Please remove the video from our My Digital lock showroom

The top 3 digital lock rank as mention were hardly been found in Singapore or sold well in China

These companies don't even have a range of digital lock to install for different type of doors.

Most importantly, if any of your users who purchase as mention of the lock above. When the lock is faulty there will be no warranty support as no digital lock company covers the spare parts

We have been in digital lock industry for 12 years.

At least we know customer is looking for digital lock that is well design, stable in mobile app and able to receive warranty support

Any of the lock u mention breaks down, none of the lock company in Singapore can repair them

Also you don't even know the type of mortise or lockset u are recommending.

Alex is definitely the best curator on planet Earth! Very comprehensive and clear in his selection criteria. Big help here in narrowing down the options for home smart lock. Thanks.

Thank you all for your interest.

We understand that the Aqara A100 Zigbee International Edition stocks are in short supply in the entire market.

Currently, we have a few units available for anyone with an urgent need to get one installed this or next week.

We have also informed Homesmart and Alex Teo on our intent to leave a message regarding Aqara A100 stocks: we acknowledge and are grateful for their lead contribution in this video.

Thank you

Thank you! So helpful for a tech-challenged person like me.

I’ve had a Samsung Push-Pull lock for a few years but I’m sick and tired of being locked in, so I’m on a hunt for a new one. It happened twice which is bad enough. So much distress to the folks inside. Imagine if you had a plane to catch. Anyways, I read an article by Jon Wong titled “Samsung Digital Door Locks: Thou Shall Not Exit Your Home!” (great read by the way and quite funny). He talked about this lock-in problem and advised that a lever handle would be a safer way to avoid it. What’s your take on it?

Just recently installed lockin s30 pro, fantastic door lock its perfect

[jeffreyJS]

Great video Bro! I'm sold after watching your video. A100 installation tomorrow, finally a smart lock for my home after years of deliberation. Appreciate your thorough elaboration of all the locks and functions. Homekit and Homekey won me. Keep up the great work!

[cpuzzz]

Thank you Alex, this is the best and only video in Singapore talking about how to choose smart locks.
I've done some research as well, also found out that Lockin S30 Pro is the best option.
Your video is very informative and well thought out. Thank you.

You should add into consideration that without a manual unlock from the inside, if the lock malfunctions for whatever reason, u can get locked in your own house. I think that is a major factor in choosing a digital lock. Also, with a handle, space between your door and gate comes into play.

[hikarirayzone]

Hi Alex, do you have any plans to review the newer offerings from lockin? i read that they have recently released their version of gate lock that have sync function.

[egoh]

Thank Alex for this video. Very useful for people like me who would like to get a smart lock but not sure where to start and what to consider. Yet there is still the concern of how safe is a smart lock 😊

[ryant]

Hi, I have recently purchased a Lockin S30 Pro, loving the design! However I have 1 huge issue with this, which is it cannot change the voice language to english? Any suggestions on how to switch the language?

[wirelessed]

Thanks for the great review. I was considering the Yale and the Lockin s30 too. Good to know that it's actually a reliable brand!

Hi Alex, thanks for putting up the video. There is one more thing if I may add, is the lock catch. I have the Samsung push pull one for 5 years already. And it really is very loud especially in the middle of the night when you return home. The click when you push or close the door really is a big thing to me. I visited some friends whose door has a very quiet opening and closing. That’s when I realise some of their digital door does not have the bolt catch. When opening with finger print, the lock just move inwards the door and you can push the door open with almost no noise. Same for closing. The door closes with a soft close and the door just locks swiftly and quietly. Why I am particular with this is because it’s really annoying and a bother and sometimes the closing wakes me from my sleep. So that is also one important aspect for me when looking for another digital lock.

[pharmtee]

I purchased A100 after Alex's recommendation and its so good! Thank you once again for your honest review!

[VeteranLu]

solid and objective video. thank you very much for listing your considerations. Compared to those lock companies who are interested in pushing products from companies that give them the most returns, you are a rare find. Subscribed!

[danialjailani]

Thank you Alex for helping me decide my door lock. Took me weeks to decide until i chance upon your video. 😂

[Quest]

I'm using Samsung, push pull design. Back then there weren't so many options. You ruled this out as the fingerprint reader is located separately, but I feel this is easier if your hands are full - those you showed required you to grip the handle. Also liked their accessories (e.g. small key tags) which are useful for extra users (easier to activate/deactivate than new fingerprints). Long lasting battery life and is reliable. Takes 8 batteries but can run on 4. I think it also has some anti-tampering alarm.

[Zeratul]

Does these digital door locks handle direct SG sunlight well ? Do they not overheat after a few hours ?

[pyl]

Gasped when I saw the A100, thanks for bringing to our attention! Anyway having a separate lock for the gate will mean we can open door for ventilation, but honestly I think even with gate unlocked nobody is going to walk in so blatantly also!

[milanese]

Excellent video Alex! A lot of good points covered in detail which I really appreciate. Thank you for sharing!
