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!
zollotech I don’t trust these locks.
@@deeppatel9059 why?
zollotech I don’t use smart lock
“Unlock my door, please”
Siri: “Sorry, I can’t help with that yet”
Oh GOD PLEASE NO
Lol
Very nice. I like that it doesn’t replace existing exterior hardware
Wow! That is Some next Level Tech.
Thank you 👍
Excelent review Aaron! I was really excited about this smart lock. 😀
Thanks! 👍
Great video
Wow Awesome , very useful device !! Everything in phone , the world is changing day by day 👍👍👍
it was soo much cheaper on Ratedgadgets
Is it true you can use it on Apple Watch too it’s just it shows on website thanks Arron
Good video Arron/zollotech very cool gadget
This is cool, can you make it unlock auto with apple watch?
Thanks, Aaron! VERY good review.
6:50
Kid: 🙃flicks lock open and closed like a maniac
How does the auto unlock feature work? Is it effective?
So concerned about dead bolt integrity because it is not a solid piece of metal. Do you have any concerns about that?
Ehy sorry for the question but can you share the wallapper that you used on your iPhone during the video ? Is different from the One that is linked
Do you need the included strike plate or can you is the existing one
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.
Hi Aaron. Can we get an update on this? Kind of intrigued by it.
Which door handle did you get to match the lock!
Hey man what's the cordless screwdriver handle that you use?
HomeKit is far from perfect in my experience. Also, how strong is that cylinder since it is hollowed-out to hold the battery?
Mr. Luigi stronger than the wood door frame, lol.
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 !
No
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
Will the Level Lock Unlock when I get home just using my Bluetooth vs having to open app?
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?
Aaron, the kinda guy to tell Siri: please
We need to be nice to our AI.
zollotech it’s 2020, we all need some extra kindness ☺️
I have to wonder if this is strong since the lock cylinder that slides out is hollow to hold the battery. Thoughts?
It is a ANSI Grade 1 lock. Which is better than 90% of what most have installed now.
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?
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.
Not the case. To work with ring, you will have to enable Amazon sidewalk, which means that you can lock and unlock remotely. No Bluetooth is needed.😅
i am thinking of just using the level lock by itself. just don't know how i would be able to drill the hole just to seat the level lock and cover it again in such a way that it would not be noticed.
Siri unlock unlock zollotech’s Front door
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.
Does it only work with Iphones?
give this to the @lockpickinglawyer and he will have found several ways to hack it open in 30 seconds or less.
It's not a lock. It's just an attachment basically to motorize your existing lock.
You could probably just pull the door really hard. I wouldn't trust a battery to hold my door closed.
The only problem is you won't know if it's installed. That's the issue with bypassing it. It's invisible.
If I had one negative comment... it would be the type of battery used. They could have designed it better for use with a AA or AAA battery or two AAA’s.?
Can I add it to Home app without using Level app?
Does it Auto Unlock when you arrive home?
Thank you! I feel like nest has been the best looking products but only for google users. I love the look of this, Apple quality. What do you recommend for smoke and co2 sensors for HomeKit?
I haven't used any so I am not sure.
The Wallpaper Looks Cool. Can You Please Update The Wallpaper Link in the Description.
2:50 nice music you used there.
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.
Hollow is often times stronger in bend tests. Also, this is common not to have a door lock too. I mean if someone really wanted to get in they could just shatter the window...
Do you know if it communicates with low power Bluetooth? Does it need to be within range of an Apple TV to tie it in to HomeKit for remote access?
It uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and does not have to be an Apple TV, it can be a HomePod as well
Is this available in the UK at all
I’d love to use a smart lock. But, once a hacker hacks your WiFi he can unlock your front door too from a distance and that’s why I’m not going to use a smart lock. Thanks Aaron for this video!
It' secured through Apple HomeKit. Even if they were able to break through your WiFi they still couldn't unlock it.
zollotech oooh, that’s awesome! Well then I think I might get a smart lock for my family’s house!
Do you know when it will be available in Canada
Never
Need Wifi capability and a sleek keypad. How loud is the lock when it's activated --??
