What owners single out
In their words
“After careful research I selected this as our new front door lock. From the start it was a quality experience. It was like unboxing a new Apple product. The packaging all spoke “care, and class”. The lock units are exceptionally well constructed. The provision of the wifi hub, and two battery packs is a very thoughtful and complete touch.”
Marko WA · verified purchase · lockly.com
“This product has just about everything you could want in an electronic door lock. They really thought of everything. I love the random number keypad and how I can give a temporary pass code to workers needing access to my house when I'm not home then it deletes after a specific time. I like that I can remotely lock or unlock from the app on my phone and talk to people at my door.”
