If there’s one thing in my holiday wishlist I think could be benefit me the most, it would be the Lockly smart locks. It’s been on my list since I saw one installed at my family’s place. Security is the number one reason why I’d like one installed at my door; I’d like to make sure my home is safe especially when I’m not around. But I also think having one could solve a few silly situations I experience at times once I get out of my door. Read on as I share my experiences and enter for a chance to win the Lockly Vision Bluetooth and Wi-Fi smart lock with video doorbell or the Lockly Secure Pro Fingerprint Wi-Fi deadbolt smart lock.

Why Lockly smart locks?

Life can be busy—and so much more this holiday season. There’s trying to check off the gift list, going out for a few of parties, and hosting family and friends. For me it’s a fun season to spend quality time with the people I love, and the last thing I need is worrying about an unlocked door. Well, we can start from there.

Did I lock the door?

Frankly it bothers me quite a lot if I can’t remember whether I locked my door or not. When that happens, I would have no choice but to return to my apartment to give my door a check. Routine tasks like locking the door rely on muscle memory. You just do it, without thinking much about it, and that’s why it’s easy to forget.

Lockly comes with an auto-lock feature which you can set, so you know after you leave your home, the door will be locked automatically. You also never have to be worried about getting locked out. It’s easy to unlock the Lockly smart locks and you can do it in many ways, which I talk about next.

I lost my keys

There’s a reason why I’ve placed a key bowl close to my door. (And I know many households do.) Doing so is a smart way to remind myself to pick up my set of keys before going out, so I don’t get locked out. It also reminds me to put the keys back as soon as I get home. Having only one place to keep your door keys helps a lot. Once I was ready to leave my apartment and found that my keys were missing on the bowl. So I had to turn my place upside down to find them, not realizing they were in a pocket of the jacket I used a couple of days back. It’s a hassle.

There are several ways to unlock your door when it has a Lockly smart lock. You can use the Lockly app on your phone (you never leave home without that!), as well as the fingerprint reader. You can also enter an access code onto the screen; set that code using the app, and change it as you please. With a deadbolt feature, the Lockly Vision and Lockly Secure Pro allow you lock and unlock your door using a key if you prefer to keep one with you. Now, there’s no reason for you to get locked out of your own door.

Wait, I’ll be home in 10 minutes

I welcome many family and friends to my home, though there are some unfortunate times I’m not there to open the door for them. Recently, I hosted a dinner get-together with my friends, when at the last minute I had to run quickly to the liquor store for wine. All of a sudden, my friends showed up at my door earlier than expected, so they ended up having to wait for me for a bit.

Through the Lockly app, the Lockly smart locks let you set and give away temporary or one-time access codes for your guests. This is a great feature if you own a rental unit, or if you’re frequently away from home, so if you’re expecting some guests you don’t have to let them wait for you in the cold. The Lockly app also keeps track of the entries and exits. You can check a daily timeline of when your door was auto-locked, unlocked manually, or by touch screen.

The best thing about these smart locks is that they are easy to install; each part has instructional stickers to guide you from first step to last. Shelly wrote a review of the Lockly Vision and Lockly Secure Pro, where she shared her experience installing one of the smart locks at her own home.

  2. One of these would help me these holidays (and beyond) with being able to let others in without needing keys. The camera would be very useful to see who’s there. I never lock myself out because I need to use my key to lock the door, but it would be handy to not need to dig around for keys, especially if you are carrying stuff.

  3. They would help me because I am constantly losing my keys! The kids love to scoop them from my purse or climb up to the key rack and before I know it they’re gone. Not having to worry about that would be great!

  7. The Lockly Vision or the Lockly Secure Pro would help me these holidays as I could provide the code to family members for those visiting without fear of losing keys,

  11. This summer I went away for a few days and immediately wondered if I had remembered to lock my doors. A lock like this would really help put my mind at ease.

    Having the auto lock feature will be nice to make sure the door is locked at the end of the day.

  34. I am OCD about two things, locked doors and lost keys. Both issues solved with one device. No more having to take keys when I go out on my mountain bike and losing them on the trail. No more doubling back home because I can’t remember if I locked my door or not.

  35. It would allow me to make a storage box for parcel deliveries. I could give the code to the shipping companies so nobody could steal them off the front porch.

  42. Shelly believes every door lock should have a camera and I couldn’t agree more. There have been numerous thefts around my neighborhood. Unfortunately, mine included. But we won’t let this get us down over the holidays. Happy Holidays.

  46. It would help not having to reach for keys every time I enter the house, especially in the cold. My kids could enter the house without having to carry keys that could be lost.

  48. I have been telling my husband for the last 5 years how convenient it would be to have a Lockly Vision Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Smart Lock with Video Doorbell. Being able to lock and unlock the door using an app would be so fantastic. Also knowing who is at the door where you were home or when you’re not at home would give me peace of mind.

  50. Hi,
    My door smart lock is getting on and off jamming the problem. I was thinking about buying another one to replace it. But if I win this then I save some money.

    What I like about the Locky smart lock is the keyless opening feature, it gives me relief because I have a habit of losing my key. Thanks.
