Hey guys! So there are a lot of different smart locks on the market today, but when
it comes to home security and security of your family you definitely don't want
to skimp out on some cheap smart lock. Recently, Lockly reached out to me and
asked me to check out their Secure Pro deadbolt edition. After doing my own
research and doing my own testing of it I gotta say this is one of the coolest
most advanced Smart locks on the market today! Let's check it out!
Before we get started, I want to thank the folks over at Lockly for sending this out to me for
full honest review. That's not gonna sway my way my opinion in one way or another if
I like something I'm definitely gonna let you know. I'll also leave a link down
below to my full pros and cons list on my website so definitely check that out.
Now if your HomeKit user, unfortunately, this lock does not have homekit. Lochley
does mention that it will be coming in the near future but they've been saying
that for over a year now I know a lot of companies mention it and they never do,
but stick around to the end and find out if I'm gonna be keeping this in my HomeKit home.
Most smart locks out there these days are very similar they all
have very similar features with a keypad, an app that you can open up the lock with.
Some even have a fingerprint reader and others even work with Lady A and Mr. G
Well, Lockly has a lot of same concepts of other smart locks, but they really thought
outside the box here, so much so they actually won an Innovation Award back
at CES 2019. All there locks are full installs. This is not a retrofit lock so
you will be changing the lock and the key on both sides. It take you about
15-20 minutes to the install depending on your skill level plus additional ten
to 15 minutes in the app setting up settings and fingerprints and that type
of stuff but the real reason you're here is wanting to know if this thing is
worth it what kind of issues what kind of features it has so let's go ahead and
check out Lockly. Lockly has a bunch of different colors, models, and editions.
They sent me the silver nickel secure Pro deadbolt edition. Which is the top
of the line with the Wi-Fi hub in door sensor. They also have
a latch edition if don't need a deadbolt You can definitely check that out and if
you don't want to spend as much money you can go for the secure plus which
gets rid of the Wi-Fi hub and door sensor. If you want to spend even less
money you can get the secure model which gets rid of the fingerprint reader. It
just has the keypad. All Lockly models can connect to your phone via bluetooth.
The downside is that it is bluetooth. Bluetooth has limited range. All models also have genie
technology which is one of the best features I'll talk more about that in a
minute and then also all of them have a old fashioned key so worse comes to
worse you can always use the key. Lockly also recently announced pre-orders of
the Lockly Vision which is the exact same lock they have now but they added a
smart camera into it so no longer do you need a doorbell and a smart lock and
just put this on your door and you get two birds with one stone this thing
looks awesome I can't wait to try it out But for now let's go back to the current
lock so I can point out all the great features that make this special over any
other smart lock out there on the market today. First feature is the PIN Genie
technology. If you've never seen this before this thing is genius.
what does is when you activate the screen it put three numbers into each
circle randomly. You're putting your code in every single time that you do put in
your code it's gonna be in a different order that way your fingerprints are all
across the numbers. Your oil from your finger is all across it so over time the
wear and tear is going to be pretty identical in all the areas and no one
can just guess randomly There's also additional settings for even more
randomness if that's a word. Each time that you press a button those digits
gonna move so even if someone is watching you it's just gonna make it ten
times harder for them to try to figure out what code you're actually entering
Now if you get the secure plus or pro models, you'll also have a fingerprint scanner on
the right hand side which is by far is my favorite feature of this entire lock.
It's not a normal finger printer scanner where you can lift off
fingerprints and someone can easily hack it . The company calls it a 3D fingerprint
scanner which makes it a lot harder where you can't lift off fingerprints
The fingerprint scanner is on the right side of the lock so if you're
left-handed or if the lock is on the right side of the door you'll have a
little bit more issues trying to get to that sensor. Which is not a huge deal but
it might be an inconvenience for some people. If you get to secure pro model, which
is the one that I have. You're getting even more features with the Wi-Fi hub
and door sensor which will allow you to operate the lock remotely via the app
and it'll also know if the lock is locked or if the doors open or shut via
the door sensor. The Wi-Fi hub will also allow you to work the lock with Lady A.
or Mr. G. {Eric talking to Alexa} Unlock the front door. {ALEXA} What's your voice code for front door?
{Alexa} Unlocking hang on.
{ALEXA} The front door is unlocked {Eric} Locked the front door.
But not to worry, you don't have to have the Wi-Fi hub if you don't want to you can use the entire
lock of via bluetooth. You can set up access code for trusted users, guest, you
can have a bunch of different settings with one-time code specific codes for
specific times and even for bed and baths where you can assign the code remotely
with Lockly's offline algorithm which allows you to set a code without being
connected to the lock of your Bluetooth which is totally awesome for anyone who
owns a bed and bath now Wayne came to some other settings within the app I did
find it weird that there was no auto unlock feature whatsoever I've seen in
other locks where you walk up and connects via bluetooth
you know automatically unlock now when it came to all that lock there was a
couple of settings but you do have to have the Wi-Fi hub & indoor sensor to have
those settings work also notice in the app there is a log for the admin to see
who's accessed the lock but there is no log or notification of any failed attempt to
gain entry there's also no notification of the lock being lock or unlock there
is notification of the door opening and closed with the door sensor but it still
would be nice if there's a setting to know if the lock is unlocked manually
there is a physical button on the lock that will lock out the keypad which is
a really nice feature now this will only lock out the keypad temporarily so if
you don't want the cleaning lady walking you on the inappropriate time you can
lock out that keypad but does not lock out any fingerprint user. So I've been
using this lock now for a couple months now I got to tell you this thing is
awesome I wasn't planning on keeping this because it doesn't have homekit
that's the only limitation here hopefully that will be coming soon but
even if it doesn't I'm keeping this for myself and I actually wasn't planning on
it because my personal home is based off of home kit if it doesn't have home key
I'm actually giving away things for friends and families but this thing is
such a great lock it's so easy to use you can get
and super fast but it's also highly secure that is why I'm keeping this for
myself even though it does not have home kids if you guys want to see the next
