The Smart Lock for People Who HATE the Look of Smart Locks! - Level Lock Bolt

[@JediMasterFO]

Same thought. There's no bolt in that dead bolt. A thin wall hollow tube is NOT a security member.

[@Salzmann_69]

tbh most deadbolts usually only go in to the frame about an inch with just the striker plate giving any real protection and that only has 2 short bolts holding it and on the door side its only a thin bit of wood holding it with the same micro bolts, not to mention the door frame only has a few tiny nails holding it together and is thin wood, unless you fortify it security is only in your head, a deadbolt is not that much security usually, it may deter someone but if they want in their always gonna go for the window so it doesn't matter

[@JediMasterFO]

@@Salzmann_69 In that configuration, what you said is true, but you can shore up the security a bit more with a thick security strike plate, 3 1/2" security screws into the stud, and a door guard plate that wraps around the handleset. It's still going to fail eventually from kicking, but thieves will pass on the 10 minutes of sweating trying to kick it in and move on to easier kickings. Kick-ins are the most common break-ins anyway.

[@DownLow0099]

That and plenty of houses have glass right in the door or right next to it... Your home is not secure against a human being with the will to get in. Period.

[@mastermold10]

and to anyone who comments 'but the battery' batteries are not exactly known for being particularly durable, in fact there are warnings on the back of most batery packaging to not 'crush or perice' the batery cause you might release the caustic chemicals inside....this implies doing so is rather easy

[@thebroboards]

Exactly a properly fitted lock assembly with the proper strike plate hardware should allow for the deadbolt on the normal handle of the door to be retracted when the door is locked and closed. Since there is no bolt I would assume that this is susceptible to the traveler hook attack. Or if not then it’s definitely susceptible to a hard shove because yea that’s some thin metal Edit: traveler hook only works on outward opening doors. The door would have to be forced in leaving clear sign of breaking in. But depending on what deadbolt you are using it’s probably easier just to pick the lock

[@Animeaniac215]

Where LPL to wreck this thing?

He already did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5CwiWxsgrt3ZpI

Uhhhh. Deadbolts are to keep a door from being kicked in. How does a battery stop a door from being kicked in? Fuckin rl Cheeto lock.

[@leonhma]

"As is this lock, the security aspect is also invisible"

[@spocksvulcanbrain]

I'm not sure what this does. You still need a key? If so, what's the point? If not, then how do you open it? Horrible video because it doesn't tell you anything.

[@charminbaer2323]

it makes your current door lock into a smart lock. It's just the deadbolt part, you keep using your current key and lock so you don't have to get new keys cut for everyone in your household. you can unlock your door with your smartphone or set an automation for it to unlock when you get home, or to lock when you leave home. Yes, you can still use your old key to un/lock it as well.

[@scottballantyne310]

Is this a joke or is this real who would ever buy this about the same level of security is putting duct tape on your door😂

[@fiction402]

Level locks suck ass as just a smart lock, not even including security

[@jamaicanjoe1133]

true deadbolt, you're dead if you use that bolt.

[@MrKonscience]

Can you schedule it to unlock say at 9am every day and automatically lock at 8pm every night? For a laundry room for example?

[@ModernDayReviews]

Yes, thats a very standard automation within Apple Home app.

[@kaylee2116]

There are videos out by Locked in Lawyer showing how easy it is to break/pick these locks using very basic mechanisms.

[@heatshield]

Hollow deadbolt is quite the weakness.

[@Birdcookies]

If there is no battery💀

[@HamzaCraftOryw]

One question. The battery. Where do i get THE BATTERY.

[@ModernDayReviews]

easy question, Amazon - amzn.to/49HcyEi (affiliate link)

@@ModernDayReviews thx :)

[@geraldo4004]

A smart lock, that uses your old key, bolt, and cylinder. Not so smart lock? Nevermind a Hollow tube. No thanks. A hammer could dismember that thing. One solid smash with a sledge and good riddance. That thing falling apart.

[@VanMan89]

Not cool at all...

[@owlwaifu4949]

This lock doesnt even have security pins and can be opened by just raking or even using a bump key

[@charminbaer2323]

you're thinking of the other Level lock, that comes with a new key and all. this is just the deadbolt part, you keep whatever lock and key you are currently using, so depending on what is currently installed, you may already have security pins.

[@Stansbrokenhandle]

[@dougidouglas3210]

Looks good but not practical for proper security. A hollow deadbolt is like locking your door with sheet metal

[@SirusDiarota]

.....So what's smart about it...?

[@ModernDayReviews]

Auto lock/ unlock and integration with other smart home products for other automations

[@SirusDiarota]

@@ModernDayReviews With a weakness in the bolt, the usual bypass on the lock that the device is mounted on, and short out able to boot. So, I ask again. What's smart about it?

[@charminbaer2323]

@@SirusDiarota modern day just answered your question, are you that fucking dense? this will work with Alexa, HomeKit, etc.. it is more about convenience than making your home impregnable.

[@firstlast-qm8pg]

The latch is hollow for the battery, and that makes it weak, it can collapse if door is kicked.

[@jordanhulsey4130]

The doors gonna collapse anyway isn’t it?

[@ModernDayReviews]

Correct! @Jordan Hulsey The Level Lock Bolt deadbolt latch is NOT the weakest part of most people's doors.

​@@howardjones1388 now that was my question.... Reading the answer above I guess you hope you can kick the door in lol

@Howard Jones - You replace it.

[@gs8259]

Its about convenience, not about security. If my hands are full, I dont want to fuck with keys. Besides, thieves dont pick locks, they kick your shit in. So best have a Mop for the Opps as well.

[@ModernDayReviews]

Yep, if someone wants in. They will get in. Very few locks actually add real security.
