me access to Siri and other smart accessories in my house.
• I have a Schlage deadbolt
The install was rather simple. I charged the battery for a few hours before attempting the install. Then proceeded to follow the instructions which were easy to understand. I used the base plate extension on my door as the bar that turns my lock was too long and I didn’t want to cut it (the install manual showed how to modify the bar, but I chose the extension plate instead). The extension piece looks good, so I think I’ll keep it like this. I used the same screws that were in my Schlage deadbolt and things worked smoothly.
I downloaded the app and begin to set it up. I have HomeKit accessories in my home so I decided to install it through the Apple Home app. Worked great. Just needed to open the Friday app to calibrate the app and set up an account.
I have it set up in Home in my “Leave Home” and “Arrive Home” scenes. Works well – a few times it has taken longer than expected to connect…but I’m not sure that is Friday or Home as I find that is the case with other accessories in my HomeKit family too.

I would recommend this to a friend!
