2022 Best Smart Locks Reviewed! (Surprising Winner!) 

I got the Lockly Secure Pro and love it. Battery life is insane. Got the lock in October of 2020 and only had to change the batteries once so far. We use the fingerprint unlock and auto lock multiple times a day.

This is the only good review in whole RU-vid … so to the point , no extra bs !!

I went with the August Smart Lock Pro (has a plug-in wifi dongle) because it uses 4 AA batteries instead of the CR123's. While it's larger, it works fine, and combined with the optional keypad allows you to add guests and rules.

Glad it was helpful. The Yale lock has a lot of potential. They just need to start refining the design. And bring the price in line with the others. For the price is should be top notch and easy battery swaps!

I have the Weiser version of the Qwikset Premis, and it does have auto-unlock with your phone when you arrive…

If anyone is having issues with controlling this lock remotely on the app please read below. Mine started acting up where I would ask to unlock and it would not work or it would say it’s still locked, but it actually wasn’t. I called the company and talk to them for a bit to learn more. They mentioned a few things. More than likely it’s a battery issue and the lock doesn’t have enough power to operate to its best performance or one of the batteries has gone lower than the others so even though it’s reporting good battery health on the app it may not actually have, consistent voltage across all four batteries. I was highly suspicious, but I replaced my batteries and all the remote features now work perfectly again. They also had me remove the back cover remove the batteries and take out those two black screws to pull the lock off of the door and be careful cause there’s a wire attached. They had me remove the wire and check it for any damage and put the wire back in. This also sent it Funny, but they said sometimes people can slam the door a bunch and the Plug can come undone or unseated. So that also. Also check that out of the wires on the door or damaged while you have that off. The last thing they had me check was that my app was the most current version. I said my apps update automatically but he said there is a known issue where it looks like you had the app, but you may not actually. So he had me delete the app off my phone put the app back on andthat solved any potential issues. So happy to report that it is going on 2 1/2 years old and everything is working great but I did have a hiccup because my batteries got low and even though it was reporting good battery health on the phone app.

Ultraloq battery only lasts about a month. Batteries come dislodged if you slam door too hard. No beep if batteries are running low. The bluetooth was useless because it would unlock when I was in the home. Had it for less than 3 months and was locked out twice. Have to keep a key on hand as a result. The mechanism on the inside of the door is plastic so no real quality there and will probably break over time. I'm looking for something to replace it. Preferably something that has a finger print sensor but only allows manual turning of the bolt as bolts get jammed and the mechanism consumes power. Can't find anything on the market that hits those checks though.

Good review. Nice clear presentation

Thanks for this video! I wish I had seen it before we bought our smart lock a few weeks ago. We got a Yale lock and one of the first things that upset me about it was the battery tray which h wasn't mentioned in other review videos. The batteries are so difficult to get in especially once the lock has been installed on the door. Definitely will think about the Ultraloq Pro for the next one.

Thanks great review.

I’m deciding between Yale and ulog. Any suggestions. Are both apps similar feature wise? Thumbprint is biggest feature for me

I can’t find the app in the App Store on iPhone! How was the app rated?

Love this video..

I am still loving the U-Bolt Pro lock. We use it everyday and saves me lots of time. I never fumble for a key anymore. amzn.to/3RNb3ht

August lock sucks like a lot. Kept bugging out and locking me out and then telling me it is out of battery so I can’t unlock the door. Don’t trust some crappy startup with your lock.

Your top pick doesn't have a key option so if the battery goes dead you have no way in.

What's your day job? Must have some good income

I had the Ultralog Pro. Terrible lock, nothing but problems. I couldn’t get it to reset. I’m trying to get my money back.👎

U-Bolt looks so ugly though.

Hi Jake, great video! We'd love to work with you! Additional details have been sent to your email =)
