Getting a bit excited looking at digital/electronic locks, stumbled across this one and am hoping it is useful for someone!

Camels tells me this price is at an all time low: https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B00R7JVFCE

US import but I haven't found that to be much of an issue personally, many of my overseas items have come faster than local orders.

    Kwikset… Oh no. LPL has something to say about this!

    • puffinfresh on 08/11/2020 - 23:22

      I know the self-rekeyable Kwiksets are easy to pick, but this doesn't have that "feature".

      Honestly watching LPL I got the feeling of it not mattering at all. As best I can tell they've never made "actually hard to bust" videos.

      No worse than me often leaving the front door unlocked

        Although self-rekeyable had heaps of issues around easy to pick.
        However, almost 90% of the locks on people's homes are easy to pick and can easily be bumped. Once you see how easy it is to create a bump key and how easy it is to bump a lock, then you won't feel safe with any locks….. haha

        Also a lock on a door is as strong as the weakest link on your house.
        You can get the state of the art lock like medeco or schlage high security which are super hard to pick and is bump resistant/proof, however if there is a window on any side of your house, then it would render that lock virtually the same as breaking the window and getting in.

          Ah, didn't realise there was an AU version of lpl. :)

          Just take a few tiles off the roof and go through the ceiling manhole.

  • TEER3X on 08/11/2020 - 23:08

    Good price, but the ones with no buttons are much more aesthetically pleasing

      for real. I just installed one of these https://www.amazon.com.au/Yale-Assure-Lock-SL-Touchscreen/dp… and it looks spectacular

    • eug on 09/11/2020 - 01:14

      I wonder if the black numbers will wear out over time. If it does, people will know what the 4 numbers in the code are. They still won't know the sequence, but it makes guessing the code much easier.

      • sn809 on 09/11/2020 - 11:52

        By that time you will have gotten a better deal on Ozbargain

      • puffinfresh on 09/11/2020 - 13:39

        I'm almost 2 years in, and have no visible wear

  • Mister Plod on 08/11/2020 - 23:55

    Are there any decent sets like this lock that use the same physical key? Would likely just use codes primarily, but looking for something for front and back doors without needing 2 different keys.

    • puffinfresh on 09/11/2020 - 13:45

      I recall from installing mine that the key part can be swapped out with the cylinder from another deadbolt. So if you have an existing deadbolt, or buy a matching set, you should be right.

  • Nurcopolics on 09/11/2020 - 06:03

    The best is the August WiFi smart lock

    I've been researching smart locks and push button locks for a while now and it seems they ALL have their various problems and compromises such that they could be classed as products still in development and not mature yet.

    I bought a kwikset similar to this one except it has the smart key feature that allows you to re key the lock yourself. It worked fine except intermittently would not unlock using a correct code, or get caught in an endless loop of the motor churning away without opening the lock, or the backlight for night time use would just stop working, or the auto lock in 30 seconds feature would fail to work.

    All these faults would be cleared by pulling the batteries and reinserting them which involves a screwdriver and removing a cover. And speaking of batteries it chewed through them too fast.

    So I returned it to Amazon (no problem) and elected to have it replaced. The next one was better but within a week I still had the endless loop motor churning problem occur. I also tried rechargeable batteries to avoid the problem of expensive running cost but the lock reported them as needing replacing after 3 days so that was a big fail.

    I'm about to send it back and get a refund this time.

  • HomebrewFC on 09/11/2020 - 13:10

    Would someone be able to tell me, once locked, can these digital deadbolts be simply unlocked from the inside with the handle/knob?

    Our conventional deadbolt at home is key-holed on both sides, so if someone were to smash the glass on the door they couldn't simply reach in and unlock it from the inside.

    • puffinfresh on 09/11/2020 - 13:47

      This one can be unlocked from the inside without a key
