I was also able to get a discount coupon for $30 on Amazon. I am finding less reason to buy directly from Eufy now of days being that they do not even have the product available as of yet (March 16 2021) meanwhile Amazon is selling it as well as best buy with $30 off.
love your videos, purchased multiple eufy items since i first saw one of your videos. hope you have much influence for them to make updates and the one i hope this will have is homekit. their products are inconsistent with support of homekit.
I recently set up the Eufy Smart Lock. For the fast lock feature, the fingerprint button locks instantly. Using the lock/cancel button is a long-press. Overall this is the most complete deadbolt lock system that I have found with a good battery.
@@FooHenky I use it on a high traffic door which is used every day (unlocking/locking around 10 times). So far its been 3 months and it is at 3 bars. Realistically, I will probably get 5-6 months out of the battery before charging. But, time will tell. I will see what happens at the 4 month mark.
Eufy smart lock has a one touch locking feature that requires user to hold down the cancel button for 3 seconds to relock the door from the outside. With Ring and August Yale, the relock from the keypad does not require more than 1 second and is triggered by putting any button (and not just the cancel button in Eufy’s case). Eufy should want to make relocking the door as easy and quick as possible- not force your use to find the cancel button and hold it down for 3 seconds for your door to relock!!!
I think the point of the delay when pressing the keypad lock button, is that, for most people, this would be the least common way to lock the door and could somewhat easily be touched by mistake. For me, one of the main features of this lock is its ability to detect when the door is closed and then lock.
Maybe the long(er) press to lock is to avoid accidentally locking it, which would waste more time than 2/3 seconds it takes to press the button. Good review. 👍
Would be interested in having a doorbell cam and smart lock integrated as one. Most people have a door bell too for their front door but I'm thinking for a side door (like on the side of your garage, etc.) where you wouldn't necessarily need a door bell but it might be handy and having a (or another) camera would be nice too. The other possible issue might be where you have a screen door that could block the camera - at any rate it would be a nice option to have this as a combo. The security stickers they ship with this lock kind of made me think it may include a camera and there does appear to be a light sensor (probably for they keypad backlight).
the problem with smart locks like these is that is if you have any kind of weather stripping around your door to prevent AC leaks, it usually do not allow you to lock the door unless you push on it a little, specially in winter when the frame expands due to the the cold weather because the wood frame expands and contracts.
I do have to adjust my front door once or twice a year because of the contraction and expansion. You can always adjust for the smart lock to work properly and your weather stripping intact. This is the reason why I test for jam/block notification because when I start receiving those alerts... that means I need to look and adjust the hinges etc... on my door.
Next, they need to make a smart lock that also integrates the doorbell camera function with it. Thank you for another great review. I'd really like to get this one for my back door.
I was thinking it would be great to have the camera and doorbell be apart of this as a single unit - it may not be that popular but I would like to have an all-in-one for my garage side door or for my back door where guests may get locked out with the auto (re)lock feature ;-)
You can use the fingerprint for one touch lock. Its much faster than holding the lock button. I just installed my Eufy smart lock with wifi. I love it! I just wish it had HomeKit integration
Just purchased two of these during Prime weekend. Excited to use them along with my eufy 2C Cam Pro placed at the outside garage. Do you know if the eufy app is available for smart Apple Watch? Sometimes I want to go for a run and don’t want to take anything else and would like to be able to open with the touch of a button. I can. Do that with my indoor u-tec UL3 BT door lock using Bluetooth. Or maybe setting up a routine with a smart sensor, if you active the garage door, then the door automatically unlocks to your house? Thank you.
Why is the reboot button on the outside of the door? Seems like someone could reboot your system and lock you out? Am I wrong? I just bought the system and trying to figure it out.
Thanks LH. I will buy this Eufy smart lock if it have Z -Wave or Zigbee wireless communication. My 2 year old Schlage Zigbee door lock still works very well on my local automation processing. Personal data privacy, reliable, responsive. Also I can set up this door lock turn on/off the lights, change temperature in the house ... I stay away WIFI lock.
I think this is purely a WIFI and Bluetooth lock and no z-wave or zigbee... the model that needs a separate WIFI bridge probably has it though.. I'm not sure.
Great lock so far. I just wish the notification unlock and locked can be scheduled as I received so many in the morning and afternoon when we leave and return home.
