you guys tired of fumbling around with
your keys in the dark or don't want to
take your keys with you want to turn
your home into a crazy smart home then
this video is for you what's going on
guys my name is chris i'm back with you
with another unboxing and review video
this one's going to be for a smart
deadbolt lock for your door doesn't have
to be your front door it could be your
back door or your shop door you name it
we're going to install it on it this is
completely key free if you want that
option also app controlled anti theft
alert auto lock micro usb backup
touchscreen keypad ic card and
fingerprint accessible as well now i
actually got this in the gold color i'm
super pumped on that has gold accents
around it to make it a little bit more
poppy they also have silver and black
black on black and gold on black now
they do give you the option for the
manual key as well with a key insert so
if you do want to have a backup lying
around somewhere just in case they do
have that option as well just like all
my videos guys in the description box
right below the video is going to be
this exact same smart deadbolt where you
guys can read more about it and pick one
up yourself after the video is complete
that again is going to be right below
let's get this out let's see what we
have inside the box and install it
opening on up you have your directions
and your template for installation
definitely give that a read if you do
need to make some new drills new cuts
follow the directions and pay attention
to your template there if you're
installing it on a fresh cut door with
no trim cutouts yet very cool check out
that gold look right there let's go
ahead and get this portion out here
first as we can see here we're going to
go ahead and just put that off to the
side real quick we have a screwdriver
for installation we have all our
hardware our manual keys our ic cards
mounting bracket here we have our
deadbolt that goes into the door here
they also give you a drill bit that's
really cool i have not seen that before
with the company so that's very
appreciative and here is our keypad here
again with that gold and black look and
then remove
that little seal there which puts out a
very nice keypad right there i
definitely like the gold look i know
gold is coming back in and that's why i
chose the gold color here's your
fingerprint option if you want to use
that for entry the touchpad here and
then under here which is just a cap that
rests right on top of your manual key
entry there on the back you have all
your seals here and then this is going
to be right here this is going to be the
interior portion where this sits on the
interior portion of your door here's
your manual lock unlock right here for
your interior portion of your door here
is your battery compartment right here
four double a batteries which they do
not provide so you will need four double
a batteries for this again super cool
gold finish in here we're just going to
go through this pretty quickly here's an
interior casing for your door they
actually give you five manual keys which
is kind of a lot they give you two icy
cards they give you a plate for your
door for this here all your screws pins
and all your installation needs right
here and not to mention a screwdriver so
let's choose which door i'm going to
install this on and get going all right
so let's look at my front door where i'm
going to be installing the smart lock
here this is my deadbolt obviously this
is just my regular handle so first and
foremost if you have a solid door use
the template drill out your proper hole
i already had a deadbolt up here i
removed it very simple deadbolts will
differ on the bolts but majority of the
time only on the inside of the door
there will be bolts to disconnect the
deadbolt and then right over here on the
interior portion there's gonna be one
and two take those out and then you're
gonna detach two pieces and then slide
out your deadbolt now let's go ahead and
put the smart deadbolt in so first thing
you want to do is take your latch and
see how it says the up right here that
obviously you want to go up now this is
available to go deeper or short it comes
standard mine is this one right here so
that will be the standard length as it
comes now here's your back of it this is
the interior portion of the lock and of
course this is going to be your exterior
okay so off camera i actually had to
enlarge the hole just a little bit here
on the bottom to be able to fit my
bottom bracket here and my little top
slip here so it sits flush i'm actually
not going to be using that top one
because i eventually am going to be
replacing this door with another one so
i'm not going to drill in i've reviewed
other smart locks before and just using
the bolts down here it's secure and firm
obviously the third bolt would be even
better but that requires drilling into
the area with the template above the
deadbolt hole up here okay so back
inserts my deadbolt my front portion the
wire goes underneath in my case and then
you have your little turn key knob that
fits right down the middle and then your
two gold screws go right through here as
this is dangling here as you can see why
i enlarge my circle so the bracket come
in down below what we're going to do
here is we're going to make sure our
wire is off on the little slots right
there and then we're going to insert our
two tabs into the below section the
silver section there again we have to
make sure that our wire is off to the
side like that there and then we're
going to use a couple different sets of
longer screws here whatever your door
thickness is and we're going to screw
that in there and the other side as well
and that's going to hold the bracket and
then our interior portion goes over the
top of this now if you did do that top
bolt with the drill it would go right
through there just make sure that before
you tighten it down give it a test on
both sides making sure that it's
straight and not crooked the exterior
panel like this here nice and straight
as with the interior portion here before
i tighten that down completely i'm going
to go ahead and give it a little test
drive here obviously the cable is not
going to be sticking out the side i'm
just looking at the straightness looks
