Your Home's Security Supercharged: 20 Game-Changing Features Of A Lockly Smart Lock

Securing your home might seem like a simple affair - put a lock on the door and you're set, right? While traditional locks may deter intruders, they lack the convenience and innovative security features that come with smart locks.  

Lockly takes smart locks to the next level with industry-leading technology packed into their stylish locks. Here are 12 features that make Lockly the ultimate smart lock upgrade for your home.

1. Not All Fingerprint Scanners Are Made Equal

With Lockly’s biometric fingerprint reader, you can unlock your door in under 0.5 seconds with a single touch—one of the fastest sensors in the industry. The advanced 3D optical sensor scans and verifies your actual fingerprint (not just an image) for the most secure access.

Lockly's biometric fingerprint scanner not only ensures swift access but also adds an extra layer of security by validating your unique fingerprint, making it virtually impenetrable to unauthorized entry. What’s more, on-device machine learning provides increased accuracy as the user is using it. Additionally, the lock only accepts "live fingerprints," so intruders won't be able to use 3D prints or steal your fingerprint.

2. Randomized, Peek-Proof Pin Pad

Don’t want others stealing glances at your pin code? Lockly’s patented PIN Genie technology displays randomized pin numbers on its touchscreen keypad. The positions change with every use to prevent unwanted shouldersurfing. You get all the benefits of a traditional keypad with extra anti-snooping security.

The PIN Genie technology isn't just about convenience; it's a privacy safeguard. Imagine entering your PIN with the peace of mind that no one can memorize or guess it by watching you. Lockly's randomized pin pad adds an additional layer of security to your home, ensuring your access code remains confidential.

3. Temporary Access Codes

Giving guests access to your home while you’re away? Lockly makes it easy and extra safe. Create single-use eBadges—digital keys with custom access duration—for visitors. eBadges deactivate automatically when time’s up, removing the hassle of access revocation. Never worry about forgotten or copied entry codes again.

Hosting guests has never been more seamless. With Lockly's temporary access codes, you can create personalized eBadges for friends, family, or service providers. These digital keys offer a secure and convenient way to grant access, eliminating the need to share permanent codes and providing an added layer of control over your home security.

4. Built-In HD Video Doorbell

See who’s knocking with Lockly’s integrated doorbell camera. When your doorbell rings, your smartphone instantly displays a crisp live feed so you always know who is at your doorstep. It’s a video doorbell and smart lock conveniently rolled into one.

Picture this: you're at work, and the doorbell rings. Instead of wondering who it is, you instantly receive a clear live feed on your smartphone, giving you the ability to see and interact with visitors in real-time. Lockly seamlessly combines the functionality of a video doorbell with the security of a smart lock, offering unparalleled peace of mind.

Life is unpredictable, and so are battery levels. Lockly's emergency power accessory port acts as a fail-safe, ensuring you're never locked out due to dead batteries. Simply connect a 9V battery to the dedicated port, and your door is ready to open, providing a quick and efficient solution for unexpected power loss.

Weather can be unpredictable, but Lockly adapts. The Rain Sensing technology ensures that your smart lock remains operational even in a sudden downpour.

Welcome Mode is a feature in the Lockly smart lock app that allows you to temporarily disable auto locking on your lock for a set period of time. When Welcome Mode is enabled, your lock will remain unlocked so you and your guests can come and go without needing to enter access codes, scan fingerprints, or use the app. To use Welcome Mode, open the Lockly app, go to Settings, toggle on Enable Welcome Mode, and set the length of time you want the lock to remain unlocked. Welcome Mode eliminates the need to manually unlock the door for expected visitors.

 14. Air Transfer

Then select the lock you want to transfer the profiles to, confirm the profiles to copy, and tap Next while connected to WiFi or Bluetooth. Air transfer conveniently and securely copies access credentials between Lockly locks without having to manually reprogram each one.

 15. Offline Access Code

The Offline Access Code allows Lockly users to grant temporary access to guests without requiring them to download the app. To use it, generate a code in the Lockly app under Access Management, then have guests enter a specific code sequence on the lock keypad to activate it. This will enable the guest code for a set duration. OACs provide easy remote access sharing without needing app access.

16. Rekeying

Rekeying a smart lock involves removing the lock cylinder, taking out the existing pins, inserting new pins that match the cuts of a new key, and reassembling the lock. To start, remove the knob and cylinder from the door, take out the cylinder plug, remove the old pins, insert the new key and matching pins, replace the plug and cylinder, and reattach the knob. Rekeying allows you to easily change lock combos without fully replacing locks. Kits and locksmiths can facilitate rekeying smart locks like Lockly's.
