Customer Ratings & Reviews

Firstly; It is my opinion that products shouldn't get a low rating because it didn't work the way that you hoped it would. Rather, they should be rated on the products performance on what it says it will do. With that said, this lock is excellent, and better than the August Pro; in a few ways. I have had the August Pro for 2 years, and there are some pretty big cons. 1 is the size, it is just too big and gaudy IMO. It doesn't look great and people don't know how to use it. 2, the batteries do not last long, and I had it on a door that is not used very often. And the locking "power" is not great. 3, you need the wifi bridge to control it from anywhere, which is an extra purchase. I say all of that first, because the Danalock has outperformed the August Pro in every way. 1, it looks fantastic. So much smaller than the August and the brushed nickel color matches perfectly with my existing hardware. And it looks like a lock, so there is no confusion on how to use it. 2, it uses better batteries (which are included, by the way. The specs say that it doesn't). The locking power is so much stronger than the August. 3, this integrated quickly and easily to SmartThings and can be controlled from anywhere. I do have one thing to say as a tip to anyone else that may encounter this problem with the initial setup; If the light is a solid purple, the Firmware needs to be updated. You have to download an app called Danalock Toolbox (I think) and that will detect the lock and update the firmware. After that, the setup is as instructed. Now August did just announce an updated version of their lock (literally on the day that I installed this), however, I will not even consider it based on how happy I am with this one. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering a smart lock.

Did not work the way it was supposed too. Returned the same week it was bought. Make sure you buy the correct protocol or it won’t work with your system. I returned it for an August pro. Haven’t looked back sense.