good to me on both sides now we're going
to take our wire here and what you want
to do is you want to just lift weather
seal up like this here put that down the
middle if you can't click it in without
removing that then simply click in your
bracket and then make sure your weather
seal or i should say your door protector
or whatever you want to call it is on
there sticking out the side here now
we're going to insert our turn knob into
our area right here all right before we
screw on the interior portion to this
bracket here if we lift up the weather
seal and the directions state this so
don't worry about this part there's a
little switch over knob right here kind
of hard to see on camera on the right it
has r and on the left it's an l
for left obviously and that's to
identify what type of door you have so
if you're looking at the keypad on the
exterior portion mine looks like this
with the hinges on the left keypad would
be on the right that's a left handle
door so flip that little switch over to
l if it's that case for you as well and
then once that's taken care of i
actually use the manual key to test it
and then also use this to make sure that
is flowing in the proper direction so
unlock lock right there looking good and
the two top ones are these small ones
and then the bottom one that goes right
down here that's going to be a longer
one there all right i want to talk about
a few little installation tips for you
so that you can save a little bit of
time for some oddball reason if this
happens do you like it happen to me so
as i was testing it with the manual key
on the exterior portion it seemed to be
working okay in the unlocked position
but regardless of how it worked when i
used the back portion right here it
would only go out like this much like
very little like a thumbnail and i
couldn't get it to turn any more
than that
what the problem is the instruction
manual goes over it if you do have that
issue but it's just easier sometimes if
i tell you about it so the little bar
from the exterior portion you need to go
ahead and flip it around like 180
degrees whatever direction it'll go and
then reinstall everything back in that
little bar that slips into your deadbolt
here okay next thing we're going to go
to the front of it and number one
looking absolute super sharp love the
gold accent there's your fingerprint
scan if you want to go that direction
okay so remember you have your manual
key turns it locks it all the way back
around and then you flip it around 180
to pull the key out once again insert it
just a quarter turn locks it
all the way around to unlock it and to
pull your key out 180. we're going to
get into the app but remember you also
have your rfid
chips to unlock it as well when those
are programmed now i do want to show you
a couple other little tips this is also
mentioned in the frequently asked
question card and that's where i had to
go to for this so to lock it what you do
you hold
pound
for two seconds
now i do a lot of construction my
fingers are a little beat up so i'm
gonna go ahead and go live right here
with you
sometimes you have to kind of touch it
for about a second and then it'll light
up i'm gonna go ahead and cut this light
so you can see how bright that is one
1000 and sorry that's not completely in
focus the lights are kind of messing
with the camera a little bit but very
bright to the naked eye but not crazy
over bright for night time
once again 1 1000
just hold it and then
when you're ready to unlock it enter
your code directions say how to do that
and then hit the pound button and it'll
go ahead and unlock so let's say you're
coming up to your door late at night go
ahead and just put your finger on it
like a cell phone it'll light up and
then go ahead and we're going to go
ahead and lock it right now
and it says locked which is nice
remember if you are not using the manual
key and you want a little bracket over
the top of it line up your holes on the
side here in here and go ahead and pop
that on in i think that looks okay but i
think it looks really sharp even with
the manual key being able to be shown
i'm not really too big into biometrics
so i'm going to skip that portion i'll
leave that up to you if you want to do
that or not my other camera ran out of
battery so we're switching it up so if
the microphone sounds a little bit
different my apologies so i would
recommend high-end batteries you do have
your battery cover right here we're
gonna go ahead and put into place right
there now let's say your batteries go
out on you there's a low battery warning
but also let's go ahead and look right
here underneath there is a micro usb
port and that's the speaker where it
says unlocked right there and talks to
you about administrative passwords etc
so that's a micro usb so if you had a
power bank that's your emergency power
which would give you power so you could
unlock it with your key code nice little
safety feature there now coming to the
interior portion i do like it it looks
very sharp the two-tone i think it might
look a little bit too gaudy if it was
all solid gold i'll leave that up to you
again nice weather seal all the way
around it and then we have a button
right here this button right here pushed
for two seconds even if someone that had
a code inputted the code they wouldn't
be able to get in so let's say you need
absolute privacy and contract workers
realtors whatever you go ahead and hit
this from the interior portion and their
codes will not work it's all stated in
the instructions as well all right back
with you here so had a little bit of
trouble pairing it with my app
installation had a couple corks on it
directions are a little bit unclear just
to be honest they could have done a
better job with the instruction manual
that's why i make videos like this to
help you guys out so my phone was not
picking up bluetooth it wasn't allowing
me to see this and be able to pair it
now i have another smart lock that uses
the same app that wasn't an issue it's
actually not connected right now so what
i actually had to do there's
instructions how to do this without
taking it off again but it wasn't
working for me so i'm just going to show
you what worked for me underneath the
flap on the right hand side that little
