How is this a buying guide? This is just general information about smart locks...

I thought this was going to be which is the least hackable one.

I have the August SmartLock and I enjoy it pretty well but sometimes the auto unlock doesn't work

[bbalila]

Am using Fingerprint Locks from last 5 years. August don’t have keypad, I have Neat products in my house & waiting from last couple of year from them or Yale to release WiFi/Bluetooth lock which can be operated from Nest app.

Whatever you do, don’t buy the Kevo! It is not consistent and will always give you some kind of issue.

Good to know! Btw, I've made a research of smart door locks and think the fingerprint door lock of Molilock is good as well. Maybe you guys can learn about it~

[AlexManMe]

After watching this I'm still lost, guess I'm sticking with my August, you didn't give any comparison😀

smart locks are nice but connecting to them is a pain. I use august smart lock and i once spent 5 minuets trying to connect

[kennylinda]

That's why I've been considering buying the smart home door lock of Molilock

I so admire technology. Albeit, there's pros and cons to everything. Thanks for the upload/video.

What if you want to keep your deadbolt lock but replace the main one?

[kennylinda]

A great instruction！ Btw, Molilock's fingerprint door lock is good as well

You forgot fingerprint sensor smart lock, like the Aqara or Xiaomi classic / Loock lock. Since Xiaomi has never failed to surprise me with quality / price, I will go for the Xiaomi Loock.

I can't talk my girl into buying into getting one of these things. I think they work fine especially the ones that attach to your existing lock.

[unknownuser]

So many shops use them and pretty much all of Korea and Japan use them. All this talk that keys are safer. Nothing is completely safe.

[sibaroochi]

So now a deadbolt is only as tough as your WiFi ?

This is not a buying guide, this is gen info. unless the definition has changed!

[shashanksaxena]

She doesn't look at the camera directly, not even once :P

The concept of locking doors in the US (as I think this video show) is that you lock the door just turning that thing on the inside. Where I live you need to lock/unlock the door inside and outside with a key. So I don't think that kind of smart lock would be easy to implement here.

smart locks sounds cool and all.. but there is always a risk of some hackers that can just hack their way inside your home.. so yeah. traditional locks for me until it is really highly secure..
