These are only the homekit BT Smart ones and not the z-wave ones, unless i’m missing it somewhere. I’d buy a set right away but not interested in the bluetooth one
Both the Yale and the Schlage are good locks. I personally like the Yale a little better: they’re quieter and have a true capacitive touch screen. But they’re both good.
That’s a very good price on the Yale, but I don’t recognize the retailer.
Protected eventually, yes, but often times these individual sellers are just people who pick up close-out boxes at Home Depot or someplace else and I don’t really know what they’re selling.
For example, I would note the following posted about that particular seller on a sale this month:
I ordered 7 of these deadbolts, 1 wireless module is missing and 3 others do not connect. Can you send 4 new Z-wave modules please? We have already had all 7 keyed. Thank you.
So long as I know Amazon will take care of me, I generally trust fulfilled by. If worried though can get the Bronze one directly from Amazon :). Of course for what its worth, I’ve got broken stuff from them too
Mine are actually the YRD240s (no deadbolt) so not too worried about bumping, but good to point out. I admit I haven’t studied much on which is the least bump/pickable, all of them seem fairly possible if determined. That’s why I personally went with 240’s but couldn’t convince my dad to forsake the comfort of having a key
I have Schlage Connect locks. Security grade 1. I can pick them fairly easily. Most locks labeled residential are very easy to pick. 30-60 seconds on most I’ve tried… Scary. I wish they were plug locks like the ones on vending machines. Still somewhat easy to pick but it takes a while.
I’m still waiting on Instructables to come up with a DIY retina scanner.