button right there where my thumb is
that's a reset button you hold it down
for it says 10 seconds mine was actually
a little quicker and then you have to
input the administrator password which
at the time it was either zero zero zero
pound or it was this setting the
administrator password in their
instruction manual star 12 pound and
then one two three four five six pound
so after i got that up and running after
i reset it i was able to pair it to my
phone and then in the app i was able to
rename it and so here is the main
settings right here tells you your
battery percentage i would go with
probably rechargeable batteries these
are duracells they're older they've been
sitting around for a while it says i'm
at 60 for those let's go down to
settings now in settings basics up here
i won't show the top portion of it
because it has sensitive numbers i don't
want to add on the internet but right
here name this is where you can rename
it i've renamed mine front door you can
group it and the administrative password
mine was actually different than the
instruction manual so hit that if you're
having trouble logging in for the first
time to be able to reset it for the
administrative passcode that you
particularly want and if you are
wondering i reset it with my batteries
in obviously i had to take my batteries
out to unscrew it put my batteries back
in and then hit the reset button it's
going to hold my codes in now even if i
take out the batteries so i'm going to
go ahead and put that one in first and
then take out just the right one screw
that one in put that back in that one
that one all right let's take a look at
it here so mine might not be as deep as
yours that's why there's a little
crookedness here that's unlocked that's
locked so if i had it a little bit
deeper probably your door does that
would go straight up not really
bothering me if that did bug you then
you gotta router out the interior
portion so the bolt could go a little
further back i have the trim off of this
right here if you're wondering i'm doing
a full remodel in the house so let's go
ahead and take a look at the app i'm
going to go ahead and tap that and it's
going to go ahead and unlock that
giving me a chime on my phone
and then this is telling me it's
unlocked and then long press my phone
and it's trying to lock
and it said
locked here there was no chime or
anything like that and it gave me a
little
so it seems like it's giving me only
here let's try it one more time
unlock there got it and let's hold it
down
so as you can hear if the camera picked
that up it's just a bpp there's no chime
on your phone there's no speaking or
anything like that on there for locked
just unlocked there is an option in the
settings for auto locked after a certain
amount of time if you forget to lock
your door it will automatically lock it
for you now a big key feature with this
is sold separately if you want to do
remote unlock it says it right there the
gateway is not too expensive but without
the gateway this is just a bluetooth
lock not compatible with alexa or i
believe google home as well you will
need the gateway for those features that
means that if you're remotely and let's
say you have a family member or friend
that wants to get in you don't want to
tell them a code you haven't generated
one for them which is definitely quickly
possible on the app you can't remotely
unlock it without the gateway but you
could just literally register a new
passcode for your friend or family
member standing outside just takes a few
extra minutes i won't go into all these
in depth but there's passage mode lock
sound let's take a look at this
so again all we hear was a beep my lock
sound is on if you don't want that you
can turn that off you have tamper alert
i have that on privacy lock i have on
reset button i have on lock clock
calibrate your time daylight savings
time etc and the lock clock will
calibrate with bluetooth i do want to
find out if i can change that to 12 hour
time not 24 hour time well unfortunately
i'm not able to find anything putting
that to 12 hour time instead of 24 hour
time but there you have the other stuff
there diagnosis upload data import
another lock for more update attendance
unlock notification you could delete the
device if you want to and i couldn't
find the 12 hour in the main settings of
the app as well all right so over here
it gets pretty juicy we already saw the
lock and unlock the big keypad right
there in the middle now you can send an
e key you can generate a passcode that's
where if someone's waiting outside you
don't have the gateway your e keys your
passcodes right there your cards
fingerprints authorized admin records
and your settings we already looked at
let's take a look at records it has all
of the cool information here i failed i
unlocked i locked i lock pressing the
key so all your records will be right
there for the passcodes that you give
out so you know if your landscapers are
coming in your realtor is coming in your
maids coming in your kids are coming in
what time they're coming in pretty cool
so with the app you can take everything
to the next level with your generating
passcodes etc very cool if the
developers do see this video definitely
integrate 12-hour time into the app
would be awesome overall i think it's a
really nice lock definitely has some
really cool features to it i like the
gold as well that's a big plus in my
book after playing around it for a
little bit again you just have to kind
of hold it down for a second before it
illuminates
and then you just do all this and then
if for some reason
operation invalid if you type in the
wrong code
so again let's say your porch is
completely dark but you have an idea
where the handle is
then you just hold your finger up to it
until it illuminates and then you type
in your code
and then you hit pound and again two
seconds
holding down pound for it to
lock or if you've stepped out on the
porch just used the app but holding that
down for two seconds is a little bit
easier in my book i think it's a cool
lock had a couple corks to get it up and
running perfectly wish the directions
were a little bit clearer but hopefully
this video will help you out they do
offer other locks as well different
colors i will have that once again
