    Great review, helped a lot when I was actually trying to remove that darn thing! No one at my house liked it nor was able to get it to work correctly every time. August Lock however worked perfectly with no issues at all!

    does it tell you when your battery is low and it needs to replaced? if im using bluetooth only, can i keep my phone in my pocket and just unlock the lock by touch (thats not clear to me). Thx

      Yeah, HomeKey is great, but my wife misses the touch pad the most from our Yale. I'm still debating on whether to deploy a touch pad or not.

    Great video as always Jeff. I like the design of this lock but damn it seems slow. I ended up getting the Aqara U100 after seeing your video on that lock. That this is a beast. I don’t love the styling of the lock but damn the finger print reader and home key are a game changer.

    • @JeffBenjam

      It's been a bit over a month, and experience has been pretty good. Battery still reads "healthy" which is a bit ambiguous, but seems like a good thing.

    Have you had any experience with the Schlage Encode Plus and how it compares to this lock?

    • @JeffBenjam
      @JeffBenjam  2 года назад +1

      I personally prefer the Schlage, but this is a solid option as well. It really depends on your aesthetic preferences, and if you prefer a built-in keypad. Sorry for the late response.

    The lock picking lawyer picked this lock in less than a minute. He did point out that the core can be replaced. But this should have been considered by the engineering team given the price point.

    • @JeffBenjam
      @JeffBenjam  2 года назад +5

      I don't disagree that Level should have used a stronger cylinder given the price. However, I am glad that the cylinder can be replaced. I also think this issue is way overblown, since locks are really about home owner peace of mind than anything else.

      @@JeffBenjam I would say an Abus core, key operated deadbolt offers way more than homeowner peace of mind. This thing can literally be raked open, that's not peace of mind, that's a false sense of security for $300

    If you want your wife to murder you, install this lock. This is the worst product I've ever experienced. It wouldn't invite anyone. They'd slide to accept the invitation and then nothing happened. Imagine trying to get all of these people magical access to your house when you could just install a Schlage and input a 4 digit code. Also, the first time your wife "touches" the lock and it does nothing, she's gonna murder you. I'm alive but just barely. The worst part is, she knew before I ever opened the box that this product would not work. Took it back and installed a Schlage.

    This is just a wooden door. Where is the safety? Just amazed my door is metal in security hinges around 3cm thick. In a metal frame embedded with special screws in a stone wall. Despite the weight it moves smoothly. We use a safety lock and a Nuki Lock on the inside, exposed to HomeKit.

      They don't even have to do that, the lock has zero security pins so you can literally just use a rake pick to open it open in less than two seconds. Zero risk of leaving blood at the scene, zero evidence of forced entry, zero level security.
