Approach Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt Retrofit Smart Lock, Unlimited Virtual Keys, App Remote Control, Keyless Entry - Silver

I bought this just to have the option to not carry a key and to be able to unlock the door before I walk up to it with my arms full. Did not buy the key pad. It was easy to install, initially set up right away and worked, but I noticed that the calibration was off. If I unlocked the door with a key, the Yale would still show the door as locked. This was due to the lock not turning as far when using the key vs turning the knob inside. I tried to recalibrate it and only turning the inside knob just enough to pull the bolt back but the Yale lock freaked out. It made noise, flashed, and would not operate. I thought it had failed. The app linked me to email the Yale customer service with a video of what the issue was and photo of the adaptor I used. Based on some bad reviews, I figured I would have to wait a long time or not get a usable response. I was wrong, received a response right away with a recommendation to use the blue adaptor instead of the yellow adaptor I was using for my Schalge deadbolt. I swapped the adaptor, calibrated it, and it worked. It also does not have the original calibration issue. I have been using it for almost a month and the only minor issue is with the app. Sometimes the lock will not operate in the app unless I select Home and then the lock even though that's where I was to begin with. I had read a lot of bad reviews about this and almost did not buy it but it's exactly what I wanted. It's a basic way to operate the door lock with an app, so I gave it a try. I noticed one bad review with a video where the reviewer apparently did not know how to assemble a door lock. This Yale lock goes on the inside of the door and replaces just the lever/knob. You keep the outside and the bolt of the old lock.

If you hate digging around for keys, you need this. I hate keys. They are a pain to carry in your hand or dig out of the bottom of your bag. Cars have made it possible to get around this for a while, so I'm glad my home finally has this option as well. I really like that from the outside this still looks like any ordinary lock. Nobody even has a reason to think that it could be accessed through my network. It was so easy to install. I've been using it for a while now and haven't had any issues. It hasn't ever dropped from my network and it hasn't ever failed to unlock as I approach my door. It's really nice to tell she's to lock the door from the second floor instead of going down the stairs to check. One time the door wasn't quite closed all the way and couldn't lock. The feedback it gave was perfect. There was no question whether or not my home was secured. There is a hidden bonus to this too. I used to be prone to forgetting my phone at home. Since I now lock the door through the app, I realize as soon as I'm leaving whether I have my phone or not. Can't leave without it now unless it's on purpose and I use the physical key.

Works well, easy to install on door, I liked that it does not require any changes to the outside of the door or keylock. I was looking for a lock without a keypad. We use the auto-lock feature to lock the door after 5 minutes of the door being closed. The auto-unlock feature is great, with the app on my phone, the door unlocks as soon as I come into range of the Bluetooth connection. The app works over the internet to show the lock/unlock status and control opening it.

Set up was very frustrating at first, but once I got it to work it's been nice to have so far. The app is very glitchy, but usable. It's great for letting in the dog walker, or having my door unlocked when I'm carrying in my groceries.

Be careful when ordering outside of the US. Initial setup requires a US phone number and location to activate. The bridge doesn't work because it's based on geographical location. It is a nice door lock once you get pass the initial setup and being ok with half the features if you're not located in the US. I'd go with Eufy smart lock (previously owed) personally if I had to purchase another smart lock.

Works sometimes. - Proof I know what I’m doing. - I have the base station and lock within 7 ft. of the door lock and with a direct line of sight to the base station. And yes, I’ve changed the batteries. All of the issues are with the Auto Unlock when arriving home. - The application gives me notifications welcoming me home and saying it has unlocked the door. Only to find that the door isn’t unlocked. Then I get another notification telling me that there was a communication error, unlock failed. It only works maybe 50% of the time. - Easy physical install. - The application install on my phone was easy. I haven’t been able to add my wife’s phone. Links to Google, but not Apple HomeKit.

Great!

I was scouring the internet for a smart lock that both didn't use a keypad/fingerprint and still let me use the same keys. This was exactly the answer! They were easy to install, easy to setup, integrated smoothly into my Google assistant, AND they look sharp! My only gripe is with the WiFi bridge that comes with it. In order to work in further than Bluetooth range, the lock needs to connect to this bridge; which act as a middleman to connect it to the WiFi. This would normally be fine, my main issue is that the bridge only works for one lock... So, if you have multiple then toy needs bridges for each one OR I think you can buy an upgraded bridge that can handle multiple devices. However, that step just seems like overkill to me. This single complaint is not enough to get me to return it; or even to stop me from buying another. Just something to take into account because you could run out of outlets fast!