Because of your channel and reviews with set up, I have my house set with eufy cameras around my house and 1 in. Have Thani earlier but thx again!!!!! So when I saw this I couldn’t wait to watch. I’m in the process to switch mine old one with new one. I will wait for this model to come out. Great timing for me, thx!!!!!
Fan of eufy products but I wish this came with a handle so I don't need to install another just to push and pull the door. Also what's your recommendation on getting a smart lock if I have a metal security door at front of it? Just permanently leave the security door unlocked?
Great review! I wanted to ask, what is the maximum thickness of door that this lock is compatible with? Also is it only compatible with door or can I use it for a metal gate too?
Pardon my ignorance on the scramble lock combination, the only feature i know of the scramble lock is the keypad scrambles the numbers, im not sure how it workes here since the numbers are already printed. I hope i was able to explain myself clearly.
If my wallet gets thinner every time I watch your videos , you should be proud of your amazing products reviews,hahaha , congrats , I'm looking forward to the full review after months of use , Thanks for such helpful videos .
Did you add the strike plate enforcer & if so.... did you have any problems with it? Thx so much! I got my lock installed & when my door is open the dead bolt fully extends, but when my door is shut , it doesn't. So I took off strike enforcer, still same issue... to off strike plate all together to test & still will not extend all the way. I'm baffled bc I replaced my kwikset deadbolt with this, so I have no clue what's up. Simple for everyone else, had turned into hours of troubleshooting. Any ideas? Thx again & great video!
Can you change the key bc if I lost my keys and then someone else has access to my home for example if someone took my gym bag that had my wallet and key that mean they have my address and has the keys in other normal keys u can just buy in inner and replace it would you think they will allow smothing like thsy and how easy would it be since if you would have to order it that means you might have to wait less then 3 and hope it would be one day but then agn you still have to take it off just incase
What is your pick on Samsung door locks? I am super confused between eufy and Samsung wifi touch locks. It would be better if you can review Samsung locks as well. No review on yet so far.
Can this be deadlocked both for entry & exit? replacing a keyed deadbolt with a smart lock that allows exit is a decrease in security as anyone can gain entry via an easy entry and exit through your front/main door with this on it. Does it also have lockdown/privacy mode so when enabled acts as a lock latch (no entry allowed at all)?
@@FooHenky I have had some issues having my new door delivered. It's been 8 months and I still have not received my new door. Therefore I haven't been able to install the Eufy Smart lock. Once I do (probably in a few months) I will let you know how my experience has been. Opening the product it feels extremely durable and we'll made.
I've been using a Schlage Z-wave controlled touchscreen lock for a number of years now and it has been working great. It integrates with Samsung Smartthings and can be accessed and controlled through the Smartthings app anywhere I have Internet access. The feature set is similar to this Eufy lock and so I'm not sure why you wouldn't feel confident using a lock like this. Since it uses physical keys as a backup, it is every bit as secure (or unsecure) as any other traditional deadbolt lock.
@@denniswilson5384 if it works for you that's great, but to be honest I have no reason to ever want to remotely lock or open my door. If I did want to give somebody access to my house id be happier to just give out a key. Pretty much anything that's connected to the internet is hackable unfortunately, so chances are if these locks become more frequent there will undoubtedly be a point where average criminals can use this to their advantages.....yes, a door lock can be picked, but it also takes time, personally I changed the barrells on my doors for more awkward ones to pick. With the eufy cameras overlooking the doors anyway they wouldn't have much of a chance
@@rushrule1 totally agreed, so it's all about deterrents in the long run. I think this could eventually be the exact opposite. You could have it opened before walking down the garden path
Thieves don’t pick locks or know how to hack these digital locks. They use more destructive ways of entry and chances are he will be intimidated by your smart lock and just go for your neighbors house. Check out the lock picking lawyer see how little safety most locks provide anyway.
My new Eufy Smartlock w/WiFi will be delivered on Friday, excited to get it installed. Question: I also have a Eufy Entry Sensor on my front door. Will I now get two notifications? Thanks for another great review!
I havent read all the comments but may I ask does the app tell you who opened/closed the door and when? assuming all user ID haven been programmed. Thank you.
Most likely Eufy’s reasoning for the long hold of the “one touch lock” feature is to prevent it from being locked accidentally since the keypad doesn’t have moving buttons.
