Pairing Gate+Door Smart Digital Locks - Which My Favorite Top 3? 

My husband and I sat down to watch (no, not just watch, study) this video before we went straight to Eazea and purchased their gate+door lock. Biggest considerations for us were the presence of fingerprint lock inside the gate lock (since I leave my door open all the time and don't want to use a remote to unlock the gate from inside) and that the fingerprint sensors are perfectly placed to just open the gate/door without shifting hand position. Very happy with our decision. Thank you so much for your recommendations! You are such a great resource and we really appreciate your advice!

I'm using Yale paired locks for the past 9 months, and it's been great! However, mine is locked instantly though, even before the gate closes properly. A bit annoying tbh. What I did previously was play with the timer settings, then felt it was too long (10 seconds minimum) and change it back to instant. Also another good point about Yale, is that I can track the battery life using Samsung SmartThings app on my phone, and set the automation to light up my Philips Hue in a certain color when the gate's battery is lower than 10%. And it works! I don't have to keep tracking when my battery will be out. 😂

Nice review, i am using solity myself. You may wish to include the thickness of the locks, as some older HDB door to gate clearance is much smaller then newer HDB. Like yale lock is thicker therefore is not able to fit into my house, which is the main reason i go for solity

Hi Alex, the Yale app has a setting under "Auto Lock" which allows instant locking. The 10 seconds lock used when the timer option is used. The instant lock will take about 2 to 3 seconds.

Hi Alex, a recent new viewer of your channel here. Thank you so much for your effort in making these videos. The pairing of gate + door locks are useful when coming back home. However, if I am at home and unlock the main door lock, would the gate lock also unlock itself? That would be a problem if I just want to open the main door to speak to perhaps a salesman but don't want to open the gate. Thanks in advance!

I have a super basic question. If the gate lock is already equipped with a smart lock, we technically don’t even need the main door to be locked yeah? For example, can I have the Aqara a100 installed on the gate, and leave the main door as normal? (Can Aqara a100 be installed on the main gate I wonder).

hello, thanks for your video. It is interesting to continue in the form of only a lock on the door (without garage ones, as in this video), which you can actually buy in Europe, and where the build quality, materials will be put first, and then the functionality will go.

The things I would like to know what about if someone using a blow torch on this Lock

How to get at the price you showed in the video which also includes the 2 components. On their website the price is a bit higher and no mention of the components are included.

Hi Alex. Might be a stupid question... Since the gate lock controls the door lock, wouldn't it make the door lock "useless"? Would it make sense to just install a gate lock without the door lock? Thanks!

Any sliding door locks you'd recommend?

How about Starke

Any mention of Starke??

Can do a review of switch bot smart lock. Don't need to change the existing door lock. Pretty cool

Can the Yale 7220 or Yale Luna be used on exterior doors exposed to light rain? Covered entrance but wind may hit the outside body of the door lock. Are they IP rated? Thanks.

Hey Alex! Well done! As a Yale customer and user for over 1 year, I must say they truly are pretty amazing!

what is the lock/s that are weatherproof on its back? (where we place the battery) that is ideal in outdoor gates without shelter or shade.

Hi Alex, thanks for the informative video. Wished I watched this before I bought my Samsung P72 smart lock for my main door. Do you have a recommendation for a smart gate lock? Understand that the P72 does not sync with any smart gate lock - would like to keep the P72 if possible.

Hi Alex, if the gate leave it open for more than 5 min, will the digital gate trigger alarm as a reminder to lock the gate ?

Hi Alex, I have already bought the Aqara D100 (main dor lock) and was wondering if I can sync the unlocking and locking with the Yale YDR50GA (gate lock) with Google Home or Apple Home Kit or ? Great if you can let me know (:

Hi for solity bundle , I heard if I want wifi function the lock won’t be able to synchronised? Is it true ?

Thanks for your excellent video. Love your very practical videos. I hope to see more videos from you where you show tutorials of how to install+setup these smart locks

Hi Alex, do you personally think that gate lock should come with a handle? or not necessary? Thank you.

Are yale digital lock, fire resistant?

So for the Philips one, I suppose there shld also be a way to open the door from the inside without unlocking the gate even with the pairing done up? eg, if I open the door from the inside to talk to some stranger asking to do survey and I want to keep the gate locked etc

Thanks Alex for the informative video for HDB owners. Question for the gate locks: how is it installed? Do they have to replace the existing gate or is it added on? Which of the locks is the quietest in your opinion? Don’t want to irritate the neighbor with the frequent opening/ closing Thank you!

