LocklySecure Plus Bluetooth Smart Door Lock, Keyless Entry with PIN Genie® Digital Keypad, 3D Biometric Fingerprint Sensor Front Door Lock with Handle, Voice Control & Auto Lock - Latch Edition

I purchased the Lockly Secure Pro to replace a failing Kwikset smart lock. The Kwikset was good when it worked but as it aged sometimes you’d hear the unlocking mechanism turning yet it would actually not unlock or nothing would happen at all even after a valid unlock code was entered into the lock.A review of the market showed many options but the Lockly stood out among all the choices.2 weeks later I can tell you I couldn’t be happier with the Lockly lock.Installation was fairly easy. Because the Lockly lock is tall the manufacturer does recommend drilling a hole above the main lockset opening to better secure the lock to the door. This is easy to do if you own a drill, makes the lock more secure to the door and is completely concealed once installation is complete.Once installed in the door you need to setup and configure the lock using a app on your smartphone. The app connects to the lock via Bluetooth and later WiFi and lets you do things like add or remove access codes, fingerprints, review logs and more.The lock itself is very solid, pulling down on the handle to unlatch the door almost feels like a commercial door, strong, not flimsy, giving the feeling of a good solid lock. The finish on my lock is the "Venetian Bronze" and this too looks great, not a cheap paint job but instead a really nice, clean, polished finish.Unlocking the door is easy, tapping on the display activated a series of circles with random numbers in each. I say random because each time you activate the display the numbers come up in a different order. To unlock the door your look for your access code pressing the correct circles then push an icon to unlock the door. This is a nice feature I suppose if your door is in a place where people maybe watching your finger pattern to learn your code, for most of us however nobody is usually around me when I’m unlocking the door so this can and does slow down the opening process a bit. You can press a button each time to cause the numbers to rearrange in order but that’s an extra click which adds to the unlock time.The beauty of the lock however is the fingerprint reader. With the fingerprint reader you just walk up to the lock, place your finger on the reader, wait about a second and you hear the lock mechanism activate and then you activate the lever. This is how I use this lock each and every time. The fingerprint reader works very well and unlocks the lock nearly each time on the first try.A few other useful things worthy of mention here is you can setup codes for family and friends, even one time use codes you may need to give out during an emergency, this is easy to do and works well. If you connect the lock to WiFi yiu can also get instant SMS alerts on your smartphone when someone unlocks the lock (the message will say “Front door unlocked by Susan” and you will also her a message when the door is closed.Bottom line is this is a well made product that includes many smart features. The fingerprint reader really makes it easy to unlock the door. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone looking for a great, high end lock.

Normally don’t bother with reviews but had to make an exception here and let buyers know this is one of the best products I’ve ever purchased in terms of quality, ease of install and functionality. I’m very pleased with the purchase.

Absolutely the best. I've reviewed and tested other door locks, and this is by far the very best. I opted not to go with the wireless one - which I can simply add later if I choose to do so. You may find this an option, too.The first thing you'll notice is the fit and finish quality. The packaging is likely the best I've ever seen, and they make it so literally anyone can install this - it may take others some more time (due to familiarity, tools use, etc.), but truly I believe anyone can do this. Take your time and watch the videos before installing and you'll be good.Of note, they have a 3D app which you follow with on your phone for installation. This app is absolutely beautiful and extremely helpful!As you're installing the Lockset, you'll appreciate the engineering a lot more, and want to thank those who designed this. There is really no way a failure will keep you locked our of your home. Battery life is shown right on the app! I placed new 9V batteries in our cars in the event the batteries do die. You simply hold the 9V to the lock and it will re-power to let you in. Brilliant. There is also a hidden Key slot, or, you can use the "switching Numbers" keypad. I prefer to simply touch the fingerprint reader though, as my hands are usually holding items.SO simple and SO well thought out. I'm very thankful I did my homework choosing this. I truly can't be more pleased.

I was a little worried about the fingerprint sensor working well and having to use the pin every time. But it works very well and is very fast to unlock. The quality of the lock is very good and does not fell cheap. It actually feels very heavy duty. I use this on the door to my detached garage and it make entering and exiting very easy. I no longer have to get the key when I go to the garage. The only thing I was hoping it can do is work with my Kwikset keys as all my other locks are that. However, the grove patten is different. I know it can be rekeyed but it would be nice if the key cylinder could be change to kwikset smart key one. So I can have just one key for all my locks.
