- Lockly certainly isn’t the biggest name in the smart lock market, but it’s a name you won’t soon forget after you check out the company’s flagship model.
- The Lockly PGD728F Smart Lock is one of the most versatile smart locks we’ve ever seen, and it performed remarkably well in our testing.
- Whereas most smart locks support one or two methods of secure entry, the Lockly Smart Lock can be unlocked in four different ways including with a PIN code, a smartphone, a fingerprint, or a physical key.
You might think that smart locks are a dime a dozen these days, and there’s no question that best-selling models from a few different top brands are more or less the same. But there are still some surprises out there if you know where to look, and we recently came across a terrific new smart lock that we definitely need to share with our readers.
Some people in search of a new smart lock want a model that can be controlled using an iPhone or Android phone. Other people prefer access with a PIN code, since that means you don’t have to fuss with your phone. Better yet, there are also smart locks out there that let you unlock your door with a fingerprint so you don’t even have to type in your PIN. This way, PINs can be reserved mainly for guests and other people you want to have access to your home, but you can enjoy the convenience of unlocking your door with a quick touch.
Now, there’s a lock that gives you the best of all three of those worlds, plus it supports a physical key as well for emergencies. It’s called the Lockly PGD728F Smart Lock and it’s easily one of the best smart locks we’ve tested in quite some time. It’s also currently in stock at Amazon with a nice 5% discount you can get by clipping the on-site coupon, and it ships for free in as little as one day in some areas thanks to
