Let me start by saying this smart door lock promises a lot – fingerprint, face recognition, passwords, and even good old keys. The idea of never fumbling for keys again had me sold. But does it deliver? Here’s my take after using it for a few weeks.

The Good: The 3D face recognition is slick. Walking up to my door with groceries in both hands and having it unlock automatically feels like living in the future. The fingerprint scanner is fast too, and the stainless steel build gives it a premium, sturdy feel. No complaints about durability so far.

The Not-So-Good: Installation was a headache. The lack of clear instructions had me Googling tutorials mid-process. Worse, some users (including one reviewer) mentioned missing parts like the mortise lock – mine came complete, but this seems like a gamble. If you’re not handy or patient, professional installation might be worth the extra cost.

Who’s It For? Tech-savvy renters or homeowners who want keyless convenience and don’t mind a DIY challenge. If you prioritize foolproof setup over features, look for locks with better documentation or opt for professional installation upfront.
