Review summary

Users praise Lockly for solid hardware, easy setup, strong security and responsive support. Repeated issues focus on the Android app—unstable connectivity and missed real-time alerts—along with flaky fingerprint authentication, battery-draining firmware updates, unpredictable auto-lock behavior, and various UI/compatibility drawbacks (signup UI, sunlight readability, smartwatch support, and admin limits).
Pros
  • Easy to install and set up
  • Reliable performance when the device/app works
  • Strong customer support and warranty replacement options
  • Comprehensive security features with per-user codes and auto-lock
  • Fingerprint scanner is convenient when it works
Cons
  • Android app connectivity and real-time notifications are unreliable
  • Fingerprint scanner reliability is inconsistent/broken across updates
  • Firmware/app updates cause battery drain or long downtimes
  • Auto-lock behaves unpredictably and can raise security concerns
  • UI/UX and compatibility issues (signup placement, sunlight readability, lack of smartwatch support, and admin management limits)

The app seems to function ok. The one simple feature i WISH it had is the ability to just Unlock a door for X hours. I dont like using Welcome mode because I have to set a a window for a specific day and time and if I forgot to shut it off, I now a door that Is unlocked when I dont want it to be. it would be voodoo simple for them to add a small hour:minute dialog box next to the Lock/Unlock button that lets you quickly set hour many hours and minutes you want to have the door unlocked.

Do not buy lockley can be hacked came home and noticed a lot of stuff stolen. This locke is hackable. and camera, it doesn't work after ten seconds, which is diabolical, because you need a camera to work when there's any movement, not any movement after ten seconds, the stupidity of these people. so much for trying to protect your home

The UX of this app just gets worse and worse with every update. It's gotten almost impossible to find basic features without following a labyrinth of unintuitive steps.

This door lock is exceptional. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is sometimes it won't accept the codes and won't unlock the door. Also, the app works but it's a bit confusing about locking/unlocking the door. it says locked but open...? When you get to the unlock/locked emoji of a door, even though it is locked the emoji door is flashing an open door...

My device isn't automatically locking all of a sudden. Battery life is at 70% and relock time is set to 30 seconds. I received a notification at midnight stating the door was unlocked then locked. It was unlocked around 3 pm and it never latched until midnight. Not safe at all and a bit shocking after years of use.