With Ring and August Yale, the relock from the keypad does not require more than 1 second and is triggered by putting any button (and not just the cancel button in Eufy’s case). You want to make relocking the door as easy and quick as possible- not force your use to find the cancel button and hold it down for 3 seconds for your door to relock!!!
The wyze is cheaper and you don't have to change your deadbolt at all... I prefer the wyze in a less used door like my back door. For the front door, this one will be a better option just because of the fingerprint feature which you can lock and unlock the door pretty quick.
@@LifeHackster I agree. Besides, I like the fact that it uses it’s OWN deadbolt. I feel like (hope) there will be less malfunctions bcuz of it. Hope this Eufy becomes available VERY soon! 🙏🏼 🤞🏼 Thanks for ur response, and keep up the great work! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
LifeHackster, I’m very interested in this product but I’m worried about the summer heat here in California and if this smart door lock would function/last as my front door faces the sun?
Can the lock with wifi be installed without having wifi. In the setup I can not see how you skip the wifi setup proceedure even though I don't have wifi other than my wireless router I may in the future install a home wifi hub thanks
Not really.. I'm not sure why Eufy placed it on the outside. Also the micro USB port is not really protected.. I'm hoping it is rust proof.... we will see.
Is this stuck to the door with adhesive like others? If so, what would keep someone from pulling it off the door and opening the lock with a screwdriver?
How about the option in the security settings? Does it have the option in modi when you select away that it will lock automatically when the alarm is toggled on or when you come back home and select home that it will unlock automatically? Or do you have to do it always manual?
Thank you for posting this detailed and thorough review. I will buy this smartlock when they'll start selling this in Canada. It has a few minor cons but the pros outweigh those minor cons. I hope that Eufy with a firmware update can add the functionality of knowing whether the door is locked or not.
I am interested in this, but in silver not black and it is not available in Germany. Can you help me or do you know when I can buy it here in Germany? Thx.
Great video once again. I’m thinking about getting the Schlage Encode smart lock for my Airbnb vacation rental; can you please review it? This lock is very popular. Thanks
1. Does the touch pad work in Canadian cold winters? 2. Does the finger print work with Canadian cold winters with moisture? 3. Does the touch pad work with gloves? 4. How's the warranty?
Can you set it to lock and stay locked at certain times? Only allow a few passcodes in during these times? We would like to use it at a condo for guests into a pool area. Great video.
got one unit myself but it doesn't always auto lock especially when we manually unlock it from inside. No issue if we unlock or lock from outside - the autolock will still work. I see that many people has the same issue with this model. reported to EUFY support ...
Awesome review. Is there any way to prevent the inside unlock function being used manually? The use case is a 3 year old who has figured out how to unlock our doors :)
Thank you for sharing. Good review as usual. Is the touchscreen keypad fingerprint resistant? If not, any suggestion to make it fingerprint resistant? Try to see if it is possible to avoid ppl guessing by looking at the fingerprint on keypad.
That's not suppose to happen. If you turn it off it needs to be Off... One explanation and this also happens to Ring cameras is that the status light turns ON when it is updating... but when it is OFF it needs to be OFF though.
@@LifeHackster Thanks for the replying. I contacted the company about it but they haven't replied up to now. My camera status light comes on every night at around 2:30-2:40 and it has mec concerned because of that.
Hey do you have any idea if this smart lock will fit on an 80mm thick door?😅 because per Eufy customer service and their specifications sheet, it will only fit on the standard 2 1/8” doors. But I asked their AI chat support and it answered that it should have no problem with 80mm thick door. I’ve been looking online for any one who’s tried it but have had no luck so far. Would greatly appreciate it if you can answer my questions🙏🏼
Excellent and informative review as always. Have you ever reviewed the Schlage Encode Smart Door Locks? Those also work without a bridge with just Wifi and I'm curious as to your take on those? I've been told they are good locks for vacation rentals.
But if scramble mode is on a burglar enters any numbers would they still unlock it? Edit: Lifehackster, you just hit 100k subscribers! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No.. it shouldn't open with any number.. you passcode should be somewhere in that string of codes.. also you can set the wrong-try protection and will lock out the lock... Thank you for you and everybody in making this channel hit 100K !!!
Thanks for the review. Eufy make good devices. Glad they decided to use wifi connection vs hub. One less equipment on the network. Probably going pick one up.
