Lockly Secure Pro Smart Lock Review

[@rcoffey2478]

Great in-depth review. The lock has a lot of great features, I will definitely consider this as one of the smart locks to purchase.

[@andrewenglish3810]

Your right it should tell you when someone enters, and like you said when someone is trying to hack in. :)

[@Twelvegoldteeth]

This is why I like this channel. No stone goes unturned. As for the review, I also shared many of your gripes upon first use. Though, for my personal applicable use, it works as it should perfectly and my gripes do not outweigh the functionality and usefulness of the lock as a whole. Anyway, great review as expected!

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you. It is a good quality lock... just the notifications is a bit lacking...comparing with other locks...

[@edwardgreenjr167]

Thanks for the in-depth review. I do like some of the features of this device. *However,* any smart lock that replaces a deadbolt *and* has a physical key option should mention if the locking mechanism can be upgraded/replaced. I bring this up because that is not always the case or easily done without substantial cost. The physical key-way can be the weakest link in the security chain of any home. I learned this the hard way when I saw how easy it is to pick a kiwiset lock, for example. This can be an issue if you need to have a locksmith re-key a lock, as well. It's easy to see how any electronic features can be moot if the physical key is compromised. If convenience is more of a priority than security, then this is a non-issue. But for this reason I have been looking at smart locks that only replace the latch mechanism side, and not the deadbolt itself. From first looks at this smart-lock, it appears the deadbolt cylinder can be swapped out. But I think this should be an addition to your "review punch-list" going forward. Otherwise great work as always.

[@LifeHackster]

True. There are no mention of that in their user manual. There are warnings of voiding the warranty if you try to disassemble the lock...I might look at it and see.

[@johnabbott8150]

Watch the video from Silver Eagle Locksmith. He shows how to replace the standard key cylinder with a higher security one. Its easy to do. By the way, the standard cylinder with this lock has 6 pins vs 5 pins on most lower security deadbolts, making the standard cylinder more secure than most out of the box.

Great review!! Love this lock. One issue is a price, but that’s premium for invention and quality. Thumbs up as usual!!

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks 👍

[@bettinac.2866]

O yes! I purchased my lock through their website and I got a $20 discount! = )

After watching this amazing video, it gives me confidence that I can install this smart door lock.

[@saifklichbek8239]

You pretty sure can, this video helped me a lot, didn’t read the manual 🤪

[@rafsoto24]

Home Depot has this for $300 at $80 so I bought one today. I’ll be installing later in June when I move into my house finally!

Best review online. Thanks for being so detailed and succinct.

[@tysacura1323]

I love your reviews. Keep up the good work.

[@dannymcneal]

I already use a Wyze contact sensor set on my door...I really don’t want to add another set. While I’m not a fan of the minimalist look of the Wyze Lock-it just looks too industrial-I am still considering it. I believe the lock on the front door should project more of a welcoming statement instead of housing prisoners 😜. I do love the look of the Lockly, but that price!! Another great video!!

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you.

[@harveysmith6700]

I really recommend this product, it's features are sharp and easy with no possible way a thief could enter your house. Probably just needed some developments with power source stability but all in all, it is an excellent product!

[@dannymcneal]

After two failed attempts to connect the Eufy Smart Lock with WiFi to my 2.4GHz network, I have returned them. I am very sad about that, as it would have incorporated nicely with my Eufy smart home. Now considering this Lockly unit. A few quick questions (before I order it): 1a - Does it really come with only two keys? 1b - Are they traditional keys that I can have duplicates made from? 2 - In the video you said that this unit cannot be scheduled to lock at a certain time of day. On the Lockly website it says it has an “Auto Lock” feature: “Set timers in advance to have your door lock automatically when you need it to.” Is this a schedule or a countdown timer, like, lock the door in 5 hours? But I know I can set a schedule in the Alexa app. Thank you again for another great video!

[@domaze]

very detail reviews . thank you ! getting one after this epidemic.

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@thumbsup9208]

Awesome review. Very complete. Thank you

[@randolphdomingo5056]

Which is better? Schlage encode or Lockly secure pro?

[@ormoya]

LifeHackster, I have a metal door. Is that going to be a problem to install this lock? I'm asking because i saw 2 little screws were needed to install metal plate. thanks

[@HeartCoffeeTime]

Do you have to enter the code to lock it? Is there a quick lock (not auto lock) feature?

[@mzluk]

Does this work on a security steel door?

[@cusebike5391]

Any lock needs to be tested by LPL (Lock Picking Lawyer). If the lock passes his tests, that's the lock to buy. He'll defeat any lock. It's just a matter of level of difficulty.

