I received a latch edition to review and while it didn't fit my front door perfectly, I enjoyed it so much I had to have one for my front entry door so I purchased the Satin Nickel Deadbolt edition. Some key distinctions between Lockly Secure versions, they are all compatible with the new Wi-Fi Hub, but the Secure is the base model with keypad and physical key. Plus adds fingerprint scanner. Pro has fingerprint and also adds the Wi-Fi hub. While its great Lockly made the Wi-Fi hub backward compatible with all 3 units, if buying new the Pro edition is the way to go without a doubt. So Lockly Secure locks with the Wi-Fi hub can control your lock at least 5 different ways, all of which are important but the two methods that are real game changers are the finger print reader and the remote/smart home controls enabled with the Wi-Fi hub. The fingerprint reader is the best method of entry for day-to-day usage but the remote access and lock/unlock is great in a pinch or emergency for guests, visitors and family members. Overall I think the deadbolt unit is the easier model to use and works great with existing hardware, but it does have some flaws detailed below: 1) If you leave your door ajar, after 30 seconds with auto-lock the bolt will extend even if the door isn't closed, meaning you need to manually close the bolt to close the door. It would be nice if the Wi-Fi door sensor prevented this from happening. 2) The inside door housing is not satin nickel it is plastic, unlike the latch edition. It doesn't feel cheap, but its not as premium as the latch edition. 3) Hardware is not universal. The deadbolt fit better than the latch edition which left holes everywhere, but its not going to be perfect for everyone. Make sure to check your hardware. The deadbolt fits perfect with my Schlage hardware. 4) Fingerprint reader is a problem for left in-swinging doors since it is close to the jamb. 5) Fingerprint reader is not as forgiving as iPhone touch ID. I had to register my index finger twice to get some shifted imprints to register. Still, my wife and I love this device and its easily one of our most appreciated tech home upgrades!!! The only real limitations are which door you want to protect with Lockly and whether or not it fits the existing holes in your door. Installation was simple, about 15 minutes using the manual rather than Bilt app and another 10 minutes to enable everything in the Lockly app. I only needed Phillips head screwdriver but a flathead may be useful as well to remove existing hardware. While it is expensive, the functionality and convenience it enables is well worth the increment in price.

This lockly product is awesome! If only I have more money, I would get the more advanced version with the doorbell and cam. Easy to install. Fits right through the existing door hole for replacement.

The LOCKLY works pretty good. Don’t have to worry about our kids having their keys. I’m still having troubles connecting the unit to WIFI.
