Do you use Smart lock? Level Lock is a smart lock that works inside your existing lock and works with Apple HomeKit in iOS 13 and with Android as well. Thanks for watching!

So concerned about dead bolt integrity because it is not a solid piece of metal. Do you have any concerns about that?

Thanks, Aaron! VERY good review.

Hi Aaron. Can we get an update on this? Kind of intrigued by it.

I have two locks on my door with the same key. How will this work with the level lock? Can you pair the locks to avoid having to open the locks separately in the app?

How does the auto unlock feature work? Is it effective?

Aaron, I've had an pod touch for years and a cheap LG, so I will ,in a few weeks have a the "new" SE 2020 with 128. It's going to be lots of fun getting and beta testing the new IOS upgrades for the next 3 years or so. I'm back in the game with a family car using a corvette engine:) I think I can transfer my IPOD stuff to the phone, I do backup to the cloud. Is that true or will I have to start from scratch? Cheers, Rik Spector

Hi Zollothech, Thanks for this review ! Do you know if this lock is compatible with a patio door that is exposed to the elements from both sides. So I need one that is completely weather & temperature proof, on both sides of the lock ^^" Thanks !

Will the Level Lock Unlock when I get home just using my Bluetooth vs having to open app?

I have this lock. Its a great design and very well built. The hollow bolt comments go out the window as soon as you see it up close. Its very heavy duty. And the walls are thicker then it appears on video. As for lock picking . That security falls on your existing deadbolt. The cheaper the lock. The easier it is to pick. But ! That being said. Here is the biggest con this device has. It runs off Bluetooth so for your homekit to work for all the cool features. You better make sure you have your homepod or homekit receiver close to the device or it will keep saying unavailable or can't help. Its a pain. I fixed this by leaving a old iPhone next to the door. It works like a dream. Again not everyone has a extra iPhone to spare. So thats why I say its a huge problem. My honest opinion no sponsors. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

No it's not well built. A traditional bolt in a deadbolt is half in the wall and half in the door. About two inches worth. This does out and there is no structure in the door of any consequence after that. That means it's weak. Thieves don't pick locks.

I agree Bluetooth is a horrible technology. Every Bluetooth device needs some work around. It is screaming for a replacement. Its in version 5 and still haven't got it right.

Which door handle did you get to match the lock!

I've watched countless videos, and no one has showed the "auto unlock" on approach without Siri that the website says it a feature. Is this not a thing?

Can I add it to Home app without using Level app?

Does it connect with WiFi or to each device with bluetooth? Edit: never mind I see it needs to connect to your Apple TV or iPad being used as a Home Hub via Bluetooth. Thats a no go for me those are to far from my doors to make HomeKit effective.

The lock cylinder bolt is weak being hollow for the battery. Also just a deadbolt is not enough, you need a door lock as well, leaving this pretty ridiculous seeing how you would need to unlock the door lock itself by key.

You’ll break the door jam before breaking the lock. Also if you were to try and bend a steel rod a hollow rod is technically stronger even though you wouldn’t think that.

I was so excited and about to buy this, but that's when I realized it's only Bluetooth. It's supposed to work with Ring now, but people are saying that when they're out of Bluetooth range and want to unlock the doors remotely, it appears offline.

That isn’t going to take a kick… my door frame is reinforced so you can’t kick the door in. There is no way they used titanium on the bolt and the bolt is hollow to it’s just gonna fold over. A typical kwikset smart key dead bolt can take repeated door kicks by a 6’1 200LB tester. In fact the door will fail before the bolt. If you reinforced the door at the lock it would take a battering ram (probably several strikes) to bring the door down. I’m not saying a qwikset will be usuable after repeated door kicks. I’m saying it won’t break. I’m fairly sure this will. The moment I realized a battery was inside and realized the price was too low for that too be a constructed in a way to be hollow and strong I knew that this is essentially a privacy lock.

But i feel that it’s not strong enough! Anyone can break in easily.

still sucks because you need to install an app for you or for a guest you want to give access to. Best smart locks are zwave ones that have multiple ways to unlock (phone) or keypad) or original key. Also because this lock uses the actual cylinder to house the battery, the strength of the deadbolt is questionable. No matter how much they claim it is to be strong, it simply wont be as strong as a solid deadbolt. You are protecting your home with a thin layer and battery to hold it from being bashed in?

SAVED VIDEOS All solid because it’s cheaper and easier to make. When trying to bend a steel bar, a hollow bar is stronger. Go check some videos of it. However, when compressing it there may be differences. However, no one has the personal strength to bend steel of that thickness either solid or hollow. The door frame would break way before the deadbolt.