Thank you for the reviews! I was wondering if you have any recommendations for a outdoor smart lock for outdoor pedestrian gate I live in the US and we are looking to redo our pedestrian gate in the front yard but it is really hard to find a Weather proof smart lock

Nice! Great review and comparison! Thank you very much for this.

hello is the philips 5100 k gate lock waterproof. I need smart lock for my outdoor gate for all types of weather

Thank you for your videos. I have learnt a lot. I have a question to ask for your advice. For safety reason, would it be better for have a gate lock which doesn't pair with the door lock? Making it harder for someone to break in? I'm worried that if someone manage to successfully break in at the gate can easily enter the house, given that the gate and door lock are paired? Thank you.

Hi Alex, just wondering if there is a particular reason for the Yale door lock model you chose? Saw they have some others that are push pull kind of design and was wondering if there is any advantage to the handle version

Hi Alex, can the Philips EasyKey 702E be paired to with the Philips EasyKey 5100-K for the dual unlock or I have to use the 9200?

One point that does not touch upon is, for the gate lock when exposed to rain etc, does it spoilt easily or

Nice video again Alex, I am looking grill door lock that supports Apple Homekit but yet found it, what's best grill door lock(doesn't need to sync with wooden door) that is most secure and doesn't rob my bank?

hi @alexteo thx for the video and effort. But i'm a bit confused, is there 2 ways to open the door via app, ie thru bluetooth and wifi? or opening via app is actually means usingwifi?

Have you tested An digital lock LH600MG ?

Great video and very informative! I just had my door installed with digital lock. Went with a brand called Singgate and it's working amazingly well. Realized that not many people have heard or known this brand. 😄

Would you pick ydm 7116 over 7220 since 7220 has a weird finger print placement. Both unit seems to offer same usp except the biometrics

For synchronized unlocking, is it able to set only for certain users or only fingerprint feature will trigger it?

Hi Alex, thanks for the informative review and sharing! I was wondering do you know any digital gate and door lock bundle that can integrate with smart home solutions to trigger certain routines - e.g. depending on who unlocks the door, trigger a "Welcome Home" message with routine customised to the person? Thank you!

Where can we get the Yale bundle in us ?

am wondering about smart locks and gates using wifi. will it consume battery much more such that charging more often is require and risk of lock out higher?

great video! but we are looking mainly for digital door lock for the main door and do no require any gate lock. just wondering what do you think of the lockin s50m? its available on some online platforms but not too sure how well it performs locally now..

Hi Alex, Thanks for making an informative video. We have shortlisted Yale and Kaiser push pull door lock. Would like to know your thoughts on Kaiser. We have a small recess area between the gate and the door. Is there any advantages of not pairing the gate lock and door lock?

Sorry noob qn.. if you have synchro gate and door, you want the door to open only when you are at home inside, do you open the door and still have to close the gate manually and also turn the door to unlock manually too?

Hi Alex, i'm using " August" smart lock at my main door. With your knowledge in anyway can it syn with Yale gate lock ?

Which one is good for Canada ❄️ weather still work ok?

Hello Alex! Do you know if the RF module is sold separately for the Philips 9300 door lock? I've had this and the gate lock for 1+ year but never knew about the synchronized unlocking. Always learning new stuff from your video!

What about a gate lock that pairs with lockin s30 pro? I got that door lock after your review and I really like it. Need to get a new gate + gate lock and wondering if you have anything to recommend?

Hi Alex, do you have any recommendations for the best batteries for digital door locks? Would be very helpful if you did a video

Hi Alex. Great review. I’m assuming these locks are not available in the US market? Any options or recommendations for US market?

safety door ,your recomended brand

Would you recommend a single smart gate lock or single smart door lock? I wouldn't want to get both considering the inconvenience if both locks were to fail at the same time.

Thanks for review, I’m looking for a lock, would u recommend the Lockin (w/o gate lock) or the Yale Combi lock?

Hi Alex… Did you come across Samsung Lock? Do u recommend them?? May I know the reason too.. 😊

Hi Thank you Alex for the video it really give me ideas on model to look for. I have two questions. I'm not sure you or any user out there can help me. 1. Yale Luna Pro can work on pairing compare the model Alex mention. 2. As both run on battery, Current model I use has this problem was when battery run out flat, the lock will be unlock. Will current new model has this issue? ( note my current mode is more than 9yrs now) Also why i am considering to change it

Does any of these lock come with physical key for manual unlock? In case of fire and the locked failed electrically will I be able to unlock it?

Hi Alex, I’m looking to get a gate lock only as I seldom lock my door at all. Do you have any recommendations for gate lock only which can pair well with a smart home?

Hi Alex, did you try put igloohome's gate door locks? Curious to know what you think of them since you recommended their door lock in your previous video.

Hi @alexteo for solity door lock, any other of its model that r cheaper n can replace gp6000bk? I need remote unlock, dual unlock but no need geo fencing

Hello Alex. Just got a solity gate and door combination. How does one connect the WiFi bridge to their home router. Mine is Asus XT 8 Mesh. Don't seem to have steps at Solity side. Grateful if you have any info on this. Would like to use Samsung Smart things to link up with Solity smart app Thanks in advance.