Hi, if you still have the lock could you please give me the physical dimensions of the external part and also the internal part. I’m trying to get a gate made but want to wait until the Wi-Fi version is available but need physical measurements. There is nothing listed anywhere on the website. Thanks
Wish they added a sensor to know whether the door is in a closed position. The “geomagnetic sensor” something and calibration does not work. Meaning the deadbolt will lock even if the door is open as per settting, and if it will hit the door frame if someone accidentaly try to close it.
@@LifeHackster Another question about the 5 keys that are supplied. Do you know what template is needed when making copies? I am hoping it's KW1 so I can use smartkey to rekey my existing door handle. Thanks.

A quicker way to lock it is to simply use your finger as if you were opening it. Simply lay your finger on the sensor and it will lock it.

They are releasing a new product (Door Bell + Lock)
You can link this model to an existing video doorbell from eufy.
Door bell alert comes though and can unlock it without switching devices
Looks like eufy read your comment and said "hold my beer..."
the problem with smart locks like these is that is if you have any kind of weather stripping around your door to prevent AC leaks, it usually do not allow you to lock the door unless you push on it a little, specially in winter when the frame expands due to the the cold weather because the wood frame expands and contracts.

Nvm I have managed to instal it onto one of mine interior doors without any problems
Great review as usual! Good point about the one touch, but my guess is that fingerprint locking is so quick that you won't need to use one touch.
Good point!.. Except during cold weather when you have gloves... I can activate one lock touch on my Nest X Yale with gloves on.

@@chrisoconnell9357 yes i noticed the physical lock. Just wanted to know which one is better - Yale Assure vs Eufy Smart Lock Touch.
Is this stuck to the door with adhesive like others? If so, what would keep someone from pulling it off the door and opening the lock with a screwdriver?
How about the option in the security settings? Does it have the option in modi when you select away that it will lock automatically when the alarm is toggled on or when you come back home and select home that it will unlock automatically? Or do you have to do it always manual?
Yes, one downside at this time anyways.. it has no integration yet with Eufy's homebase.
@@LifeHackster that's really a no go. I don't understand why eufy doing that. The integration with the homebase is a must.
Thank you for posting this detailed and thorough review. I will buy this smartlock when they'll start selling this in Canada. It has a few minor cons but the pros outweigh those minor cons. I hope that Eufy with a firmware update can add the functionality of knowing whether the door is locked or not.
Glad it was helpful!
Go OK then MasseyCall LabCorp Tennessee OK
@@LifeHackster sorry to ask again as I still got confused. Does the app let you know whether the door is locked or not now?
Congrats on the 100K subscribers.
Thank you so much 😀
i notice they have two different s230 smart lock model, whats the difference?
I am interested in this, but in silver not black and it is not available in Germany. Can you help me or do you know when I can buy it here in Germany? Thx.
Can two people connect to the lock through the app? Spouse and myself?
Yes.
Good video. Thank you. I plan to install mine today and your video is helpful.
how many fingerprints does it store? looking for a fingerprint door lock for access control in a school
Is HomeKit not supported? Does Eufy have any ETA on when it would be (if ever)?
Not yet... it doesn't even integrate with their base station yet.
@@LifeHackster it doesn’t integrate with the base station? So where does the thumbprint get stored?
Great video once again. I’m thinking about getting the Schlage Encode smart lock for my Airbnb vacation rental; can you please review it? This lock is very popular. Thanks
Other Eufy products are compatible with Apple HomeKit, but it doesn’t look like this is. Do you think this will eventually become compatible?
Is the indoor unit also ip65 rated?
1. Does the touch pad work in Canadian cold winters?
2. Does the finger print work with Canadian cold winters with moisture?
3. Does the touch pad work with gloves?
4. How's the warranty?
Touch pad works in cold and with gloves but not the fingerprint sensor especially when fingers are wet.
what lock do you like best?
I think this will pair well with my Eufy doorbell.
How does the lock fit?
2:16 can it automatically unlock when you're closer to the door? I have this installed to my entrance through garage.
Which smartlock do you use personally?
I use this one now in my front door.
Can you set it to lock and stay locked at certain times? Only allow a few passcodes in during these times? We would like to use it at a condo for guests into a pool area. Great video.
Question can this be added to SmartThings some how ?
got one unit myself but it doesn't always auto lock especially when we manually unlock it from inside. No issue if we unlock or lock from outside - the autolock will still work. I see that many people has the same issue with this model. reported to EUFY support ...
do you have to buy a subscription for this lock?
