What owners single out
In their words
“My new condo has one of those Mortise locks, and my HOA forbids?changing?the exterior of locks. There are few compatible smart locks that work with Mortise, so I've been looking for a solution for a long time. Luckily I came across this, which is a dream come true. It does not require changing the lock at all, which makes the installation?as easy as?possible, while also making HOA happy.”

“We have original the SwitchBot Smart Lock which worked great with our Jimmy Proof Segal type Lock. (Switchbot is the only company offering a solution for Jimmy Proof Locks). The new improved Lock Pro is superior in almost every aspect compared to the original. Everything feels much more solid and premium. The motor is more powerful and quieter than the original. It also locks faster. Very nice.”