Hey can i ask for the yale auto unlock feature, do i have to open the app on my phone in order for it to work, or i can just leave it running in the background, or even better don't even need to open the app on my phone at all? 😅🙏🏼

Are there any gate + door combinations that don't use a remote for the gate, but also don't have all the smart integrations? Like Solity but prettier? haha. I am leaning towards the Yale but it's so pricey considering I don't need all the smart options... Thanks for all your videos, they are really helpful!

Hey Alex, does smart features works with all yale bundle offers once i purchase their wifi bridge unit

do you know if there is any door/gate locks utilities apple homekey unlock feature?

Do you know if these models come with constant power supply that we can tap from the main source? Dont wanna run into an instant where the batteries runs out

for philips lock, does the access log function requires the WIFI bridge? thanks in advance!

bro. i want to install for my personal room. which one is the best for it. please answer this bro. thank you.

11:45 the Yale locks are compatible with home assistant through which integration?

Hi Alex, any newer gate+door recommendations?

Hi Alex, how do I open the Philips gate lock from inside if the door and gate lock are not synced?

Hi Alex, noticed the cute sign hanging on your front gate. I’m interested to make something similar as my dog gets triggered by delivery persons as well! Could you let me know where you got that sign from? Thanks! 😊

nice video!! do you know if these gate locks will still remain in working order if the front gate is prone to rain droplets during heavy rain?

Can do a review on digital lock for room doors?

Alex, do you know if there is a digital smart gate lock for landed house gate? Thanks.

Haaallp....is it true the Solity locks dont connect if you have a mesh network? I don't get why the supplier keeps saying mesh network not supported when mesh networks have a 2.4ghz AND 5ghz channel. Anyone can share their experience before I buy? Thanks 🙏🏼

hi Alex do you know the difference between the solity GD60 and GD65?

Hi Alex, understand that digital door lock that comes with wifi is more prone to data breach/hacking? Chance upon your video regarding Igloohome digital lock which I bought recently, mortise 2+ for door and the gate lock with fingerprint? May I know your take on this bundle that I've bought? Is it good and downside etc? Appreciate your time for this.

Hi Alex, what do you think about Kaadas L7 and R6G? Surprised it didn't make your list

Hi Alex, thanks for the video, i always enjooly ur tech review about smart home. Curious if you have ever used keywe digital lock, and any opinion on it? Thank you:)

Igloohome recently released their "sequential unlocking" feature. What's your take?

How is the battery life of the Yale pairing since it uses wifi?

Personally to me, Softwares are important but so are the Hardwares, if not more so… I got a Combi Door from Doctor Doors and pair it with the Solity Solity GP-6000BKF smart Door Lock. Just ONE Action of Push and Pull to open or Close BOTH Door and Gate at the same time quietly without disturbing the neighbours.

hey Alex, i gotten Lockin S30 Pro after saw your review many months ago. now i need look for a gate lock to match making with it. what do you suggest?

What if ur answering the door and u don’t want one or the other door to unlock at the same time … coz u just want to see who it’s is without the gate unlocking as well ? Isn’t that dangerous ? Imagine answering the door and u still think u have the gate to protect your family but it also unlocks out of convenience ?

Hi, is ‘yale luna pro’ recommended for the main door?.

Hi Alex, would like to check is it you will recommend kaadas?

Can you review epic 7g? Thanks

how to unlock the yale gate lock from inside?

Hey sorry. So you say that both Yale gate and door lock is compatible with Apple homekey? Dang. Maybe I need to reconsider my purchase.

It's possible to add/delete password by app without being at home? a permanent password or with start time and endtime?

Hi Alex, thanks for the informative video. Just wondering if you’ve tried and tested Hafele door and gate lock? In particular, Hafele PP8100 (Door lock) and GL5600 (Gate lock). Would you recommend their product?

I have a question with YALE, I was informed by the salesman that it doesn't work with mesh network, and was unsure if i could use it to trigger routines for my smart home. Hope if you could clarify.

Hey Alex, thanks for this. Didn't know that there's a module for the philips locks. Can I check where you got the rf modules for the locks? Wasn't offered the module when I first bought

Hi alex what door lock you using right now ?

Maybe can try out Starke digital lock

If the main door lock is just a dummy, should we just buy gate lock will do? What's the downside?

wondering if the yale smart access module (dummy) + gateway can be used with the Gateman Assa Abloy that I have.. would love to have such features.

Battery life for gate lock is usualy short and you need to change battery every 2 to 3 months.

My gate door never lock and open all the time. Sometime delivery man close the door for me 😂. Door lock using Nest x Yale lock. This lock not much features and drain battery very fast. Immediately regretted 😢
