unlock my door please hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the
all-new level lock this is a smart lock that works inside your existing door
lock so maybe you have a nice lock on your front door and you don't want to
change it you can actually hide it within the front door lock as long as
you have one that's compatible and this comes in at two hundred and twenty nine
dollars and is compatible with apple's homekit so you can use Siri to unlock
your door for example and I've worked with level lock to sponsor this video so
I could show you more about this in depth so let's go ahead and take a look
at what's inside the box now we'll slide the box outside of the packaging and
take the top off of the box so we'll slide this out here set it aside and we
have some paperwork or literature and it looks like it's a QuickStart guide and
just show you how to install it and activate it and then this is the parts
list that comes in the box now inside the box this is the main mechanism this
actually houses the motors and everything that drives level locks so
this will open and close your door and then here is the lock itself so this
part actually is the part that keeps your house secure and of course slides
out like that now inside of this is where you change the battery out so
instead of having to disassemble your door every time you just unscrew the end
and your battery goes in here so it's a really nice setup I think that's a smart
idea and then this just slides on to level
lock and locks in place and then once you activate it it will slide out then
you've got your wall plate you've got some screws and then we also have a
little battery here and you can see it's a cr2 battery so we'll put that away and
then these are adapters for the different type of lock that you have
they simply slide into the level lock so that you can adjust it for whatever type
of door lock you have and that allows it to actuate the mechanism so this is my
current door lock and what we need to do is disassemble it so that we can put the
new level lock inside of it it won't look any different when it's
done
now you saw me already set up the level lock app so we'll go into the app and
it's pretty simple and straightforward my lock is listed here I press and hold
and it says unlocking it comes back and lets me know that it's unlocked and then
press and hold and it locks again it's locked so it's pretty simple and
straightforward we can also add some contacts so if we want to add people to
use the lock we can do that right from here and then we just have some other
settings as well about our password username things like that now the nice
thing is you don't have to use the level app you can use homekit since it's built
into that so if I go to home that's why I don't have it on my home screen I use
the home app so here I have the lock I press it and it will unlock takes a
second and communicates back now even though it's not responding that quickly
here it's actually unlocking much faster when you're next to it so you'll see it
says living room door unlocked press it again and it locks and then you can set
up automations to lock automatically at night and things like that using
automation in the home app so if you want to create a new automation say when
people leave for example anyone leaves will go next and it says what do you
want to do when you arrive home when you leave home you can set it up to test the
automation to actually when you leave the house have it actually lock for you
and then also you can share your home kit with family members as well so I
have this shared with my family they can just unlock and lock it from here and
you can also use Siri to do the same thing so all you need to do is ask Siri
to unlock your door or lock your door and it will lock and so let's try that
unlock my door please
no I will say that serious sometimes slow with this so it just depends what's
going on and you'll see that took a while but I'm kind of remote right now
let's lock it lock my front door please
so you have to say exactly what you mean block my door please so you'll see it's
locked now one nice thing is is it gives you notifications when you lock and
unlock the door so if I lock the door here it will pop up on my display and
say your door is locked if i unlock it it will do the same thing so it's really
simple and straightforward and very convenient the nice thing is you can
still use your keys to unlock and lock your door if you don't want to use the
smart lock features or maybe there's someone that prefers to do it that way
you can still use it the same way and then use the smart lock if that's your
preferred way now level lock works with not only home kit but also works with
Android as well and it's good for 1 million cycles according to level lock
so it will move the cylinder in and out about a million times before it's rated
to fail if it fails and so you can still use your key of course you can turn the
lock to lock and unlock it and it should last no problem so just depending on how
often you use it and then that battery should last up to a year depending on
how often you use it as well so you can replace the battery is often it's 3
months if you're constantly cycling it but if you're using it regularly
probably about a year and so my only complaint about level lock is sometimes
it's a little bit slow especially if you use Siri and home kit is not perfect so
of course I could always use the normal app but in general it's a pretty great
simple solution to keeping your house looking stock or normal with a nice lock
that you already have and that's really it so let me know if you have any
questions about level lock in the comments below and if you haven't