No subscription.
What material is the inside part (the one that installs inside the house) made of?
GREAT and thorough review. Perfectly done. I could not ask for better. 👍🏾
Awesome review. Is there any way to prevent the inside unlock function being used manually? The use case is a 3 year old who has figured out how to unlock our doors :)
Does this have an Auto Unlock via geo fencing?
Interested to know also
Not at this time. It has no modes and no integration to Eufy's Home base... Eufy does need to work on their integration.
Hello, Can you do rain test with fingerprint.... fingerprint work when its rain? Thanks
Have you seen anyone test how you described?
Thank you for sharing. Good review as usual. Is the touchscreen keypad fingerprint resistant? If not, any suggestion to make it fingerprint resistant? Try to see if it is possible to avoid ppl guessing by looking at the fingerprint on keypad.
Can you tell my why my Eufy indoor cam 2k status light turns on by itself a 2:30 in the morning even if I’ve turned the camera off ?
That's not suppose to happen. If you turn it off it needs to be Off... One explanation and this also happens to Ring cameras is that the status light turns ON when it is updating... but when it is OFF it needs to be OFF though.
@@LifeHackster Thanks for the replying. I contacted the company about it but they haven't replied up to now. My camera status light comes on every night at around 2:30-2:40 and it has mec concerned because of that.
I have two rental properties on different wifi, can I manage all the locks out of the one App?
Is it possible to turn off the internal knob, to only allow restricted exit via the app
I don't think it can be removed.
Is it robust enough for front doors
Hey do you have any idea if this smart lock will fit on an 80mm thick door?😅 because per Eufy customer service and their specifications sheet, it will only fit on the standard 2 1/8” doors. But I asked their AI chat support and it answered that it should have no problem with 80mm thick door. I’ve been looking online for any one who’s tried it but have had no luck so far. Would greatly appreciate it if you can answer my questions🙏🏼
One year later how has this held up ? Looking to pull the trigger on one . TIA
Excellent and informative review as always. Have you ever reviewed the Schlage Encode Smart Door Locks? Those also work without a bridge with just Wifi and I'm curious as to your take on those? I've been told they are good locks for vacation rentals.
I haven't tried them yet.
Does it have geo fencing setup?
But if scramble mode is on a burglar enters any numbers would they still unlock it?
Edit: Lifehackster, you just hit 100k subscribers! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No.. it shouldn't open with any number.. you passcode should be somewhere in that string of codes.. also you can set the wrong-try protection and will lock out the lock... Thank you for you and everybody in making this channel hit 100K !!!
Have you ever checked out the
ULTRALOQ Smart Lock?
Thanks for the vid love them , Do you think RING will get a smart door lock soon ?
I hope so.. but they have a list of brands and models that can integrate with their alarm system.
Thanks for the review. Eufy make good devices. Glad they decided to use wifi connection vs hub. One less equipment on the network. Probably going pick one up.
Hi, if you still have the lock could you please give me the physical dimensions of the external part and also the internal part. I’m trying to get a gate made but want to wait until the Wi-Fi version is available but need physical measurements. There is nothing listed anywhere on the website. Thanks
How do you charge the battery? From the front only? From inside? Remove battery?
Did you will test the new Eufy Doorbell 2K Pro (wired)?
I don't even know that they have a Pro version. I have to check it out. Thanks.
Oh awesome. Finally wifi. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Love it ! take my money
Is there anything like this for an outside gate?
There might be but with other brands.
Wish they added a sensor to know whether the door is in a closed position. The “geomagnetic sensor” something and calibration does not work. Meaning the deadbolt will lock even if the door is open as per settting, and if it will hit the door frame if someone accidentaly try to close it.
Can you set this up without a wifi first, and add the wifi functions later?
Another great review!!
I appreciate that
Why not the standard usb-c vs micro usb
Great video. I'm sold!
How does this lock integrate with their doorbell? Can you unlock the door while on video with someone? Great video and channel!
Not at this time hopefully in future updates.
@@LifeHackster Thank you for your reply. Keep up the good work!
@@LifeHackster Another question about the 5 keys that are supplied. Do you know what template is needed when making copies? I am hoping it's KW1 so I can use smartkey to rekey my existing door handle. Thanks.
My eufy smart lock doesn’t connect to bluetooth. Tried all troubleshooting steps, any suggestions what to do next?