[@inhawaii4941]

Ask him to test this lock

[@LifeHackster]

That will be a good one for him to try... remember though that for me, I always have a back up... I know via security cameras, if somebody is going to my front door..so he needs to defeat this lock in a matter of seconds before I am able to call the cops or get my 12 gauge out :)

[@inhawaii4941]

@@LifeHackster don't shoot LPL he's a friendly guy

[@mooko85]

If someone really wants to get in your home, they'll break a window or just kick your door in. Locks only keep out the honest

[@boodesultan12]

He tested it not too long ago He said "it's decent" that's a pass to me and a wishlist if I ever want security lock in future

[@ladymajesty200412]

If I give my passcode to someone, can they enter it and get in? Or will only my finger print work even when entering the passcode?

[@leedaq7767]

the keypad changes each time you press? can you change the shuffle for each lock or unlock?

[@sergiopabon1387]

The answer is. If the code is random by every keypress. Then the number of possible combinations would be too many to guess.

[@LifeHackster]

Somebody did... check out the pinned comment and you will see that it was an easy guess :)

[@eliapple1224]

I just got this S7 model and it's awesome

[@MrNoitom]

I know you discussed that this can be locked/unlocked via wifi/bluetooth with the app. So if I was out of town, can I still lock/unlock it with the app?

[@waynev1528]

Is it possible for them to add more notifications in regarding attempts, entries, scheduling etc with firmware updates?

[@WeirdFlex]

this one vs the eufy with wifi...which would you pick?

[@macariacarroll5936]

just to clarify...do you need the wifi hub and sensor for this lock to operate? I want to order the Secure Plus from Amazon and I don't think it comes with either (according to the "Included in Package" description.

Does this lock have user proximity auto-unlock/locking capabilities? AKA when I come home does it auto unlock because of the app on my phone?

Not with the LOCKLY..the wyze lock has that feature.

August also has the auto unlock feature. I think I'll go with August because of that feature.

Your locksmith should be able to rekey it to match your other current locks.

@LifeHackster I have the same Ring chime when the door is open. My dog ran to the front door barking when she heard the chime in the video 😂. Great review, though. I think this might be my choice for a front door lock.

[@abc123fhdi]

Your door is backwards, the outside part should be on the inside and the door should open inward so the deadbolt isn't exposed on the outside. Also your hinges would be on the outside also so they could be disassembled by an intruder.

Wish you review Lockly with a camera soon

[@spikeyboy]

So I just purchased this for my front door, I was just curious if anyone has it as well but lives in a cold climate? I live in MN which snows and can get cold depending on the year, I found online it's good for -4 degree only so I'm kinda nervous now since MN has gotten to -10 or colder. Or if you know if this product works well in way colder temps. Also just realized my door sensor looks completely different than yours do you know if they changed it? My sensor has one piece coming out from the lock itself, its a wired sensor instead of being wireless

[@nonapplicable9590]

I live in OH , I feel comfortable about the key option but I was thinking bc it’s attached to the door maybe it will be warmer than the outside ambient air, how did it end up working out for you ? I saw they sell it in lowes near me so I’m assuming it will be good to go

[@spikeyboy]

@@nonapplicable9590 works perfectly fine for me, I actually have three of these for my house and have not had any issues at all. Probably best investment ever, I never carry a key anymore and always use the fingerprint. Battery life lasted me roughly 10 months for my front door since it's high traffic. I think its rated for 1year but it's still good enough for me

[@LifeHackster]

Thank You. Sorry wrong code.

[@pineappleroad]

one of the things which I don't like about most smart locks is the lack of a key override as when the batteries go flat, I wouldn't have a 9V battery on me (and even if I did, how would I know that the 9V battery wasn't faulty or flat), and there aren't any shops that I would be able to get to that sell batteries, so a key override is pretty much essential for me It's a pity that it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to find a smart lock that would be compatible with our door, AND has a key override

[@SWhite-hp5xq]

This one has key override

[@ilox11]

@Pineapple Road, at 3:28 you can see the key override, at 4:15 you can see that it comes with 2 standard house keys. They look like they might be able to be replaced/duplicated by a Locksmith. The hardware has 6 bumps in the chamber, most have only 5 so it is slightly more secure but still vulnerable to an expert Lockpicker.

[@clellbritt3434]

Your Code is: 23146450 Also will this integrate with ST or Hubitat? Maybe I missed it in the video. You could also disable the notifications from the lock and enable (or create routine) in Alexa for the notifications you want. Except maybe the "wrong attempt" notification, unless Alexa records those too. Great video, thanks.

[@LifeHackster]

It will integrate with just Alexa and Google Home at this time. Yes, you can use Alexa routine to connect with the lock or actually just the door sensor.. there are no notifications for the locking and unlocking.. just the door opening and closing. Also, the code is not the right answer. thanks.

[@BlueWorld718]

Is this HomeKit compatible?

[@guyjaxn]

My lock has a wired sensor.. I wish it was wireless.. I had to have a come to Jesus meeting with my kids to stop removing the sensor magnet..