How secure is this? Is it robust as a conventional door lock?
No
Yep I checked out at $229. Sheesh.
is the lock encrypted?
Overpriced IMO. I'd rather go with a $99 Wyze lock. It is a good value and has lots of features.
I didn’t think so. The nest lock I reviewed before is the same or more.
So, if the door unlocks automatically when you bring your phone close to the lock. Does the door unlock every time you are close to it with your phone? How does that work?
You can change the setting to do it by itself or not at all. It’s up to you.
Can this work with airbnb and channel managers to change entry access pass codes for guest?
Yes. You can do that in the app.
I can see a huge flaw with the hollow pin. Anyone test its strength?
Hollow is often times strong especially in bend tests.
ANSI tested Grade 1
Can you post the wallpaper @ 05:00 too? :)
By the time you asked it to open I would be in and have locked the door already.
Did they try to break the lock before putting it in the market. Cause it seems the build is a little filmsy since the bolt is hollow
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.
What similar products can you compare with level smart lock?
Nest Yale lock. I have a video on that as well.
zollotech will make another video comparing the 3 and showing us which is your favorite amongst the 3 like top 1 to 3?
@@zollotech That's a well made lock that works with WiFi.
👏👏👏 say no to paid reviews 👏👏👏
Will that work on a normal door knoob too
no
So how do you remove it?l from your door?
Deadbolt seems to be weak.
they replaced a solid metal deadbolt with a hollow deadbolt. well done.....now one can just kick the door and the deadbolt will bend
Usually hollow is harder to bend than solid when it comes to a steel rod.
Looks like you've never owned one. I had it for almost 3 years now .
Does the lev lock work with a ring doorbell
Only ring doorbell pro
👍
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.
hollow metal is less prone to bending
What screwdriver did you use, please?
999greeves You can use any manual or electric screwdriver.
Zach Thank. I realise this but was interested to know what specific make of driver you used in the video. It looks good. Thx
Do you need a Hub to use Level Lock or can you just use WiFi
it doesnt use a hub, it uses bluetooth or wifi.
@@zollotech Wifi if you have the home kit.
Do you still use it?
Hey Zollo. What if theres no wifi available!
Fernando Cumbe then bring your key or you could use data. But I don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t have wifi to begin with.
It doesn’t just use WiFi. It uses Bluetooth too.
@@zollotech It doesn't use wifi unless you have the home kit correct? Otherwise only Bluetooth.
What if u lost or the fon is stolen??
I think you should be able to open door in normal way
🤯🤯
Why would they not have it work on Android?
The asking price is outrageous when you consider there is no Wifi support or a keypad.
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?
Have you seen it in person? its actually pretty solid.
But i feel that it’s not strong enough! Anyone can break in easily.
Door look probably costs more than the actual door. The door is so light that if my dog were to ran in it, it would go thru it😅
Hey Siri Open my Level Lock smart lock. Sorry I can't do that. It's only supported in the United States. You are only in Australia and don't count.
This lock could be week the deadbolt isn’t even solid and holds a battery inside, someone can easily kick in the door and the lock will break
Like I commented before, a hollow bar is usually stronger, however your door jam will break much faster than a piece of steel will.
@@zollotech That's another reason that strike plate is inferior to most strike plates. But if security is not a high point I like the product. Not everybody lives in an area that's a problem but they might like the convenience.
What if an earthquake was happening
@lockpickinglawyer
that guy can pick any lock so that's not exactly fair lol
Way too expensive for that lock. Maximum price should be $50.
Not their problem you're broke

I really don’t like sponsored videos. They always come off as give me something for free and I’ll talk others into buying your crap. It’s inherently unethical, your compromised because you wanted it and got it for free.
I didn’t ask for it. They sent it and i agreed to review it whether i liked it or not. Sponsored or not i will give my honest opinion or I won’t agree to the sponsorship.
A hollow bolt for the front door? No thanks.
Yes, go look at a hollow steel bar vs one that is solid... Usually Hollow is stronger.
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.
