I have the Lockly Lux Compact (which has both a Latch and Deadbolt (and a handle)) and it's great - really well made and solidly built (all solid metal - not plastic like some brands/models)
I purposely bought one without Wifi (you can add it to these models with the optional Wifi hub) - I basically didn't want to risk exposing my lock to the Internet (mine has Bluetooth tho so I can still program/manage the lock using the phone app - but only if you're physically near it)
people using this. do you only have this one key/lock on your door ? no other lock (the one with handle, or what if you have security screen door for example do you lock them too)
I have this lock on my main wooden door and we have a locked security screen. We don't always lock the security screen but we live in a relatively safe area. I figure if a thief wants to get it, they'll find a way like smashing one of the many windows we have

Depends on your style preference.
This doesn't have a handle so you would need to add one to your door separately.
In my opinion, these best suit double doors with a door latching mechanism and an auto close.
Otherwise you have to pull them shut and wait for the lock and it's all a little fiddly if you have a standard door.
I'm not sure if this has a fingerprint reader but I recall some of the lockly ones didn't suit where the fingerprint reader faced the door latch (if that makes sense) as it made for a tight space to stick your finger in.
There were also some complaints about the bulkiness and about the screen being annoying to use.
I bought the lockly version with the handle and then ended up returning it for the eufy wi-fi version.
Nothing against the lockly but would 100% do it again. The eufy is amazingly quick with fingerprint (why would you get a smart door lock without fingerprint ever?).
Anyway, just my opinion if that helps.
Also one more word of wisdom, make sure you check how much spacing you have between any screendoor/handle and where this unit will sit - the lockly is a bulky unit and sits quite proud and may sit right where your security screen door handle does.
Fingerprint reader is on the right side in this one, so I assume it's the opposite side of the latch. It would be on all my doors, but they have one pictured where it's on the same side as the latch.
I also have a Eufy Touch, simply because I think it suited the hardware already on my door the best. Though on mine, the auto lock mechanism is a bit flakey, like it either randomly turns itself off, or doesn't realise the door is shut. How are you finding yours?
Just to clarify, I liked the lockly but I have a standard width door but my backset distance was shorter…with opening on right side…so to get my fingerprint onto the reader, you have to contort your finger between the door frame and the housing of the lockly…which was a deal-breaker compared to the eufy fingerprint reader sitting up front and proud.
To answer your question, there is one silly limitation in the eufy software that if you turn on auto locking, the maximum time before it auto locks is 3minuted…and it bypasses detection of the door being shut…so when we/kids leave the door open for 3 minutes+ and then slam the door onto the exposed (auto locked) deadbolt….stupid.
I've had the occasional 'failed to lock' message (I think it's expansion and contraction associated with temperatures here in VIC + my installation) and occasionally it drops out of the WiFi coverage.
Overall super happy with it, looks a million bucks and works well with the rest of the eufy ecosystem.
@Ozbargainerd1: My theory with the 3 minute timeout is that it's a battery saving measure. So it doesn't have to poll the sensor to check position, while having it in the lock position is better for security so people can safely assume a closed door is locked.
Ideally, they should give an option to decide what happens on timeout with locking being default, but without one, what they did is the next best option I think.
Happy with mine too, but with all tech, there's always some little annoyances I guess. Now to figure out where I could place a video doorbell..
I have only this and a big handle to push/pull open door
Had to install a little roller latch (no idea what to call this) that keeps the door shut when open before you push/pull
What's the difference between deadbolt and latch version in terms of functionality and security? Can't seem to find the description on their website.
Nothing apart from one having the latch included and the other taking into account that you already have a door handle attached.
Can this be integrated to HomeKit? via homebridge or the likes
only thing I dislike about this lock is that it automatically locks after set amount of time (I have mine set for 1 min). But unless you get the wifi attachment, the lock doesn't know if the door is shut or open so the dead bolt is always sticking out after 1min. So you have to close the dead bolt before you close the door
btw great price OPYou can turn this off, just install the app and it's in the settings
I've had this lock for just about a year now…
I also have the door sensor installed.
The issue I've been having recently is, if you set the lock to close at a certain time when the door is shut, the lock automatically closes even if you haven't shut the door after 5 minutes.
I've raised the issue with lockly and they given me the safety crap.
It doesn't make sense because you have the option to set the lock to close more than five minutes when door is shut.
I have this and love it
One thing that I hope is a one time issue, after about 6 months the lock would randomly beep through the night, would wake my toddler and that is never a good thing for anyone's sanity.
After another couple of months the fingerprint stopped working.
Had to warranty it and they sent a new one, it's working perfectly now again, fingers crossed it stays that way as I love it
You are not along on this, I had the same issue and I found similar review online
Also had a new one thru warranty, if it happens again I might go with another brand, in saying that I am 100% happy with the lockly when it works, it was also the cheapest all in one smart lock with fingerprints/pin/key etc
Would love to know the Lock Picking Lawyers' take on this one.
Click out of one, binding on 2…
possibly stupid question.. but how does that pin entering work? so if my pin was 1234, i would just hit the circle with the 3 numbers with 1 in it, then the circle with the 3 numbers with 2 in it etc etc?
Correct. There are two options for PIN entry, random mode where the numbers jumble after each press or static where the number bubbles will remain in the same spot each time.
Perhaps a silly question…
But what do you do if the existing hole through your door is bigger than the width of the lock? How would you typically make the hole smaller to ensure that this lock covers up the existing hole?
You can get/make a partial 'blank' to fill the empty space…but generally speaking your hole dimensions should match this unit (they should really be one of two sizes from memory).
Somehow, I don't know why, I really distrust the idea of a 4-6 PIN number being a barrier between my household and a burglar. Isn't it easy to just use telescopic lenses on a camera and a good vantage point to spy on family entering the house for a few days, and then putting it all together to guess the PIN? I mean, forging a key feels like it would require a lot more work than that.
You can have the number bubbles randomise after every single press so it would never be the same.
I can definitely see a problem with PIN when you are coming back drunk. Randomized fields to press would make things even worse ;)
Haha, well you can't have it both ways but you're all sorted if you can at least get your finger on the reader :)
let's be honest, doesn't matter what lock you have, we all know the missus is going to find you asleep at the neighbour's front lawn next morning
Somehow, I don't know why, I really distrust the idea of a 4-6 PIN number being a barrier between my household and a burglar.
Wouldn't the weakest link be your 3mm glass window panes?
I guess so. Still, sound of breaking glass draws more attention than a silent beep of a digital lock, or even silent struggle of a drunk me cursing the world after punching in a wrong PIN 10 times in a row ;)
You'll use your fingerprint 99% of the time
I still carry my backup key on me, so if fingerprint doesn't work I'm likely to use that
Pin great for temporary access. Add anyone's fingerprint who accesses often
Anyone know if you can get Bunnings to price beat this?
Unlikely because this one isn't available for pick-up or same day delivery but it can't hurt to ask.
the way they handle pins looks excellent
